Starting a verbal response with a pause can sometimes indicate the fabrication of a story or a lie.

It’s hard to tell if someone isn’t telling the truth, especially if you can’t hear their voice or see them to see their body language. Some psychologists teach microexpression researchers and analysts that pauses in speech or the use of certain words at the beginning of a sentence are a good indication that a lie is being told or about to be told. Let’s discuss this, shall we?

Deborah G. George, Global Marketing Strategist, notes that; “It has been suggested that beginning a sentence with” Then “generally means that what follows is largely fabricated.”

Maybe you have also heard something like this? I have also heard that any doubt to answer a question is a sign of things to come is less than true. In English, another word that is often associated with this is “basically”, which is used as a pause that allows the speaker to evoke a story. Or could it also be like a ‘micro-expression’ telling the listener “hmm” now I am entering the thinking phase and I am processing and continuing at the same time.

When I have witnessed people using ‘so’, it has usually been when answering a question in which it is a ‘continuation’ and the speaker is ‘thinking’ of a way to answer the question in a non-condescending and respectful way. that the listener and really everyone who is listening can understand the concept. Speakers, managers, leaders and now even parents and teachers are doing it, using the ‘such’ and for so many reasons, most of which seem to be surrounded by a concept that ‘there are no stupid questions’ and’ thanks for asking and allowing me to explain further and share this with all of you. ‘

Now this use of ‘so’ has migrated even further throughout society and seems to be a good way of letting the other person know that we are on an equal footing here, or ‘comfortable’ with the grassroots, in doing so. the conversation can continue with an open communication flow. I think it is a good thing, but it is not good for the speaker if someone listening may think that they are lying, do you see that point? Therefore, we must be careful to prejudge when we hear someone use “so” at the beginning of a sentence.

Deborah’s comment is duly taken into account because any use of this type is a pause, and that means thinking is being done, and often pauses after questions, especially simple ones, can indicate that someone is making up a story. . By the way, you have made a very good point. Please think about this.
