Identifying Fake Tears
Fake crying can be difficult to identify, as it can often look and sound very similar to genuine crying. There are, however, a few key differences between the two that can help you distinguish the difference.
Body Language
One of the most obvious signs of fake crying is body language. Genuine tears will often be accompanied by trembling, shaking, and an inability to control the body's movements. Fake crying, on the other hand, will often be accompanied by very little body movement. The person may also be trying to control their body in order to make the crying look more believable.
Facial Expressions
Another way to tell if someone is fake crying is to look at their facial expressions. Genuine crying often brings about a variety of emotions, and these will usually be reflected on the person's face. Fake crying, however, often does not produce any real emotion. The person may also be trying to conceal their facial expressions in order to make the crying seem more genuine.
Lack of Tears
Finally, one of the most telling signs of fake crying is the lack of real tears. Fake crying often produces very few, if any, tears, whereas genuine crying often produces a large amount of tears. This can be a dead giveaway if the person is trying to pass off their fake crying as real.
