Hello Mylotters, I am surprised about this fellow in my organisation who kept lying with all of us about where he lives on rent.We caught him as someone told us about his actual place where he lives but that guy still denied about it.He confessed it when we call that another fellow who said it on his face the truth.This fellow was really embarrased after that and could not even able to make eye contact with us and from that day he has been speaking less with all of us.But its OK as we all also don't want to speak much to this lier who can make us fool in future also.What do you say are we right? Or is there anything else with which we can treat such a fellow?.Can we start relying him now? What do you say?

Give Him another chance.There is a saying forgive and forget.Maybe he didn't told you for some reasonable reason. We cannot judge a person that easily if we didn't know his side of the story.So give him another change,he might turn out to be a really good person or friend.

LushVelvet I tend to agree with you..and unless there is more info that proves the guy is just a jerk, I too would try to understand why he needs to fool people..

He might have some personal reasons for lying about where he lives. He might be embarrassed about the location, or if he actually lives in a rich area, he just didn't want anyone to know, because then, people who treat him differently, vice versa. While I don't condone people to lie, those who do lie (normally, little white lies), tend to do so because they have their own reasons. I don't randomly tell my colleagues where I live, simply because it's none of their business. I would certainly provide actual address to my employer. When I worked with other people in the past, I kept it professional. I don't even talk about my personal stuff. Hence, I kept to myself and I was fine with it, and so was everybody else. Less drama to deal with it.

Some people are like it...telling lies for even silly incidents or occasions. They purposefully decide not to reveal their personal ethics and living modes. While it is much better to speak the truth in situations which are harmless, such people prefer to keep the others in the dark about their original whereabouts and living conditions.

In that case, i will say nothing about it. The reason why he lies is that maybe he has some resons that he wouldn't let others know, in which case, we c shouldn't ask him about it.Or mybe the person isn't honest to others and in that case we needn't ask him. It makes no sense to check it with him.

Hi SJ That's weird that person was hiding about his house whatever on rent or not. Has he told any reason for this thing? If he hasn't any proper one then surely it is hard to trust on him in future. But yes, its hard to believe on such person, I mean even if he give some valid reason behind it now its hard to believe.

Oh, that's just disgusting, and I would feel bad that I trusted someone and later find out that they were just lying to me all the while. I would avoid the person and just forget about them, so I won't have to feel terrible for long. I would not be able to easily trust him ever again. I would always have doubts. I would not want to deal with these type of people at all, if that were a choice.

sjvg1976 ..Why did he lie about it?? Was he embarrassed where he lived or just didn't want to let anyone know? I think a lot depends on his motives. After all it could just be a personal insecurity and his lie didn't hurt anyone and make him feel more secure about himself. I would try to help him if any of what I guessed turns out to be true. We all have insecurities and need sympathetic understanding..
