When someone lies to you.... and you know it

[tashamjoy]

Depends on the person and situation nobody likes to be lied to I usually dont things just become different in relationship loss of trust !!

Depending on the situation I either confront them with a tale of someone that did what they had done and tell them that I would never speak to that person again without saying it was them and make them feel what I would do if I found out it was them. That usually stops the person from doing it again. Because I would emphasize how I only respect people who tell the truth.

If I know someone is lying I call them out on it. Ain't no denying it if I already know the truth

I have never been one to deal well with liars. I would confront them and ask why they feel they need to lie to you. Letting them know you don't tolerate liars is important!

Yeah, I'd have to stop meeting with someone socially if they lied to me. I don't care what comes out of someones mouth but please don't lie to me. I say to my kids, what's worse that what you've already done, and I expect them to reply "to lie about it". My eldest son learnt that in first grade when in his first week of school, he got 3 red cards! I asked him how his day went and he said it went well. The week after I went to Parent Teachers Conference and was horrified when she told me he'd managed to get 3 red cards in his first week (he was only at school 3 days in his first week - that made it all the more embarrassing). If you have someone lieing to you and they don't fess up, theres even no point discussing the situation with them because the discussion is pointless.

Depends on the situation-- if it is in the workplace and job related, confrontation is a necessity.  If the lie is of a personal nature, I usually ignore it unless there would be negative outcomes to someone else by not correcting the misinformation.
