lying friend!


Question Posted Tuesday August 15 2006, 1:11 pm

My friend lies about EVERYTHING and do I mean everything. Most of it is just stupid! When I told her I got my first period, (about a year or 2 ago) she told me that she got hers 3 months before that & so did her other friend, Anna. Well it turns out that Anna didn't get it for the first time until December of this year. She lied about her parents getting divorced and moving to another town to get attention about 8 months ago. I know it wasn't true because my mom talked to her mom and said it wasn't, and I drove by her house the day after she said the for sale sign was up, and nothing was there. It's so annoying! She even lies about having a threapist for emotional problems! It's almost as if she wants people to think she's crazy! I don't believe anything she says, and I don't trust her at all. It's really hard to talk to her because we've been friends since kindergarten, but I can't stand all the lies!

She obviously wants attention. I hate when people lie too. Just talk to her, & be like "You've been my friend since kindegarten, if your trying to impress me, or make me like you more, then don't. Because, you are actually making me like less & less. So just stop" Just say something like that to her. Just talk to her about it. & hope she stops.

I hope I helped, kbye

She sounds alot like my friend, she lies all the time to make herself look better then other people. This also makes her change, to fit in with other "groups" I hate it, but its just who she is.


Next time she lies, try to make if backfire.
If she says something like "My dog died yesterday" Ask her why he was running around outside this morning. After a few times of doing that, she should begin to realize that people know she's not telling the truth. Don't be too harsh about it either, maybe start off doing that while you two are alone, then if it continues do it when she lies around other people.


If the whole putting-her-on-the-spot thing doesn't work out. Talk to her, tell her you know whats up, and you want to know why its going on.
Don't be mean about it, she sounds sensitive. Just calmly tell her you know about her parents, her period, or other things she's lied about.

Other then that, just try to laugh it off.
I hope this works :)
