Pathological Liars

How do you deal with them. Do you confront their every lie? What if you cannot postively prove it is a lie? Do you take everything as if it is the truth and give them the attention they desire? What are your thoughts. I'm looking for some guidance.

ask them why.. and look them in the eye.. if you know them even a little you will know if there lying.. lol.. i'm probably the best liar u'll ever find.. so i know how to catch em out

The thing is, I can't prove she is lying. Just common sense and logic tells me that she is. All her life, her life has well...sucked. But lately it's just one thing after another, great catastrophe's happen in 5 minutes. Which is impossible. She says she cuts but she won't show me her arms, and she is the kind of person who will show me her arms. Who would probably show everyone of her friends her arms. I don't want to sound like a horrible friend, but I know her, and I know logic, and both just don't seem to mix. So what do you suggest I do about MY feelings on it? I don't think there is much I can do with dealing with her about it.

u'll have to talk to her about it.. and might have to (i'm sorry to say this but..) frighten her a bit to get her to be more co-operative.. ask her why she is making up the lies.. and just keep asking her why all the lies... as long as your determined and don't hesitate once when asking and keep asking "why all the lies" without saying anything else i think u will get an answers...

The question you should be asking is a question to yourself : Why are you bothering wasting so much of your time and energy on someone who doesn't respect you enough to be straight up and honest with you.

My advice is to figure out your OWN reasons, before you even attempt to confront those of others :o)

My reasons are simple. She is my best friend. She is fun and enjoyable to be around. Also, I love to help people, and her life is messed up, even without the lies. And now to see that she lies all the time, I realize she is more messed up than I thought, and I desperatly want to help her. i suppose that does mean I need to confron her. I will think about it. If I could find one situation where I could prove it...I wouldn't have such conflict about it I suppose...

How can you say someone is a friend- let alone a best friend if you can't trust or believe a word they say to you - you're contradicting yourself and the point your making. I understand you care, its natural but how much does she care in return when all she does is lie to you?
Some advice I learnt about "friends" over the years is you can only help people who WANT to be helped, unless she comes to you asking you to help her with her lying problem there's not much you can do. I'm sorry though you'll be in my thoughts and I'll praying you can sort everything out :o)

well, it may seem that i am contradicting myself, but my views on friends seem to be different than yours. she is there for me when i need her. thats all that really matters to me. it takes a lot for me to label someone as "not a friend" everyone is a friend, in my eyes, unless they piss me off. Which doesnt happen often. but you are right, i cant help her unless she wants to be helped. i think im going to bring up a lie, that i have proven as a lie, to her. im just so scared of what might happen. i dont like conflict and with her lies, i dont want to be on her bad side either.
