How do you deal with liars?

I hate liars. I would ignore them. no matter what reason they hold. lol. happy mylotting.

It really depends on the lie, and what ties me to the person lying. I have a very good friend that lies basically every time she opens her mouth - well almost :) - mostly she lies about things that she wants to happen, and the worse part is that often she ends up believing her own lies. I might be able to overlook little white lies in a relationship - "of course those pants don't make you look fat dear" , or " yep I just mailed the letter to your mom, it's on its way" etc. But beyond that, it really is a problem for me. Specially because for some reason I always get warning bells when I'm told a lie LOL I like to confront early. And I like to confront with proof - so sometimes I might have to wait a bit until I get it. In a friendship, I sometimes might overlook a lie, depending on what it is, who's affecting and my perception of why it's happening.

I would treat liars as they deserve. I would like to have to deal with any of them. Some people are like that and utter half truths or blatant lies out of their mouth. HAPPY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR. © ronaldinu 2008

Mostly when a person is a liar, this person lies to him/her self as well. Some people really don't mean wrong. But, they have trouble dealing with the truth. And to be honest, we all have lied in our lives. Even a little white lie is a lie. Like Santa Claus... Take care.

If a people lying to me, I shall be very angry.because the lie lead to a lot of misunderstanding. I will warn to the liars, give him a chance, tell him stop lying. so we will still friends ,or else I will leave him away.

Dear Friend Liars are most dangerous person on earth just ignore them for once and all before you are betrayed again Thanks for your response and such a nice information...! Happy Mylotting Take Care Ganesh

Well, in the course of my lifetime, I have actually met quite a few who are like this. The main problem becomes that once a person starts lying you will usually end up catching them in a lie, as they cannot remember which lie they told, and when trying to cover up for it, they usually are far from the Truth still as well, and you really then begin to really wonder for sure as well. I hate being around people who are like this, and will usually try and avoid being around them if I can. For me it is a lot better if I can steer clear of them and live my life a better way as well. I have NO time for people who Love to lie, and hope someday they will wake up and realize there is more to life than this.

Look them straight in the eye. You can tell if someone is a liar if they shift their eyes.

I don't deal well with liars, backstabbers etc either I will lie to them for revenge or bring it out in the open so that people know who they really are although some lies are meant for good, they are still lies and in the end when it's all revealed there will be heartaches but if they lie for a good reason, I would just leave it to other people to decide and I won't hold grudge on them

I am afraid I tend to be somewhat confrontational with liars, but I recognise that the reason they resort to untruths is that they have some sort of fear of non-acceptance or punishment. As a therapist I have clients who lie to me, I can just tell. It is usually because truth is painful and they would rather not face it. My job then is to first of all expose the untruth, and then ask them to commit to truth at least whilst they are with me, or find another therapy best suited to the way they are. After a bit of a debate, they tend to opt for absolute truth. I think that we all tend to lie. Each time we say "Good Morning" when we really don't feel it isn't. Lies to cause subtle conflicts at a subconscious level, but without them we wouldn't be able to learn about ultimate truth.. What a paradox! Nice to be in a discussion with you again :-) Derek

Bit of a difficult one as I hate liars but, sometimes if you can't prove that somebody has lied then how do you make others see that? I sometimes have to just move on and tell myself as long as I know the truth then it doesn't matter but, I really do love being able to show everyone when somebody is lying as I think it is one of the most horrible things to do and everybody should see liars for what they are!

my goodness!!1 I hate liars. It's better for me to know the truth mo matter hos painful or upsetting it is as long as it is the truth rather than hearing lies just to make me feel good. How I deal with it? well, I have to tell that person straight to his face that I don't like lies. I want the truth whatever it takes. Lying is the devil's work and so, I don't want to spend my time with the devil's advocate. LOL.

ignore the liars and try to avoid the friendship anymore!

I think that we all have encountered liars in our lives. I think that the best thing to do when you determine if a person is lying is to not heed whatever they are saying. I think the hardest part is deciding whether or not the person is lying or not. I always try to give people the benefit of the doubt, so this is particularly hard for me. I think that the rule to live by is that we need to listen to those who tell us the truth, and ignore those who do not.

Liars and hypocrites are two types of people I try to avoid in my personal life. I have personally seen and felt the hurt that liars and the results of their lies can inflict on other people.

I think that I am a very tolerant person, but having someone lie to me, in ANY kind of relationship.. kills it IMMEDIATELY for me. I have trust issues as it is.. and even lying to protect me or to keep me from being hurt, or to just make me feel good.. just kills any ounce of trust that I might have had. I fear liars and stay as far away from them as I can get.
