Whether you’re caught up in workplace gossip or having a situation at home, sometimes you wonder if the person you’re speaking with is being completely honest with you. 

It’s frustrating because I see in a lot of movies and TV shows, people being able to tell when another person is lying. Personally, I don’t think I’m very perceptive at picking up on that.

Well, I just came across a fascinating article on the Business Insider website. They spoke with a psychotherapist who’s trained the FBI and CIA and came up with a list of some signs someone is lying to you.

It’s pretty interesting.  Maybe next time you’re trying to determine if someone is being truthful to you, you could use these tips!

  • Liars talk too much -- Truthful responses are short and direct.
     
  • Liars try to sell you the truth -- When someone's telling you the truth, they're not interested in convincing you of anything. They only want to tell you the truth. Liars over-explain stuff in an attempt to convince you they're being honest.
     
  • Liars are relieved when the conversation is over -- Lying can be exhausting, which is why they're relieved once they're done talking.
     
  • Liars smile with their mouths, not their faces -- The smile doesn't include the upper part of the face, but the bottom of the face only.
     
  • Liars pretend to be calm -- They often try to portray the image of somebody who is confident by doing stuff like stretching out and yawning.
     
  • Liars' stories are too perfect -- If the story has no holes and sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

I find that when I’m speaking, sometimes I do some of these things.  But – I wouldn’t call myself a liar.  So, when you’re using these signs, just keep in mind, nothing is 100% accurate!

Record Store Day (RSD) 2023 is on April 22, and the list of titles being released features some impressive artists.

As in recent years, releases are broken up into three different categories:

-RSD Exclusive: These titles are physically released only at indie record stores.

-RSD First: These titles are found first at indie record stores but may be released to other retailers or webstores at some point in the future

-LimitedRun/Regional Focus: These titles are either regionally based and sold at specific stores or are press runs under 1000, which means they may be harder to find at record stores around the country.

Without further ado, the following are 40 titles we think you might want to add to your shopping list. The full titles list can be found at RecordStoreDay.com where you'll also be able to find a list of participating stores.
