These are the sites that I found where lies are approached:

According to these sites, a perfect liar must show these characteristics:

It is necessary to be a natural performer: directed gaze to the conversation partner, smiling, head nodding, learning forward, direct body orientation, posture mirroring, uncrossed arms, articulate gesturing, moderate speaking rates, a lack of ums and ers, and vocal variety. All these characteristics are associated with being honest and likable.

It is also important be well prepared: the less verifiable information is given, the less opportunity it provides for the lie detector to check. The better the preparation, the easier it is for good liars to lie effectively.

Being original and having a rapid thinking also helps: people who are especially good at lying are mentally creative and original. They are able to offer a convincing and credible answer in almost any situation. Good liars are also quick to respond to a question because waiting too long to answer would arouse suspicion.

Having a good memory is essential for a good liar, if they do not have it, they risk getting caught in their web of lies. They have to be able to recall what they have previously said so they can repeat the same information without contradicting themselves.

This week I have watched the last season of Vikings, I have continued working on my TFG, and I have started to practice the inversions for the exam.
