It wasn't what I expected but I found SA facinating: I started to listen a bit more deeply and not accept everything on face value. It added another dimension to life and made things much more interesting, and I felt less of a gulible fool.<br />I dont work enough on it and would like to be a bit more deligent like HobNobs whom I remember coming onto the blog around the same time as me and has made so much progress.

I feel that learning Statement Analysis will enable me to write believable dialogue. I am hoping it will allow me to create and speak for characters who seem to be one thing on the surface, but are really another underneath; I'd like to show this first by words, for those astute enough to catch it.<br /><br />Two: I work at my church's food pantry, and as you can probably guess we get told many different stories on a daily basis, many of which are from people who are used to cheating the system in some way. I'd like to better learn how to distinguish truth from lies. For example, we had a woman today come in and claim five adults and five children living in her home. This is advantageous to her because we give out food and supplies based on one's household size; plus, if we have extra fruit or vegetables or eggs or something similar, a family with children will receive more of those items. We often have people exaggerate the size of their families. Upon investigation, we discovered that the woman actually had four adults and no children living in the home, and she received food and household goods appropriate to that size family. This is good for everyone concerned because then one can distinguish the liars from those who are telling what seems at first to be an implausible story (which has happened).<br /><br />Three: I'd just like to become a better judge of character. I often have a "gut feeling" about people, but I just as often can't put my finger on just why I feel that way. I'd like to be able to know why I feel the way I do. If I am trying to explain my suspicions to someone else, quite often they don't take, "I just have a feeling," as a reason.<br /><br />There are probably more, or sub-points to the above, but I feel that those are the highlights. :)brosnanfanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02437822701412339752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7164794708270892518.post-84985361237529555502012-09-18T15:10:44.507-04:002012-09-18T15:10:44.507-04:00I forgot to add, the "I didn't do it.&quo...I forgot to add, the "I didn't do it." formula is gold as is the advice not to trust reflective statements such as "Did you hit your brother?" "No, I didn't hit my brother." Especially the adding of 'my brother' since none of them ever says that in daily language. It's usually (name) or "he/she" or a derogatory term. You can still get 'I didn't do it' as a lie BUT if there's anything that comes after it then deception is indicated. Such as: "He said you hit him." answer 1. "No, I didn't!" Probably not lying. answer 2. "No, I didn't, I wasn't even NEAR him, he was the one who hit ME and he's been on the computer for HOURS." Deception indicated. Ha! And I know as they get older it's going to be even more valuable such as hearing about a friend of mine's son swearing up and down he went somewhere alone but the word 'we' kept on ekeing out. "Oh, I meant 'I'." No you didn't. I don't necessarily want to solve crimes, just keep the peace in my house.

Yes, I really do, not a liars number I swear! ;) 1 of them is the worst liar ever and is easily busted, the other two could win Academy Awards. So good that they could almost convince me they were being truthful even if I SAW what happened with my own eyes. Even with one kid easy to read it was hard to get to the bottom of things if something occured when I was not in the room. I started off studying the whole micro-expression thing after watching the series Lie To Me. I soon found out that I STINK at detecting micro-expressions but one link led to another and here I was looking at SA. What I don't stink at is interpreting shades of meaning in the English Language. (Telling you what I'm 'not' makes it doubly importantright? Yeah it is. I love ferreting around with other people's words.) So SA handed me a set of tools in the form of something I already do well (pronouns, verb tense, double negatives)and gave me some new ones that work very well (enter into the speaker's personal dictionary, change of perception and does the word intensity match the intensity of the situation.) I hate reading about the evil that people do to eachother here but I do value what I learn and continue to learn.Periwinkle Paisleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08746575926852682354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7164794708270892518.post-2949851775433181132012-09-18T04:23:36.143-04:002012-09-18T04:23:36.143-04:00Hi Equinox

Similar to Hobs, SA gave a 'why' to the red flags I was hearing, principle upon principle.<br /><br />I lurked for awhile until I got the courage to post. I asked a lot of questions. I was encouraged by Peter and Heather's patience, and their humor, as well as the 'regulars'. <br /><br />My big lightbulb moment was when I finally understood someone could be truthful, line by line, and deceptive in the same statement.

I was recouping from exposing devastating events at my job (corruption, fraud, harassment, civil rights violations, etc.) which led me to resign. The financial loss was depressing enough, but the personal loss I suffered was horrible. I was a victim and couldn't believe the number of people at work who were corrupt and would not speak out. I lost my trust in people. SA has helped me regain confidence in myself again. I can trust again now, because I have the tools to not get burned again.<br /><br />Apparently, I've always had a natural ability to smell out deception. My husband of 25 years calls it my "built-in bullshit detector". I used to bust my teenage kids all the time and he would say, "I'm glad you weren't my mother. How did you know they were xyz?". I couldn't explain it then, but I recognize it now as a amateur form of SA.<br /><br />In my early years in school, I got in trouble, a lot, for calling out teachers if they lied (and they do sometimes). I would always speak up for truth and righteousness. I'm getting back to it again.<br /><br />Thank you, Peter and Heather for all you do!<br /><br />Mainahnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7164794708270892518.post-72567573017412812452012-09-17T12:52:31.833-04:002012-09-17T12:52:31.833-04:00I think I found this site when I was looking for i...I think I found this site when I was looking for information on the Lisa Irwin case. I have been interested in SA since the Susan Smith case, I just didnt know that it was SA. I laughed when I read Hobnobs post where he/she? (sorry) talked about the emails. I find myself doing the same thing! I also think that the point that perhaps we have all experienced something in our childhoods is interesting. My dad was verbally abusive and very strict. He was always suspicous that I was up to "bad deeds" in HS and would question me repeatedly and in a circular fashion to catch me in lies. The lies he caught me in would be that I talked to a boy in band class, or I talked to a boy on the phone when he wasnt home. I would lie to try to do normal stuff so I think I got interested in the how and why and when people lie. Reading this site has helped me to find the reasons behind my own "feeling" that someone is telling lies, whether in my own experience or these cases that we follow here. The downside is that being able to examine the statments in all these unsolved cases and not seeing any one prosecuted is heartbreaking.

My ah-ha statement analysis moment (when I realized I was 'getting it') came when I tuned into a change in language which, is something that I don't readily pick up on when I'm analyzing. Recently I discovered that when favours were requested, i.e., fell a tree, open/close "the cottage", split/stack wood, haul massive propane tanks, it was referred to as "the cottage", a.k.a. a family retreat. When requests were made to visit for pleasure, i.e., bridge the gap between my husband's summertime childhood memories and the kids', it was "our place"... i.e., a refuge for them at the exclusion of us. <br /><br />"Our" in this instance is my father-in-law and his 'girlfriend'.Nichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09150573665283919209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7164794708270892518.post-21882514954511162652012-09-17T11:09:47.995-04:002012-09-17T11:09:47.995-04:00Like Jazzie, I arrived here after becoming overwhe...Like Jazzie, I arrived here after becoming overwhelmed with the Meredith Kercher murder. I was certain that AK and RS were lying. Certain! But I just couldn't say why. Of course, at first it merely pleased and reassured me to find a blogger who agreed with me and was so effective at ripping the stripes off of the paunchy, balding semi-pedophiles who drooled over the posing AK's every word. Their lies and their impassioned obsession with the killer horrified me almost as much as the murder. As I continued to study Peter's prolific writings I found answers to so many situations which have dragged down my success in life. I am trusting, in the past I would even say gullible. I want to believe everyone, but the toll of my trust had left me penniless and scarred. SA provided a stepping stone to greater confidence in my daily life.

I found statement analysis (...Good morning, Peter.<br /><br />I found statement analysis (your site) when I was Googling information on Kyron Horman. <br /><br />Lying wasn't tolerated when I was growing up but my parents didn't tell me that people lied all-the-time, either. Including my parents. (!!!) I really couldn't tell when I was being lied to because my conditioning was that lying was unacceptable, yet every thing around me was a lie. I had the wrong people in my life from friends to boyfriends (and eventually a (now ex) husband,) who had me dispensing a lot of time and energy (compassion and forgiveness when it wasn't deserved) because my framework taught me that they were "good and trusted/ing" people. But they weren't. "I" was nothing more than a means to an end, be it money, shelter, favours, time, etc. Long story short, I cleaned house and I am much more discerning these days in terms of who I will open our life up to. As a result, life is a lot less complicated and dramatic. Although there are people around me whom I'm obligated to have around. I share a lot of what I learn here with my husband. When we are out meeting our "obligations" he's more in tune with what's really being said. It's disappointing for him; however, the truth is what it is. Knowledge makes it easier to say, "No." Or, "We're busy."<br /><br />Nichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09150573665283919209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7164794708270892518.post-26827924975035101772012-09-17T09:35:59.495-04:002012-09-17T09:35:59.495-04:00Mommaklee, in my OWN opinion, Deborah Bradley is n...Mommaklee, in my OWN opinion, Deborah Bradley is nothing but a dirty pig, <br />is a rooter seeking her own slop, self-fulfillment and pleasure. It does NOT <br />include any intrusions into her adult fun time from any little whining, <br />teething child with a cold, fever and a runny nose. For that, a child <br />could get it's little head bashed and did. She is a stupid drunk who lays<br />down and bears babies for the income it will provide her so she can<br />CONTINUE in her disgusting dirty pig lifestyle without having to work. <br /><br />The weak-kneed spineless little whimp she sired Lisa with is nothing <br />more than her enabler who currently supports her habits and helps to<br />feed her and the dependants she already gets support from that she bore<br />by another man. She gives him a little every now and then just to <br />appease him and keep his mouth shut. He trembles before her presense. <br /><br />She is another one who has gotten away with killing her own baby. She is <br />the lowest of the low, as they all are. Ahhh... but there's a judgement<br />waiting for them all, INCLUDING the dirty cockroach lawyers who represent,<br />lie for and cover up for them. I WOULDN'T want to be in their shoes <br />come the great and dreadful day of the wrath of our Lord! <br /><br />On another note; I too have learned a lot from Statement Analysis, coupled <br />with the abilities that I already have and practice. It can be an invaluable <br />pursuit. I guess that's why I hang on, because some days the cases I read<br />here distresses and hurts me so much that I can barely stand to think about <br />them and they trouble me greatly.

An article came up on my newsfeed written by a mom defending Deborah Bradley (like right when the news came out) acting like you were a big meanie if you judged D.B. So I was like, I've never heard of this and don't know anyone bashing DB. That actually made me look into it more and something just wasn't right. I couldn't put my finger on it, but things just didn't add up and I had a strong feeling like DB was lying, but didn't know how to prove it. Then in my searching, I found the Scared Monkeys forum and through them I found this blog. I was SO glad I did.

I believe that for most of us lying and deceit vs <br />truth and honesty has its' roots in our childhood. How to say this delicately <br />and with thoughtful consideration? Due to respect and compassion, I won't go any <br />further than to say, that in realizing my observations; other than to say that in <br />the case of a few, one in particular; experienced a very horrible childhood and <br />witnessed extreme and deplorable abuse and conditions in earlier years that left <br />permanent scars but with the ability to seek out and find the truth, leading this <br />person to being the astute, brilliant and devoted person he/she is today. <br /><br />It is my belief that for many of us (and the few I've particularly observed), we <br />experienced and witnessed very unpleasant and painful situations in our childhood <br />that left us with an indelible fixation on finding and practicing the truth. In my <br />own case, my parents were devoutly christian and would tolerate no lie or even the <br />appearance of a lie. But they were so gullible and unlearned that they would believe<br />a lie, any lie.<br /> <br />Imagine what that is like for the child who did NOT lie but had many many whippings <br />for the lies told by brothers and sisters against that child, and the mother believed<br />these siblings and whipped the child who was being lied against for the things THEY<br />did, THEN whipped the child again for telling a lie, when the child had NOT lied. That <br />child was me. Imagine what it is like being whipped with peachtree switches platted <br />together for things you didn't do and lies you didn't tell nearly every day of your <br />life until you finally ran away. I grew up to hate liars and am an astute observer of <br />lies and trickery. Who wouldn't? <br /><br />We have all been lied too and against, and will continue to be. There is no way to <br />stop a crafty liar. It's never gonna happen. You just have to be smarter than they are <br />and stay one step ahead of them. I can't remember exactly when I first started reading <br />Statement Analysis but it was several years ago. In my case, I will probably never be <br />an expert in merely statement analysis as I am always on my toes looking for lies and <br />practice my own brand of getting to the truth due to the nature of the business I've <br />been in for more than 30+ yrs, which specifically deals with writing legal contracts. <br />I cannot afford ANY lies and deception in my business as it could and likely would <br />lead to multiple lawsuits. I have to begin by hammering out the truth before the first <br />I is ever dotted or the first T crossed as I will not deal with any liar. It is too <br />costly. A liar in such a serious busines as mine is politely asked to leave my office <br />and go elsewhere. But on a personal level, I am forever cognizant of all the liars <br />walzing into and out of my life. It is a never ending battle of the wits. <br /><br />Anon In Sunny Fla.

I suppose I'll never come to terms with that.<br /><br />Ayla's case is another that touched me. I can't stand seeing people who are obviously involved in the "disappearence" of their children get away with that. At least with statement analysis we are able to know what they did and sometimes even how they did it.<br /><br />I'm really interested in knowing when people lie and discover the truth behind their words, so I love this blog!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7164794708270892518.post-21186580958756101902012-09-17T07:13:35.843-04:002012-09-17T07:13:35.843-04:00I found this blog in the pretrial Casey Anthony da...I found this blog in the pretrial Casey Anthony days - and was hooked immediately because it explained why I was so confused by her obvious and blatant lying. <br /><br />I stuck around as a daily reader because of the analysis.. Although I do have to take breaks from time to time, when the intensity of the stories and the heartbreak and outrage I feel grows overwhelming. Even then, though I do become overcome by the evil in the world, I always return because it feels like by talking about these cases and bringing that which is hidden into the light, we are honoring the victims. <br /><br />I also enjoy the historical SA - those recent posts on WW2 were fascinating. <br /><br />Since starting here, I find myself noticing principles of SA on my emails... Especially when I am trying to hedge an uncomfortable topic - I noticed the dropped pronouns and 'we' vs I. It helps me be more straightforward, and forces me to communicate clearly, even when I might not want to ;) <br /><br />-PinklmnadeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7164794708270892518.post-8080231269935553192012-09-17T03:07:16.876-04:002012-09-17T03:07:16.876-04:00I have much the same story as Hobnob.

Perhaps because I live in Africa where violence happens on a daily basis and I would never leave my children unattended for a minute the McCann story just did not sound right from day one. This lead me to Peter's site and from there it has become a fascination for me, learning from every source I can.<br />On a personal note, many years before, my husband started seeing a girl who played squash with him at the club. We had been married about 20 years when this happened. I confronted him about it and I never believed his denial. Now I know why. He never answered the question. His denial was "nothing happened" and "what do you think I did - do you think I am having an affair.". SA confirms for me that something did happen and what it was what I thought - he did have an affair with her. Classic SA!<br />My marriage has survived 31 years only through the Grace of God who is with me every step of my daily walk. My only regret is my husbands inability to have told me the truth it is hard to know that I cannot just trust him but need to run everything through SA.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7164794708270892518.post-61803906168452328932012-09-17T02:47:42.490-04:002012-09-17T02:47:42.490-04:00Hi Hobs,
