my friend lies about everything she makes stuff up all the time and its starting to buyg me. its getting hard to just ignore it. like, if i tell her how i guy likes me, she has to tell me how some guy ive never heard of likes her. or she just lies to make herself seem more interesting. shes honestly the biggest liar ever.
Jami answered Thursday September 18 2008, 6:57 pm: It sounds to me like your friend has inadequacy issues. She some how doesn't feel that she measures up to you and maybe others. If she is really your good friend and you want her around, try talking to her about it and see if she is willing to be more honest. Maybe if you share with her that your views of her aren't nearly as negative has her own then she will start to feel better about herself. Another thing that you can try is including her more in simple things that you do that maybe she lacks. Things such as inviting her with you when you go to get a pedicure or a pair of really cute earrings that she compliments you on. Hopefully some of that envy that she has towards you can be turned into a mutual respect for one another. You don't need to be fake with her, but pay her compliments sometimes so that she knows that she is beautiful as well as you are. [ Jami's advice column | Ask Jami A Question ]
LagunaBabe answered Monday September 15 2008, 2:58 pm: I know how you feel, I had a best friend (actually, she still is one of my best friends, she did move away though) who was just like that. She made up everything about her life and the people surrounding her to make herself look better and did anything it took to make me or her other friends look bad.
I decided to talk to her one day and let her know exactly how I was feeling, she told me that she was sorry and that she would change. Did she? Not really, but hopefully, you'll have more luck than I did. I think one important thing to think about before you talk to her is that there is a reason why she makes up things about her life to make it seem better, meaning, there must be some bad things happening in her life to make her want to do that. So try taking that into consideration. [ LagunaBabe's advice column | Ask LagunaBabe A Question ]
MXbri answered Monday September 15 2008, 2:40 pm: Well Ive kinda had something like this happen to me recently...just on a bagger scale.
For me it was'nt that hard of a decision...but i had to let her go.
you just need to ask yourself how good of a friends she really is.
thats what i did and honestly she was'nt.
we still talk and are nice to each other...we just dont hang out.
and to be honest ive been so happy and drama free lately!
so you kinda just need to ask yourself is it worth staying friends when you feel like this all the time?
Hope i helped at least some.
keep me updated! :) [ MXbri's advice column | Ask MXbri A Question ]
Thereisaholeinyourlogic answered Monday September 15 2008, 2:39 pm: most people who lie a lot are insecure
maybe you should talk to her
though you don't want to say something to her incase she gets upset.
we all lie, some more than others, i would just try and deal with it, if not then maybe ask one of your other friends that know her if they notice it. If they do then you should maybe say to her
blackXroses answered Monday September 15 2008, 2:37 pm: you should just confront her and tell her that you're sick of her lying about everything and that you dont have time for her bullshit, in a nice way. a friendship shouldnt be based on lies and if she wont stop lying then maybe you should just ditch her and get a new friend. true friends dont lie and whats the point of being her friend if you cant trust her at all. looks like she has some kind of insecurity.
