Maybe DBT therapy especially the section on INTERPERSONAL EFFECTIVENESS would be helpful for you.

I lived with a H who wiukd white lie ehen he got into diffucult positions. Only problem I kept shooting diwn his white lie excuses.

Honestly it becomes annoying fir the people around when they really realize this is tje way yiu handle things.

My ex just let the house we own go into foreclosure. His reasoning was that he JUST FORGOT to make a years worth if payments because he didnt have his meds (supposedly just fir adukt ADD). We all know uts a lie but no one has confronted him about where the money is if he "just forgot" to pay. It should be there to catch up. What we all KNOW is that he frequents a local casino.

Lues that are told one may think they are gettkng away with but the people around usually catch on & end up just humoring the person knowing all along its just a lie.....or they start not believing anything that the person says....definitely dont want to get to that point.

It is best to use the worksheets from something like the interpersonal effectiveness & learn apporopriate skills to exopress your needs & wants to others & also learn how to say NO to things you dont want to do. Mych better to practice these skills until they become second nature....will serve you much better throughout yiur life & much better than getting to the point after being caught in lies that peoplw dont trust that you aren't lying about everything because the mor lies people catch you in the more they will think that is what you do (even if it isn't)
