compulsive liar friend

[sararockford]

this friend has lied to me on a number of occasions...the last big lie was ridiculous and i found out. i haven't confronted on him yet and i don't want to confront him anymore. it doesn't do any good. i am not in a situation where i can completely cut this person out of my life since he is a work colleague, but i don't want to see him socially. he keeps calling to go out and i don't know what to do. i can only make so many excuses before it becomes apparent that i don't want to be around him...which will only put a strain on the work....what to do....

Dont worry my best friend is a compulsive lier and i have to go throuhgh the exact same nonsense.I've learned to just cope with it and ignore that non sense.Because all they ever do is take a lot of offense to it when u get them at something.I know it sucks but ive tried to confront him a couple of times and he got mad.So i just let him get away with it now.But maybe i should keep confronting him but iono.Im just as lost as you are

Years ago, I had a friend who did this. Finally, I went to him and told him to stop B.S.ing me, but in and joking manner and so no one else knew I was on to him. He stopped and we actually became better friends.
