knows someone is in the wrong, yet they go along with all that the person says aswell as do just to keep in with them.Also when they lie to other friends aswell as stir things.These people never see that they are in the wrong and the answer is always the same, like i did not know that.

Hi JugsandJugs, These people annoy me too, I may not always be liked for saying what I feel but I am at least respected for telling the truth. In fact one of my close friends will ring me when she needs an honest answer rather than just to be told what she wants to hear. An example of advice I gave her once was harsh but worked 'you always come to me crying on a Tuesday because you are feeling down about something, what actually is happening here is that you party all weekend probably still only half sober on Monday so Tuesday it hits, so you are then over tired and irritable. Enough of the Tuesday blues yeah cos I am sick of listening to them' Didn't like what I said at the time but knew what I had said was about right and did curb her partying and balanced her pendulum a bit better. I love her to bits so had to tell her straight which is why she loves me too lol. I know the people I can share things with confidentially and the ones I can't now so lessens the chance of stirring. huggles. Ellie :D

Itbeats me too Jugswhy people are like this and iffor any reason I do say something about someone I will tell them that I told whoever whatever so it comes straight from me rather than gets to them in a twisted way as I cannot stand gossip. Alaskanray, yes I think the majority of people would rather you were straight with them no matterwhat the situation, well done you for standing up for what you knew to be right. Thanks also for the br, appreciated. Huggles. Ellie:D

I am the type of person who if i think someone has done something that is really wrong i will tell them, also if they have treated a person or a friend really badly and they were out of order i will tell them.I do not see why some people say one thing to one person or friend yet then tell someone else something totally different.

Most people will appreciate your honesty with them. I had some friends one time who liked to do the five-finger-discount. I told them straight out that if they did it while I was with them, I WOULD turn them in. They were a little taken aback but since I had given them fair warning, they appreciated it and respected me for it. If they can't deal with your honesty, they are not really friends.

Me too, and I live with someone like that.. If it was a friend, then that friendship is short lived, but since it's family that does that to me, at this time I am stuck..

i sympathize with you carmelanirel. sadly these people come from our family and it's not just annoying, embarrassing. especially when people notice that and they mention their disappointments to me, it's really squeezing me down very ashamed. but what can we do. we have to live with them. even if i have to find their reasoning to have some points to consider, i'd rather let it pass so as not to argue with them longer.

I tend to argue the point, especially when I have my son and a couple puppies to consider..

I think that i am the same when i know i am in the right then i will never back down as i think in away that is the only way people do learn.I think that after thinking someone was sort of an honest person aswell it is such a let down to find out that they are not honest or even tell the other person what they honestly think aswell.

Yes, I think we all tend to know people like this. I think that they just want an easy life and just want agreement from everybody, so will tell lies in order to have the agreement and respect for other. However, the problem with this is that they can become caught out and lose respect of others. I guess sometimes it is easier to agree in the short term, but it's not something that is advisable to do all the time. _Derek

In our family, we love to discuss...this is how we call it but people on the outside would think we're arguing lol. We love to agree to disagree on just about anything. Ive seen those people who agree even if you know very well they dont agree. I think they want to keep the peace. Some are afraid of arguing, not wanting to stir things up.

I think there are a few people out there that also do not like being disliked so that is another reason for a person to sgree with two different things aswell as two different people,but i call that people that are two faced.If i do not agree with a person that has done something wrong to someone else them i tell them as i would want to think that if a person disagreed with me then they would at least have the guts to tell me.If i have a problem with what a person has done then i will tell them,as that way they know how i feel aswell as anyone else.

On of the things that annoys me is when a person acts as if he knows everything when in fact he doesn't. I just hate proud people, their words cause ringing to my ears, it is just so irritating. I also get annoyed with lazy people, who still has to be told what to do.

lol...I attended a lecture one time about toxic people in our lives. I know exactly what you mean. These people never learn that honesty is always the best policy and there is nothing left that you can do but distance yourself from them. It gets hard when they are members of your family but the bottom line is that you need to protect yourself. I have found that I don't have to be judgmental of them if I just focus on how they are affecting me rather than what they are doing wrong. My ex husband was like what you describe and I had to divorce him just to survive. It's hard for me because I have one sister who is very toxic to me and if I'm not careful, she will get all offended. Not that she is dishonest, she just sees things her own way and is convinced that she is always in the right. It's hard because when we have family reunions, I get my stomach tied in knots and can't really enjoy them because of her attitude. It's not an easy thing to deal with.

Hi Alaskranray, That toxic people lecture sounds good I am sure I need to detox from some people in my life too. Yes hard when it is family though.

I think that you are right, it is best to stay away from people that are like that as in the end people think that you are the same as they are.I also find that by distancing from them it saves loads of dirt being thrown always as they have nothing too much to say as you never see them.

I think you forgot there statement of "I don't want to be in the middle of this!" Gosh we were just talking about someone like this today!!! They are 'blind' to what someone has told them and won't even listen to anyone elses side, we are all wrong!!!! Also, this is usually family so not a situation of 'lost friend' they are always there. I will say that this is a family member that we don't encourage with news about anything. When it is a friend you can make the decision of if you want to keep the friendship and accept the 'annoyance' or if it is a friendship that you just want to slowly move away from. Best of luck to you.

Yeah, they SAY they don't want to be in the middle but they keep adding fuel to the fire instead of letting it 'die down'!!!! The best to do is to stay out but glad to hear you would stand up and tell the truth if they were wrong. Sometimes though, telling isn't enough you have to PROVE to them how wrong they are!!!! For what I am experiencing right now, I want to tell you THANK YOU for this topic. I especially like the post about 'toxics in our life'..that was good.
@jugsjugs (12967)

I think you are right about that statement that they do say that they do not want to be in the middle of it aswell as say that they do not want to get involved, where as they have already involved themselves.I stay at home alot so i tend not to know what is going on so that way no dirt comes my way either,but if someone said they were in the right about something and i knew they were in the wrong then i would tell them.

"I didn't know" is alive and well. Our cattle mentality is so sad at times; and our wills can be very weak but that does not excuse us from doing bad things. Going along with the flow, even when we know it is not the right thing to do is not very smart; and claiming ignorance of wrong-doing of which we are a party to is certainly no excuse. My biggest concern regarding this behavior is the poor example we set for our children, that is one of my biggest pet peeves.

Hi, jugsjugs. I don't like people that are this way either. When my sister cursed my husband out, my grandmother blamed me for her actions. She fussed at me, like I was the one that did wrong. My aunt knew who did what. She knew that my sister was to blame, she just did not say anything. I don't like when people are like this. They know who EXACTLY is to be blamed, but they put it on other people. My grandmother knew that my sister was the one that did wrong, she just chose to blame me for it. I thought that it was very wrong.

Its the way some people treat other people that also gets my back up aswell,they will say that they would have done the same to a friend of mine yet when they see the other person its like they are saying to them that they would not have done the same as they are not like that.They always have to try to justify what they are saying aswell to both people,sad or what,some people really make me laugh.

if it does'nt include me it's none of my business,i prefer to let people squabble between themselves and me keep out of it,that way i `can't be blamed for the whole SHE SAID THIS,SHE SAID THAT thing,i know a lot of people that stir and purposely lie,coz they find it amusing,i thought it was childish that's why we aren't friends anymore

I agree it can be very annoying. You know how someone feels about something and they are saying the exact opposite to go along with someone else. I can see trying to be noncommital in order not to start an argument. If they are saying the exact opposite of what they feel it is tantamount to lying and that means the friendship should be over!
@jugsjugs (12967)

I get annoyed aswell as sooner or later i am the person who will say something about it.I think that a few people do seem to go along with it as they are what they would say right in the middle of it,but they are the ones that are being really two faced.Like a person who would come here would say something and then say the opposite to another person,contridict or what.

One of the things that annoys me is when a person ask for a favor not just one time, not just two times, but several times that they can't still be able to do it on their own. I am a very helpful person but I don't want to teach others to be abusive.
@jugsjugs (12967)

I think that there are alot of people like that.Also there are alot of people out there that use their children as pawn to get to other peoples hearts aswell.I think that when someone has said something to someone then they should think what is going to happen as a consiquence.

Because they are friends that is why they like to decide in one. I know people like this, like they don't have their own brains. Like because they are doing everything together and they are always together and they are so close, when one decide this is wrong, the two or three will get along. They don't share their opinions. there is one person that stand to be their leader. Me, when I know it is right and quite unfair, I do state my mind, i do not get along. My decision will be useless. And its not that when my friends and me are together, it is not that we have to be always the same like in uniform.

quite a few of my friends and even a couple of my kids are like that. you will tell them and tell them not to go along with something or someone then they pretend like no one warned them ahead of time. so when you feel like telling them i told you so, they will say its not their fault, they didnt know not sure. hope i got your meaning right?

I do not like people who ask my advice,if I say something not like them,they say"I will not say anything to you" It is a kind of cowardice. If someone begins a conversation with serious problems,must accept that I can not cry about the situation,must solutions ,not tears. There is another category of people who add in a story about someone ...many lies. I hate these people
