Make Someone Admit They Are Lying

Sometimes you know someone is lying, but can't prove it. This is a technique that works practically all the time, as it has been tried on parents, siblings, friends, family, teachers, and more.

Steps

  1. Find the liar's weak points. Maybe they don't like it when others talk about how their grandmother makes clothes for him/her, or maybe the liar hates talking about their bad cooking. Have more than two for backup.
  2. Figure out how you can associate the weak point to the lie you want him/her to admit. For example, if that person were lying about how he/she did not insult your friend, then maybe putting 'and also insulted this little boy because he could play soccer better than him/her' would be something that actually makes sense.
  3. It's easier to have the liar admit it to an adult, preferably not a close relationship, since if it was a friend-to-friend type of thing, you guys wouldn't be sure who's lying or not.
  4. Prepare your little weak point + lie recipe and get ready to use it!
  5. Gather the liar and the person you want the liar to admit their lie to together sometime during the day.
  6. If you were to use the example above, try saying something like, "Johnny insulted Mia and also bullied this little kid just because he could play soccer much better than him!"
  7. It's the nature of humans, "Johnny" will probably say, "I did not bully the kid!". Here is when they had admitted it. Funny how "John" denied him saying the part of bullying the kid, but did not deny insulting "Mia".
  8. Gain up (no just kidding, just get your best suspicious 'admit-it' look on) on the liar and say something that will probably anger me, like "Admit it John, let's say you asked little Ben what happened, and Mia didn't say anything about you not insulting her!"
  9. "John", desperate to escape will probably say, "I promise, I did not say anything to Ben!" (Which is true.) But he didn't say anything about "Mia" right? After a second chance. Show this to the person you want the liar to admit to, and the lie has been admitted!

Tips

  • Make the weak-point lie something likely that the liar will do, nothing crazy.
  • Try not to do it in a busy time of the day. Most likely one of you will overlook the admitting of the lie.

Warnings

  • Be sure that the person had truly told a lie. If you start accusing and lying about things they haven't done, that could get you into lots of trouble!
