A friend who often lies to me

Most of the friend usually lies, why? because they envy you.. They don't want you to know in what they do so that you won't get any idea specially towards courting a woman. He will hide the real fact, until such time you will find what is it and confront him. Some friends also use your name as an alibi, when he ask for a permission to go out with somebody. But you must not tell your friend every secrets you have, try to keep it to your self specially those personal secrets.

I've had several friends like that. When you know a person is lying it's almost impossible that you'll be tricked by that person. I just ignore what he tells me that I'm sure is a lie. But in your case, you said your friend has bad intentions, you may have to be extra careful with that one. It might get out if hand one day. He isn't your friend if he has bad intentions for you.

If I discovered that a trusted friend of mine began to lie, they would no longer be a friend but just an acquaintance. I don't tolerate lying of any sort.

Does he bold face lie or is it more like an exaggeration of the truth? Yes I know they are both lies but there is a difference when it comes to "no I didn't steal your money" or "ya, the car has an awesome paint job and I paid 15,000 for it (when in reality it cost like 1000 and it is all scratched up)" I would just see if it was meant to be untruthful or if he is trying to impress.

First,he is not a friend. A friend is someone you can rely on and not someone who'd lie to you. Eventhough you are enjoying doing things together but only for the sake of having fun.Aren't you afraid that if time will come that your friendship with him will be tested he's turn his back on you and give you lies instead of helping you out with the truth. I don't get it when 'friends' lie... I don't want to be associated with someone who can't tell the truth...

yaar i have 2 guys good friends to me, they gossip (tell lies) i only listen to them talk and keep nodding, but i will not reply or utter any word, i dont take it serious but i will be very careful with myself

I used to have a work colleague who was also a friend and she had the terrible habit of lying almost all the time! Some of the lies she told didn’t even make sense as they were situations where there was no need for her not to tell the truth. For some people lying becomes such a habit that they begin to believe their own fibs and for some they lie because they have bad intentions. Either way it is impossible to trust a liar and without trust no relationship is worthwhile in my opinion. Have you spoken to him about this? The sad thing is that he will probably lie anyway...I would reconsider the friendship...

Hi, I am not sure if my friend lies to me often but if she does, I believe she has a reason. And if I knows she is lying, I won't want to reveal to her unless she told me willingly. Because there are times when I will lie to her as well because I want to avoid certain things which I see it too personal to let her know. Unless your friend lies about terrible things, which affects you in making major decision or judgement about certain people or things, else it's nature for us to let it slip without making things weird for each other.

Yes. I have good friends who lies to me. What i do is just listen to what they're saying but i don't agree at all in what they have to say. In that case, it sends them a signal that i know that they're lying.

Yes, I have a friend, well actually she is my bestfriend. She used to lie to me all the time, I mean all the time.. It would be rare if she tells me the truth. What I did was not believe her. I just got to her lying that I already learned the pattern of her lying that I know when to and not to believe her. If she lies to you all the time, just listen but never bother believing just to be safe.

All i can say is been there, done that lol i mean i have some friends really close friends who always lie to me as well. But instead of looking at it negatively i just made sure that i always be honest with them and make sure that i treat them well. I tried doing reverse psychology to them, like do the things that they dont do to you. And im hoping that somehow they will be able to appreciate the goodness that im giving them and in return slowly they will mend their ways and me a lil bit more honest with me and stop lying just because they want to.Even though they lie to me alot i still like them as my friends because i believe still that every human is capable of changing themselves if they really want to. Have a great day and hope to see you comment on my topics as well my friend

There are many people whose natures are that kind they feel more proud of themselves let's say when they overexagerate something about their life for example.On the other hand I wouldn't feel comfortable if I knew someone lies to me.What does it mean a real friend if most of the things he says are not real.

I cannot stand people who lie. especially people who lie about stupid things. I will end a friendship quicker over dishonesty than anything else. The bible says the Lord hates liers and although I have not gotten to a point to hate anybody. I hate lying and will take myself far away from it as quick as possible!

I understand you because I also have a friend who is always lying even for simple things we're talking about. Honestly, I can't get her because when she lies, she's just making things so complicated and giving me reasons to think that all that she was saying were merely lies. I think, she is an concoction expert. Meaning, she does great in making stories and making us believe with her lies. However, me and our friends really told her about it. She changed though but of course, only a bit. She is one of my closest and my best friends so I just have to accept and understand her for who she is and don't forget to let her know when she is exaggerating already.

Thats good that you have a good friend you can make him not lie to you , you cna talk to him personally, there was a friend of mine who was lying to me , but when when i was about to break friendship he promised he will not lie to me , now we are good friends but he doesnt lie all topic but yes some he does, which i dont take much into my worry

i had a friend once and was my best friend to who told me so many lies. i found out about them later when we were best friends for years. she just used me cuz i was the next best thing i guess. i did was i told her straight up that i knew she lied to me. i mean u may argue and be mad at each other for awhile but if u rly are good friends then u to will get over it.

I a close friend lies to me often without reason, he will not be close friend anymore. How can you say he is your close friend and often lies to you? I would like not to have friendship with a person who lies evry now and then for no reason. he may have his reason to lie but why so, if he is your close friends should tell the truth. May be he is afraid that you will not take his side on those matters and he lies.

I have the same friend who always wants to tell a lie and inventing story as well, especially when she need something from me,she keeps telling stories to make feel she is sincere and whatsoever. But I loss my interest to her,it makes me sick every time I found out that she lied to me,even in a very simple thing and situation so I keep distance to her and let her analyze whats her intention of telling a lies.I didn't not say I'm a perfect one whose not telling a lie but for always it doesn't make sense anymore and it will lost the trust of others if get used to it. Good day!

as long as her lies does not harm me or someone, it's ok with me...

I don't really know if i have friends who lies maybe white lies but not bad lies really, i don't like people who has that bad attitude, if i have known a friend of mine who lies directly on my face an i know for sure that he/she are lying i will confront him/her and ask why do you have to lie to me just like that, it's very annoying just to think people who has that attitude maybe they are very insecure.
