When people lie straight to you and you know they are lying...

You wanna be their friend, but the lie strains that, how do you cope?

Really.

I don't know how to handle this

Perhaps distance yourself from that person and if they ask say that you need some time for yourself?

I usually doubt my insticts and find out way to late then I blame myself I am jolly fun to be around =)

gumper 07/27/2008

Well, I know they are kinda lying. I can see it.

But if I confront them, then after everything that has already happened, there wouldnt be a friendship left from that side.

I would not want to be friends with someone who lies to me.

deleted_user 07/27/2008

i am sorry is it necessary to bring it up can you live with the friendship knowing that they lie

gumper 07/27/2008

I can....I think.

Its just, frustrating.

I shouldnt even be getting frustrated over such a small issue...but id rather be told the truth then lied to.

deleted_user 07/27/2008

try to tell them in an underhanded way that yu love them and really think of them as a wonderful friend and yu would never want to lose them, and that yu hope they have told yu the truth about themselves because yu have.

Gumper... who is lying to you?

deleted_user 07/27/2008

I normally call em on the lie

deleted_user 07/27/2008

It would be so hard to be a friend to someone who lies right to your face. How do you ever trust someone like that?

deleted_user 07/27/2008

I dont cope with it well. I have ground rules. I am forgiving, but if it goes on more than like two three times. I mean bald faced lies like that. Get rid of them. No trust. No friendship. Hugs Mishka.

True about the acceptance thing.

i say let it go man

no one is perfect, you're probably fucked up in some way yourself

judge not lest you be judged, and the same measure you use, it will be measured back to you! (not saying you're judging, but just overlook their sin)

cut us sinners a break =]

deleted_user 07/27/2008

i accept people for who they are. even if that means theyre a liar. but i have a lot of trust issues and most words are wasted on me, so i dont really take what people say full to heart, which helps.
