We cannot deny that everyone told some lies in their life regardless of the intention. Sometimes lying can help people or avoid conflict. However won't you feel annoyed when someone accused you of lying even though you did not lie?
It happens to me recently that my dad's girlfriend indirectly accused me of lying and she told me that she would get really angry when I do that. The problem is I did not lie about anything. Yet I could not question her or argue with her as she is rather psycho and she never listen to a single word other have to say.
How bout you? How would you feel and what will you do when someone accused you of telling lies?

of couse mad!that's the normal reaction especially if you are really telling the truth.But the best thing I think must be done is to have a peaceful and calm conversation.Try to give your explanation and if they still don't believe then it's not your problem anymore.

i think i would persuade her t listen to me first, like give me at least chance to tell you everything and then hoping that she would listen. If not i would still ask her why would she accuse me and explain again why. If she still worry or accuse me ten i will just leave it like that. People who does not want to listen to anyone`s opinion is a kind of people who is hard to deal with

In this case I would just say, "believe it or not, your choice." Don't bother to defend yourself. Then if you get proof down the line you can say to yourself I told you so. Don't say that out loud unless you want more trouble.

I actually ignore them. Because the fact that they suddenly accused you of lying means that they are no-good, judgmental and immature people. A truly mature person will try to hear both sides - both the side of being accused and the one who accused it. And from hearing both sides, only then that he/she can judge who is really lying. Through hearing both sides, there can also be an opportunity to assess whether there have only been misunderstandings in the statements given, leading to the accusation of the lie.

When that happened to me, I used to always tell people that I didn't lie, always defend myself. Until I learned that age-old adage, that those people who truly care for me will never need an explanation and those who do usually do not matter. Less talk, less mistakes. I let them do all the accusing, i will only say this once "Prove it." and that's it. They will never hear anything from me again. Of course the accuser will never stop, until people began to doubt her words and see with their own eyes who is capable of weaving lies.
