Calling all Liars....

"Well, it's all over now but the cryin'
I keep on payin' the price for my lyin'
Don't let it get you down it ain't nothin' new
You ain't the only one that it's happened to"

ZZ Top - "It's Only Love"

Your logic is not acceptable to me. Liars need to own up to their responsibilities. Destroying someone else's life because they "feel like" lying is reprehensible.

Being lied to for years must be hard. I wonder why they lied. People rarely lie just for the heck of it.

As for health care staff, I take for granted that they lie and do worse things. I've seen a lot.

We need to make concessions in life for flawed individuals in my opinion xenko. Self protection is just as much about evading...as it is about deciding which battles are worth fighting

A great deal of pessimism. What shame.

I admit, I have lied. I have lied to save myself from emotional and physical harm. I am guilty of lying by omission. I have lied to save the feelings of others.

But I have been brutally honest too. And that seems to get me in trouble when the better option was to perhaps have lied instead.

I make no "concessions" for the flawed individuals who lied AND CONTINUE TO LIE TO ME!!!

These people are not just flawed. They are well aware of how much they hurt me but they don't have to live with me and did not have to actually experience the pain I went through and continue to go through. they easily went on about their lives after USING ME and LYING TO ME.

The liars have made excuses for themselves but no one has done anything to help me. I have to live with the repercussions of THEIR LIES.

THESE ARE CRUEL PEOPLE I'M TALKING ABOUT. this was not just a white lie, nor was it one lie, nor was it just told on one day.....the lies were abominable.

If these untruths in someway effect your livelihood or health...or your standing among peers/society...then you could very well sue for libel. However, Even though it is hard...I find in these situations it is in ones best interest to rise above and move on.

everybody lies sometimes, even you

I didn't hurt anyone and the liars make me want to lie even more.

George Washington never told a lie.

I think as a whole men tend to lie more than women, excluding George of course.

show me someone who says they are not a liar, and i will doubt them.

so, two guys are out fishing, and one says to the other:
"all fishermen are liars, except me and you;
and sometimes i doubt you."

So what are you doing about it? You seem to want validation from us - which isn't a bad thing. Venting can be so very therapeutic. But what have you done to deal with this and react? Have you told these people you caught them in lies? Have you told them you haven't appreciated the dishonesty?

Again, evaluate the dishonesty and what was intended by it. Is it possible they thought doing so was of benefit (did they think in the grand picture that they might have been helping you?). Or were these lies intended to hurt you.

I suppose what it has come down to is that you need to look at your circle of friends and (if these lies were intended to damage and hurt you) cull them and walk away.

It is really important that you inform your doctor of this. S/he needs to know that you are convinced everyone is persecuting you. They will have their own ideas regarding this.

Again...not everyone lies. Blanket statements about everyone in the world are impossible to make.

The important thing to remember and take note of, here, is that you should stick by your own convictions even when you're a victim. Don't tell yourself that just because someone else did something to you, that doesn't mean that it's okay for you to behave the same way....you'll just end up hurting your own self if you do.

Once trust is gone though...it's gone. You need to not expect that you can get it back one hundred percent.

When you've healed a little bit, try to work on forgiveness. Otherwise you'll end up more hurt than you are right now.

eta: I need to not read anymore of this thread as I'm finding it extremely triggering...So.....

Have faith people. Especially you, Xenko

Hi,

I think there is a problem when so many people lie to you.
Is it possible that you don't want to admit to something you dislike about yourself?
