In life we have all different people that we like to see aswell as chat to,some on a regular basis,some not so regular.The kind of people that i do not like chatting to are the deceitful ones.After a while of knowing a person you should know what type of person they are,but when you find that there is person that is soo deceitful,what do you do.

If I find out a person is deceitful I try not to have anything to do with them. Sometimes however, it is out of your control. If forced to associate with someone that I think may be lying, I try not to take whatever they say too seriously. The only problem with that is they may be telling the truth and you are so used to them lying that you don't belive them. Kind of like that boy in the fairy tail about "the boy who cried wolf".

I was that way about my older sister. I never believed her, as i knew she made things up, but there was a time or two I should have believed her.

I think that you are right that there are people that we do have to see or even tolerate,so i am like you tend not to even believe what they say.I find that there are times that i just want to say things,but bite my lip just to keep the peace.What do these people think that they can gain by being like that.

My ex sister-in-law used to make up stupid things. Sometimes it seemed like she lied just for the fun of it. I never believed a thing she said, but it was entertaining to see what she would come up with next.

I start keeping all of my business strictly to myself. I find reasons not to see them nearly so often. I sort of sneak out of their life, so that there is not a conflict, or a reason for them to start gossip about me.

I am like you i keep as much as i can to myself and never tell any of my friends what is going on in my life,as i have learnt that word gets to other people like my other friends that i have aswell as people that know my friends will say what they have heard.I also put all my important paperwork away from prying eyes.

Even a person that you have known a long time can seem to change what kind of person they use to be.They do say that you never know a person 100%

If you surround yourself with such people, sooner or later end up hurt you or benefit from them no matter the consequences. Sometimes you can not and you have to learn to live with such people, for example in a job, but in your life you have to walk away from such people, there has to get to know your friends and colleagues, without it is too late, but sometimes we get surprises incredible person or friend you least expect it and ended badly, and we fought to remove it from our lives.

I have to sometimes see people that are like this,no matter how much i do not want to see them.I think that i have learnt over the years not to say anything to them that i do not want them to know as i know that they are the type of people that tend to tell everyone else things that are going on in my life.

I have encountered people of those kinds on several occasions. You see, that is the reason why I became a choosy one when it comes to picking friends. I used to enjoy having lots of friends but when I realized that some of them do not deserve my sincere friendship at all, I just subtly started avoiding them. Now, though I am left with just a few good friends, I am more happy and relaxed.

I'll stay away from that deceitful person . And if it happens to be a real close friend , I'll end the friendship. There is no way I'm going to trust that person again.

I have learnt over the years that noone you can trust no matter how long we have known that person.I think that sometimes we do not get a choice to have to see these types of people,but if and when i do i tend to not tell them anything that is going on in my life aswell as what is going on in anyone elses life.

Well, I currently work with one that I would definately put in this category and it is sickening, and sometimes I would really Love to tell her what I think of her. The thing that bothers me about her is she one minute is claiming to be a Good little christian girl, in choir, etc. but next minute she is talking about what she was smoking or drinking the night before, and claiming about riding the Bus at child price and she is in her 30s. Then wonders why a Bus driver tries to kick her off. She also is one who will go to a Hospital ER claiming no insurance, place to live, etc. to get Charity care instead of taking responsibility since we have Insurance thru work and then never stopping to think about it is hurting her anyways in the pocketbook anyways. She is right now homeless, living with family as she was evicted and trying to fight it saying it was their fault. She also always tries to borrow money from someone and never tries to pay back. Personally I wish she would grow up and smell the Coffee and realize she is not a child to be handed everything too and is making a Bad name for herself, and her race.

I can name a few people that are soo deceitful,but there are more people than just a few people in life that are like that.I do not care much for people that do not pay their own way in life and depend on others to bail them out,these people are the ones that tend to think that everything is everyone elses fault and never their own.

Personally, I choose to ignore them. If they are going to lie to me, and not tell me the truth, or if they are going to try and con me into doing things that I don't want to do, then they really aren't worth talking to or being friends with.

I try never to take in all what they are saying,aswell as not to let on too much of what i know.I try to keep certain things to myself rather than telling people now as i have learnt that certain people do tell certain other people about all the things to do with me.I get to hear loads of things that are going on in other peoples lives from certain people,so i know that is what they are doing to me aswell.

That is simple. I stop chatting with them. Well, I do have one exception. One friend of mine is quite elderly and I think her mind is slipping because I have caught her in several lies of late. But she has always been a generous hardworking person, and because of my conviction that she means well, I choose to overlook this fault.

It can be hard if there are people that you have not alot of choice to see.Also sometimes i must admit that i feel upset for the person as i think that this is how they think is a way of life as they have always done it.I tend not to tell those kinds of people things as that way they can not tell other people what is going on in my life.

I will carry on talking to them.. haha =D BEcause they tend to expose themselves after some time.. When that happens, it's either they try to cover up, or they will start to treat u as a real friend, for we din expose them to others.. haha =D That's what happened to me, and my deceitful friend, and it all happened so naturally after that very incident.. hehe

I think that you are right that these kinds of friends are the ones that tend to expose themselves.The thing is if you get to see the friend that is very deceitful then you are always on your guard whenever they are around.

I know what you mean, I have a person in my family that is like that. I try not to talk to her that much or for too long, because she gets nosey and tries to ask questions about my family, like my siblings and stuff, she just wants to hear something that she can gossip about to other people. She's always been that way, she likes to cause trouble between people, so I try to stay away from her.

stay away from them as much as possible that would be my reaction. however in life did we not have a mandate from God to make disciples of all nation? This one is tough you have to pray for them, be kind to them and if that is not enough love them! Being a Christian is a full time tough job no wonder why we fail our tests all the time. jesus said who needs the doctor the sick or the well? ughh so there you go there is the answer but then it is just so tough.

It is hard to deal with a person that is soo deceitful,as you never really know why they are like that,as alot of the time in my eyes there is no need for them to be like that.

I just stay away from them, why give them fuel to feed the fire. I try not to be rude to anyone. I have heard or guess what some people can say, especially when I hear them talk about other people and I know it's a lie.

I know what you are saying and i do agree with you.I tend to not tell anyone anything to much as i know who is saying what to who aswell as what is going on by getting told from the people that it involve.I tend to know that in the past these people have got themselves in bother for doing things that are deceitful.

We humans can be so judgemental can't we? There is always a reason why people are like this and everyone needs love and understanding. Some need other things like compassion and forgiveness too. Maybe that person has come into our lives to teach US a lesson. We should be kindly pointing out the persons shortcomings or failings so they have a chance of redeeming themselves. Not many of us are big enough to do that I guess. What does that make us then? Just as bad I reckon.

Hello my friend jugsjugs Ji, I think, it may take whole life to find a true friend with whom one can rely. i have yet to find such person. Everyone is attatched with me as they tink I will be more useful to them. May God bless You and have a great time.

I dont also like those kind of persons. You know we should be very careful with people we know. Even those in our workplaces, we could not tell who really are real and who are not. There are those who seem true in front of you only to find out that they are talking behind your back. There are those who are too envious that they want to ruin you. That is why we have to be selective sometimes when it comes to having friends.

Hi jugsjugs!. I think I will start taking a distance and be careful with what I share with them. I had friend who was making friend with me for many years I was there for her when bad times comes but he think about me in bads ways like he think I was jealous to her (what to jealous for, I will never want to be his place even if they pay me one million dollar) and others nasty word who made realize she never really understand me a little bit. Its make in wake up call and my eye were open to something I denied to look, why so many people hate her even her sibling.

They all exists anywhere in this world and it is for us to be aware and be careful in dealing with them. As for my part, once I knew them, I'll avoid them and voila! They're gone in my life.
