No. Or at least, not with any degree of certainty, unless they're REALLY freaking out, blinking constantly, etc. And even if that were the case I'd probably assume something else. Lying, to me, is most easily detected in the voice/speech.



No, not at all. I don't really associate being nervous with lying. That may be because I'm not around people who lie to me very often, but I AM around people who have poor social skills on a regular basis. I'm a computer science student at a large university, and work part time as a programmer in a large company. I see a LOT of socially deficient folks. I don't assume they're untrustworthy.



Noooooooo. Pretty much the opposite in this case. The only people I've known who really make it a point to look you in the eye are businessmen / salesmen, who have had body language training drilled into them. Definitely people I don't particularly trust.



Yes, but not in a trusting sense, just in a general comfortability (shut up, I say it's a word) sense. It's hard and unpleasant to talk to someone who is obviously and genuinely uncomfortable talking to you. I don't assume they're uncomfortable because they're trying to pull something on me, but I DO form an opinion on how pleasant it is to interact with them.



No. Most of what people attribute to the eyes is really more about the general facial expression. I've never liked the whole "smiled with his eyes" expression, or whatever. The eyes don't change. Without the help of the rest of the face, the only expressions you can really make with your eyes are surprised/scared, and sleepy.
