How do people in general judge whether they are being told the truth or lies?

I'm absolutely hopeless at judging this. In fact I'm probably quite gullible - I've fallen for some whoppers!

Is there some kind of body language, signs and symptoms that you can use to
tell if someone is telling the truth?

No specific scenario around this just a life skill I seem to lack!

And others just decide everyone is lying and treat everything with massive suspicion untill proved otherwise.
And this is me. Trust is earned not lost. Oh jesus. This means I really do have the mental.

I'm not outwardly suspicious of people, I just take things most people say with a pinch of salt until I see proof/demonstration/confirmation. I thought most people did that?

Its easy to tell when someone is lying, there lips move
Or more importantly, they fail to spell.
