Question

i need some help one of my friends lies about everything. recently she has told us shes got cancer, though when i saw her mum and asked how she was coping with the news it ws the first she heard about it, then she said her dad is paul o grady and she was adopted at birth. she has apparently had 3 miscarriages which isnt true . we know because her boyfriend said the day she supposidly had the miscarriage they were away on a dirty wkend. i want to help her but shes making it hard. any advice anyone 10 points for best answer

Answer 1

Anyone who lies like this is not a friend. She is incapable of that kind of connection. She has very serious problems and you can't help her so don't even try. You'll only be conned by her repeatedly. I would advise distancing yourself.

Answer 2

Any complusive liar needs to be dealt with. Unfortinatly you should start to ignore her with everything she says. It wont be long before they hurt someone for lying about something. The only way is to treat her harshley. Its justified because liars cannot be trusted.

Answer 3

I would cut this friend off. Soon she will be dragging you into her lies to other people. People like that just don't change, you can't make anybody change.

Answer 4

I have only one bit of advice from personal experience...get a new friend...my good mate was like that...he was the manager of my band years ago, promised me names, contacts, new guitars (that didnt even exist) gigs at clubs that didnt exist etc etc...trust me, it will only get worse, in the end they will really make you look a fool, or really let you down in a way that cant just be apologised for..move on...you have been warned!
