My friend lies a lot! I can't stand it! And it's not the little stuff either! She would tell you she's dieing and then let you believe that for like 5 months! And then she'd lie to cover it up. It drives all of her friends crazy! And when I talk to her about it, she just yells at me! How could I talk to her without her yelling at me?

orphans answered Thursday May 26 2005, 12:25 pm: maybe you should get like all of the people that her lying too into like a group and then talk to her. that way she'll know that it's not just you that's concerned about her, that it's a lot of other people too! tell her that if she keeps lying like this, one day she's going to get into a LOT of trouble! but tell her nicely so she doesn't get even more mad. tell her that you're just telling her all of this as a friend, because you're trying to help her and you don't want her to get in trouble. if she starts yelling again then tell her nicely that she's taking it the wrong way. hope it works out!

advice~gurl answered Thursday May 26 2005, 11:20 am: E-mail? I personally would just let her lie, she's only hurting herself when she lies, no one else.
If you're really annoyed then try talking to her very calmly, and don't just start telling her that she lies, actually wait until you two are alone, and say "please don't get mad at me or yell, I just want to discuss this" and make it so that she can add her opinion too. If she denies ever lieing then let it be. If she wants to lie all the time then let her, its her choice.
elscorcho96 answered Thursday May 26 2005, 1:30 am: I knew two pathological liars and was manipulated by them far longer than I should have let them. Talk to her and give her an ultimatum: start telling the truth or lose your friendship. Hanging around people like this is not good for you, I had incredibly low self-esteem two years after I lost one of my "friends" because they had messed me up so much.
Let your other friends know what is going on and make sure that if she starts spreading lies about you that they can get the truth from you. You're dealing with a very tricky type of person, be very careful with what you do and stop telling them anthing personal about you or your other friends right now. I guarantee you that if you should get in a fight they will use something about your life against you. [ elscorcho96's advice column | Ask elscorcho96 A Question ]
OrangeChikn answered Wednesday May 25 2005, 10:45 pm: I know someone just like her. With a person like her, you are going to have to cut to the chase to solve this. Talk with her. Tell her you are tired of her lies. Tell her it needs to stop or you can't stay friends with her, that you need to be able to trust your friends. The big thing to do though- don't take a break while telling her this. She will likely make excuses. '
charmed3fanatic answered Wednesday May 25 2005, 8:16 pm: well.. talk to her in a group... tell her that she can get her self into deep trouble lying.. if your in a big group hopefully she will listen because of all the people that are concerned... talk nicely to her... you have to tell her (if she yells) to bring it down that you are only trying to help and it is for HER own good! hopefully it will help.. if not maybe you need to get a guidance councler involved... believe it or not she can get in deep trouble lying like she does... one day.. one day.. she will learn her lesson!

kamikazecb answered Wednesday May 25 2005, 8:13 pm: You need to make sure she knows that when you're talking to her, your talking to her. She needs to listen. And if she trys to talk, tell her to stop and listen to you while you talk to her. If she starts yelling at you, tell her that its the truth and if she can't handle that walk away. Don't stick around if she is going to be like that. You don't deserve a lieing friend. [ kamikazecb's advice column | Ask kamikazecb A Question ]
chakra answered Wednesday May 25 2005, 8:13 pm: next time yoy find out she's lying just tell her you've had enough and your not the only one who knows about her lies and if she carries on then she wont have any friends left. [ chakra's advice column | Ask chakra A Question ]
