Liar, Liar


Question Posted Thursday November 8 2007, 8:34 pm

I am a bit of a pathological liar, but the thing is I only lie to certain people. For example, I tell a person everything is ok when its not only because I don't want them to know that I'm upset or in pain. These people are people who either don't like me or want to see me fall or upset. How do I stop the lying without letting them win?

If something is bothering you, instead of lying about it, just tell them. But when you do tell them, don't start bawling into tears and complaining about it. That will be falling apart. Say it like it is no big deal.
Example:
"What's wrong with you?"
"Ah, just having a bad day, no big deal."
Say it calmly without whining. You will be telling the truth, without showing you are too upset.

That's not lying at all. Most people in their life have said "I'm fine" when they're not. You're certainly not a pathological liar.

If it's people who don't like you, you don't owe them anything. Lying to your friends is one thing, but telling someone who wants to see you hurt that you are fine, is a nonissue.
