Should You Confront a Liar?

I know this person, who lies A LOT. Sometimes I confront him, if he says something that is about me or my friends, but otherwise I just ignore him when he talkes about those seventyseven places he has to be. Or about what expensive computer he has, that he hasn't ever brung in school. I don't care let him lie about those stuff, as long as he doesn't say something about those I care about. Or people in general. So my answer to your discussion is: Let them lie about their unrealistic stories - when they say something bad about people such as: "oh she or he has syphilis" or so CONFRONT THEM, because that is NOT okay. Not even if it's just a cold..

I really hate it when this happens. Last year, I was living with three roommates and there was one of them, who kept lying over and over again. In my opinion, for her own gain. We kept confronting her with it, over and over again, but nothing changed. She kept on lying, and I think that she is going to be on lying. She lied to us from the beginning. Even now, it's p*ssing me off, just thinking about it! In my opinion, there's not much to do with liars. You can confront them, but sometimes there's nothing to do about it. Sometimes, they're just not going to change and stop lying to people.

I can't stand a liar! My theory is this....confront them right then and there. For the most part you will never see it come out on a liar because they never admit that they have lied no matter what. And if you confront them in it they will usually deny it anyway but at least you have the satisfacion of seeing them squirm!

i prefer to confront the liar and set things straight. if he still continue to lie on me, i will fight fire with fire.

let they go on, coz a liar should make more and more fake story and then when the truth opens , it will make them have no face to see you again

i just don't like it when someone lies just to take advantage, such people must be taught a lesson! lay a trap and let him/her fall into it and then will they know it is so wrong to do that... let them get the taste of it!

There is no wrong if someone will confront us, but it is more appropriate if done in a proper approach. I won't stoop down on their level if they confronted me in the middle of the crowd. It is not acceptable and I might loss respect to them.
