A friendly liar


Question Posted Saturday March 19 2005, 3:16 pm

Ok, I have this friend and she really lies a lot and like I have told her many times before to be honest and she's like yeah I'm honest! But like 2 other chicks have also been her friends and she's also lied to them. So like now we have formed a group and like we talk to her but we make sure that she never talks to us alone like one to one. But we don't know hwo to tell her that she's lieing to us and to just fucking stop it. Help me please.

If she lies why give her the time of day.She probably won't change so, you'd be wasting your breath.Let her find someone else to lie to and forget her altogether.

I have known a few people like your friend. I like to call them "chronic liars." It's not that they are bad people, they normally have some deeper issues that cause them to do this. For example: I had a friend who would make up the most outrageous stories. Eventually, we came to the conclusion that she was lying for attention. Her parents had divorced when she was a child, and she still wasn't over it.

You can try talking to her, you can try to find out why she does what she does, and what her motivation is. If it doesn't work, then she might be one friend that you need to drop. I am very sorry to say this, but I believe that a friendship can't exist without trust. If you can't trust her enough to even be alone around her, where do you think that this friendship is going?

Tell her that be straight up with her and be stern and tell her that if she doesnt stop lieing shes going to end up with no friend and that she will just end up on her own, say that friends dont lie to each other because it can turn out even worse that what you might have been going on about. Friends dont lie to each other she needs to realise that what she is doing is hurting yours and your other friends feelings because you want the truth and a normal chat which isnt filled with lies.

Well the only way to tell her to stop is to talk to her alone one on one. It let's you and her know how you both are feeling about this situation. Tell her if she doesn't stop lieing that you're going to dump her. Or show her that lies aren't good. Set something up to teach her a lesson. After you try these two ideas and it doesn't work don't waste your time with her anymore. I hope I helped! ♥ good luck EDIT~ why the hell does everyone keep calling me a chick?
