Question Posted Saturday January 31 2009, 10:37 pm
my best friend lies to me allllll the time. about probably everything. i never know what to even believe anymore. like nothing huge, but just small stuff. like i'll ask her what she did tonight, & she'll be like oh i went to the movies with my sister. & really it was her other friend. & i don't know why she lies about this? i dont care if she went there with other people? i hang out with other people too, ha? i confronted her about it, and she said she wouldn't do it again. but obviously she still is. what do i do? i don't even know if i should bother being friends with her.. i kinda feel like shes holding me back.. nobody really likes her.

It's one thing to tell white lies every once in a while to maybe avoid hurting their feelings but lieing about what you did that night is rediculous. It's not something that your bestfriend should do.
You don't just want to sit there and wonder if she's really telling you the truth.
You should sit her down and talk to her about it one last time and if it doesn't change, she's not worth having for a friend.
Say "You're my bestfriend and everything. But you lie about everything! You don't understand the concept that I don't care if you hangout with other people. You don't have to LIE about it. I want to be able to believe what you say, not wonder if you're really telling me the truth."
She should understand :)
Hope I helped.

if you're one of those people that doesnt want any drama then I would just not talk to her, find a new group of friends that you can actually trust that won't lie to you to hang out.
if noone likes her then you don't have to worry about people getting involved with yalls fight. why be friends with someone who lies to you all the time? obviously she's not a true friend.

But i would just tell her that you are not going to take lying in the friendship of yours and that if she is going to lie then yall shouldnt be friends... But you mihgt want to just talk to her about it... alone!
(:

you should probrably try and branch out, make other good friends that you can hang out with besides her. [ 666's advice column | Ask 666 A Question ]
