People that lie, all the time to cover their tracks

I hate to hear people lie to me and it is a lie that they know they will be caught out from sooner or later, but they still do it. I hate knowing that a person has lied to me and that they are also doing the same to others. People who they say that they have not seen and do not talk to, yet you know that they talk to the person still, also they talk about the things that are going on with you to that person who you really hate for what ever reason.

People with this character cannot be changed unless they wanted to change themselves , so the best way is avoid these people is by ignore them once they had lied to you. by avoiding them , you may feel that you are doing a bit over but you will find it to be happier and much more freedom than staying around with this cheaters. They are the person that cannot be trusted, so they have no use in our life and we must avoid them to avoid some problems in the future. Take care

I tend not to trust a person that has lied to me in the past, as like you say people like this do not ever change and that also makes a trust go as well. I have been on guard in the past knowing that a few people have lied to me and I made myself a promise, never to trust what ever a person tells you, as that way you will never be angry when they lie. Even a few close friends and people that I have known years have told lies to me and I will say that one of them has ruined my marriage, but at the same time has shown every one her true colours and that she is not to be trusted either, not even with their partners.

That is true, they do tend to lose our trust once they've lied.

I try to avoid people like that, but even the people that we have known a long time, can all of a sudden lie to cover their own backs, this has happened to me lots of times in the past and once they have lied you never trust them ever again, with what ever they say.

A lie is a lie is a lie! I can't stand for anybody to lie to me no matter what the reason is EXCEPT if it's for something of a surprise. My way of thinking is this, if I can't tell the truth then I'm not going to say anything at all and that's the way it should be with everybody but unfortunetly it's not. I'll confront the person if and when they lie to me and I know it because I can't stand a liar!

I do not also mind if it is a surprise why they are telling lies, or trying to cover their tracks, but other than that I do mind. I feel that it is easier if people tell the truth all the time, rather than lie and then try to hide the lie or lies up that they are saying. I feel that there are always the same people that lie, as well as they also think that they can get away with the lies.

I hate lying. I feel so guilty when i do it i end up snitching on myself. I have a really hard time understanding why people lie and it really bothers me when i find out i've been lied to!

I could never really lie to a person, as I would hate to be caught out, as well as I would feel guilty of that lie. I hate to hear people lie and think that they will get away with it and then they try to cover over that lie, well they try to hide that lie.

I feel the same way. I guess sometimes theres forgiveable lies. For example: My boyfriend let me believe he was at work the other day. now he never said that's where he was. However he was at home planning the sweetest surprise for me. He apologized later for never correcting my have a good day at work and his mhmming me when i said it.

If it is a lie like that, then you really do not mind, like you say he was doing something nice for you, so really he had no choice, but other things that people lie about when there is really no need crazes me.

I did lie quite a few times. But the object was to avoid certain situations that were unpleasant to me or may have made others unhappy. Generally, fear prompts people to lie. Over a period it becomes habit. And I did lie a few times at the job because the job demanded it... Now ...if your best friend turns up at your doorstep in a new dress which does not suit her as much as one of her other dresses and tell you she has spent her whole month's earnings on it...would you have the heart to say ...hey, it is not as good as that other one...or would you just say it is nice...:) So we all lie in some way...I think. :)

I maybe tempted to say that I prefered her in another dress that she had, rather than saying I did not like the dress, lol. Some lies to me seem to be pointless as these people that tell lies to you about other people tend to get caught out. I feel that there are people that say they are ok when really they are not, but that is as they do not want to explain to others things that are private that they do not want others to know about, which that I can understand.

Yes...there are little lies everywhere..not everybody is equipped with skills of Dawny...so they use lies to move to the next moment. I am also not equipped with the conversational skills of Dawny.

I think that people that I know that have been caught out telling a lie here and there have not ever been trusted by me again no matter what they are saying. I feel there is no reason why a friend, or family should ever lie to a person, as that is when all the trust has been broken no matter what the lie is or the reason to why they felt like they had to lie.

You are right that people like that are not to be trusted. I feel that it is hard enough to trust people, but when they lie, you easily lose all the trust that you had once had in that person and you never really get it all back again.

Don't you just hate these type of people? Most of the time these are the ones that think everything is always ok but yet will accuse you of lying, etc. instead. They always are trying to kiss up to someone especially if it is someone you work with. I just really know in time KARMA will catch up to them, and then they might really start regret all the lies and such they have done.

I also feel that karma catches up with people like this, as in the end no one really trusts what the person has to say. I will say that there are a lot of people that think that they will never get caught telling lies to people about many things, but people end up getting caught more times than they get away with the lie that they tell.

I have known someone like this and it is surprising how they can live b like this. I mean all that comes out of their mouth are b just lies and nothing more. I think these people just are pretenders and wants to hide something about themselves... they could even be like this as they probably have believed their own lies.

I do feel that you are right, that some people really do begin to believe that their lies are the truth, lol, as sad as it is some people will never change. I do feel that some people get in to a habit of telling lies and that is the way that they are. The thing is that people tend to never trust what coimes out of a liars mouth in the end and try to avoid what they are saying. Some people lie to get other peoples attention as well.

hi jugsjugs I dislike that too as I find ty c annot trust that kind of person as they will blab anything you tell them to others. Its' just so stupid as they must know they will get caught out by the one they lied to.I also dislike those who will be sweet otol me but talk mean about m e behind my back.

I feel that these people also can not be trusted either Hatley.I will say that I always watch what I tell people as well, as once bitten by one friend twice shy. I feel that sometimes I try not to talk about the things that are going on in my life, as that way noone knows whats going on, to even talk about me or my family.

I know, I hate it too when people lie to you. I just wish that people would be honest from the start don't they realize that things would be much easier and you wouldn't be so upset about it if they were just honest. I've had so many people lie to me and even people who I thought were my friends and in the end they lied to me about so many things and I found out. And the worse thing is that they lied about stupid stuff. I can never understand why people lie about stupid stuff. Really that what really annoys me even more. I mean what is up with that.

I feel that people that lie to us think we are nieve enough to believe what ever comes out of their mouth no matter what they are saying. I hate it when people do not tell me the truth no matter what it is, but when you hear or see what it was that was their lie and they make all manners og excuses it crazes me and it crazes me that it makes all the trust go with that person that has lied.

We all lie once in awhile, unconsciously or consciously, lol. Reasons are undeniably as a part of helping, denying, protecting, or even caring. Some sort of to destruct, to intimidate, to provoke, or to create misunderstanding. For some, it became such a habit that it simply becomes a part of their personality, lol!

I think for some people it is the way that they chose to live, some liars also try to lead two types of lives, also tell people that they love them or fancy them, where as they really want some thing else. When a liar gets caught out they always try to blame some one else, or change their original story of lies that they were telling.

Yes, i quite agree. Being a pathetic liar surely has its psychological features that is of the mind exuding some sort of a defense mechanism, in itself a reflection of one's egocentric nature, lol! But nevertheless, i think whatever the case maybe, the truth will always prevail.

I knew this particular person at work, he simply likes to lie to everyone on a daily basis. That might sounds like a joke to him, to see people who will believe in him. From time to time, we caught his lie, and we no longer believe in him of whatever he said. So, I just don't understand how people would like to weave a series of lies, is that really fun or don't they know shame?
@jugsjugs (12967)

I think that people like that do not have any shame in telling the lies that they have told and they also think that they will never be confronted no matter who catch them out. I feel better hearing a few truths than one lie no matter if it hurts to tell or to hear the truth.

We all tell small white lies now and then. Everyone does that. What I hate more is a pathological liar, they lie so much they start to believe their own lies. That is bad! I lived with this kind of liar and its the most ridiculous thing ever. No reason to lie, they just do it anyway for whatever reason...

I think that people that constantly lie do it to get other people interested in all they say.Some of the people that must think that we are rather gullable at the things that they come out with. Even when they get caught telling a lie, some people try to get out of the lie that they were telling, but when you have proof they seem to get the hump.

Its like a sickness I think, I have an ex sister in law just like that. You can never trust a word she says.

You are right there.I feel that people that lie, as well as get caught out with their lies are just so stupid thinking that they will never get caught out. It feels like a bit of a struggle to try to be sociable to people like that, no matter how hard you try as all you can see is lies, thats before they have opened their mouth.

Lying is definitely wrong, but people lie for many reasons (which usually is not good, but some do tell white lies to help the situation but messed it up later). If it is from a person who is close, maybe you could try to understand why the person is doing it. If the reason is not damaging, I hope you find it in your heart to forgive the person. If it is damaging, you might want to consider finding a 3rd party to deal with the person and the problem if you want to salvage the relationship.

I just wish that some people were not to even waste their time and mine by telling lies about other people to me, or to others. The lies that people tell are really not worth telling, but all the same they still lie. I think that if they had a reason to lie, or if it was a white lie then that would not be half as bad.
