18. His Throat Gets Very Dry
The body can’t fight certain nervous reactions. A big one for guys with something to hide is that their throat will get dry. We know, it sounds weird, but it’s so true. Keeping something from you is going to make him nervous. According to Cosmopolitan, “his body actually goes into freak-out mode.”
“When a secret is big enough that he’s worried he may lose something important if it’s revealed, research shows that his esophageal muscles will start to constrict, causing his throat to dry up,” says body language expert Janine Driver, for Cosmopolitan. If he starts swallowing a lot during the conversation, it’s because he’s trying to loosen those throat muscles. Pay attention to the topic when this happens.
