roxy,
i can see how frustrating this person would be, you do not know when and what to trust as it comes out of her mouth. just a thought, a person who does make up things or say them only after they hear of them somewhere else must be pitifully insecure inside. also, this person may have had an abuser who messed with her mind so much that she was never sure of what was and was not truth. i had abusers who demanded conflicting behaviors from me - at the same time!!!! b****s!!!!! it put me into such painful confusion and insecurity and misery. i did not cope by "copycatting" things. i don't remember much at all except learning to do the impossible on a moments notice while not crying and it was sheer hell. sorry if that is too much info.
i guess i am urging you to seek a balance with her if you can, where you give her the benefit of the doubt unless you are absolutely sure she is lying and then maybe gently confront her - sadly all of us broken people are pretty hard on friendships. it is not that we want to, or mean to be difficult, but we are hurt and "hurt people, hurt people"! i hope you can find your way through the maze!
leslie and the pixies
