I come right out and ask them because its better to now know that later when it would hurt you don't be afraid just go right ahead and ask when you and the person alone ask them to there face look them right in the eyes and ask Good luck.

Great topic!\n\nI am amazed that there are so many adults who do not consider some of the things they say or do not say, as a lie. For instance: sometimes people make up stories and tell it for fun. It may be a hunting story, fishing story, etc. This is done as a fantasy. The important thing to remember is that if you tell the story...you and the others must identify it is not really true....or it is a lie. Another example of a lie people do not always admit as lying is...when someone states something they think is true and then discover later that it is not true. The person really should then rectify the situation and admit they said something and found out it was not the truth. When a purposeful untruth is told, it is an outright lie. It is meant to deceive. This leads to disappointing others, others never really belive you and they eventually stop trusting you.  Then the time may come and you may be telling the truth...but too late...others don't believe you even when you do tell the truth. Some people actually believe that the only way a lie is told is in that manner. Not true! You can lie with your actions. You may cause a person to believe something not true by acting a certain way. (Example; child breaks a vase and throws it out and pretends not to know anything about it.) A lie can be done by being silent. You may cause someone to believe something by saying nothing. (Example: a mother asks the children who broke a window, and all the children know, but no-one tellls anything).The cycle of lying usually continues when one lies. The next thing one knows is they lie to cover another lie and so on. Most intelligent people, know when someone is lying to them. It doesn't change anything...except the credibility of the one who lies. Another form of lying is not telling a complete truth. Any form of not telling a complete truth or an admission of a complete truth in words or actions is a lie. \nI honestly do not intentionally lie. However, about two weeks ago we had company and this person asked me something and I did not want to go into it so I lied. When the company left. my husband said to me ..."why did you lie?" I reallly had to stop and think about it. I am a woman of value. I work hard to practice what I believe in. I am an honest person. I try hard to use tact and not lie. I usually would reply to someone who asked a personal question that I did not feel like answering with something like...why do you ask? I usually try to find an answer that will not offend the other person, but will also allow me to keep my personal life personal without lying. Sometimes, I like everyone find myself in a place I don't like to be. I feel dirty or shamed when I do that. Long story short...I felt guilty and called the person up and explained it. No one is perfect. There is not a sole alive who has not told a lie at one time or another. I can honestly say I do not lie on a daily basis, but sometimes I do find myself bordering the ethical line. I want people to trust me, I strive to be honest and keep integrity....but it is a daily struggle to be in tune with complete and open honesty!

If you are telling the truth, stick to it.  You're friend may not believe you, and it may even cost you your friendship with him/her, but hopefully your friend will eventually see that you are telling the truth.  The truth shall set you free.

It would depend to me based on who was accusing me, if they weer spreading rumors, and what their relationship meant to me.  \n\nIf it's someone you don't care for, I'd say ignore and cut ties, since they can't be trusted.  If it's a group of people, you're better off not socializing with people that spread false rumors.\n\nIf it's someone closer, and it could be a misunderstanding, I would confront them, one on one.  If they ddeny, just walk away.  But if they apologize, give an explanation, you could probably still have a friendship, but I'd say keep your guard up, don't trust too quickly.\n\nLike I said, it really depends on how close you are to a person.  If they're not that close, cut ties, but if they are close, and least ask for an explanation, the rest is up to you.

You should ask him directly something you know he will lie about and you have proofs about the lie. I dont think you necessarily should do it in front someone else, but tell the liar next time you catch him lying there you will tell relatives and friends about his behavour and spread all around that he is not reliable.

If there was absolute proof he was lying, i would confront him about it.... If there is one thing in a relationship I cannot stand is someone who is not honest...  No one deserves to be lied to.

Always tell the truth. The truth shall set you free. Honesty is the best. People that lies will get cought sooner or later. They only get by with it for a while.

They will avert their eyes or fidget, They will also have to spend longer thinking about a lie and either provide too much detail of non at all.\nThe best thing to do is to observe them and the way they act while you know they are not lying. Then when they do lie it will be obvious to you.

Accept the fact that you have a liar for a friend or dump the friend. The choice is yours.

If someone tells you they're a liar,than you can't believe them but if they're liars and tell you they're lying than they must be telling you the truth but they can't tell the truth so they must be lying.\nSo the answer is no.

My best friend is an excellent liar, he's lied to me so many times that I reallly don't think that I will ever know just how much he's lied to me.  The good thing is that I know the way he is now so I now know not to trust him immediately.  In the back of my mind there is always the thought that he could be lying to me.  So I simply don't trust him any more.   I don't know if this helped you or not.  If other people see your friend as a liar then it might be true.  Just go with your gut feeling.

1.Confront her with examples of her lies\n2. Confirm your love for her\n3. Tell her you and her father do not want to hear lies only truth\n4. Tell her if she can not tell you the truth about any given subject you would rather her not talk about that subject at all.

JUST TRY TELLING THE TRUTH

There's no real way of getting out of this. Even if you call them up and try to explain the truth, they might just think you're lying. I think you're just gonna have to suck it up and do it. Next time, think befor you answer.

Best way I can think of is this:\n\nRepresenting something to be factual when it is not in order to gain something by doing so.\n\nOr simply, obtaining something under false pretense.
