This works for a good amount of people but not everyone. I see a lot of these with people I see who lie a lot. And I mean a lot. You'd be surprised how easy it is to find someone lieing with these.

I'd really appreciate it if you guys vote/like any chapter that was useful to you and if you guys comment things you'd like to see in the future. It would really help me out.
