People who you consider trustworthy and true can hurt you by lying. It can affect your relationship. But how can you handle those people who lie to you? What were your insights?

I don't usually lie to anybody.The only thing i lie about is when my girl asks me if had smoked again.
Other than that i don't have to lie.

i have encountered so many plastic people around. Sometimes i play back in the same manner, but i don't really like that approach. I just tell them directly what's their purpose of doing such. If they still acquire bad attitude, and that's the time i will cut any connections between us.

I am very careful with liars. I have one officemate who victimized me many times of her lies. I never thought at first that she is a liar because she is so vocal about her being a Christian. One day, in a meeting i heard her tell a lie and i cannot believe it that i was not able to react. I felt so disappointed of her because after that, more lies came after the other that my disappointment has now turned to anger. She is also fond of putting words into other people's mouth.
I have read from the bible, in Revelations that lying is like stealing. I am so angry because, if she is a Christian, why does she keeps on lying. I have been her victim not only once but many times already. I have lost trust in her and i am very careful in my dealings with her. From the time i discovered that she is a liar, i have limited my interaction with her to purely official transactions only. I also make sure that i have a proof of every transaction i made with her.

I really hate it when i found out that a friend lied to me. On the first place, she could have been honest of something because i know nobody's perfect.

This is quite tricky as it depends on the lies the other person has been saying. Small lies such as your friend saying you look nice in a coat that you clearly like but they honestly think is aweful, is the kind of lie thats reasonably ok. After all they don't want to hurt your feelings. But if they were telling you big lies then thats not ok at all. So how you handle it will really depend on what they lied about. So what were the lies?

shellster..It depends on what the relationship is as to how I handle them. If it's someone I will have contact with, whether I like it or not, I just am careful when to trust and believe them again. If it's a casual acquaintance, I usually just do not get closer to them.
