If someone is going out of their way to deny something, they just may be guilty. This might be a heads-up for you.
An unsolicited denial occurs when someone blurts out something that refutes a statement that is not related to the topic of discussion—something very unexpected. For example, “It’s not like I was feeling guilty—I didn’t do anything wrong,” when feeling guilty was never part of the discussion. So where did the guilt come from?
It’s likely there are some truths bubbling away just under the surface. When someone claims innocence for no reason, they almost certainly are guilty of something, and you’ve just caught a glimpse of the real person behind the statement.
