Yasuandio Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 (edited) What do you do when a friend fibs? (It has been a pattern that I have generally overlooked in a long term [20 yr] friendship). Sometimes it it an insignificant thing, sometimes history has shown a couple significant fibs. But I'm past that, since I said nothing then, it is not fair to say it now. Just now facing a brand new little fib. I dont like dishonesty, personally. This new one is a dumb fib. What's your take? Yas Edited June 18, 2014 by Yasuandio Link to post Share on other sites
Tayla Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 (edited) Usually i consider is it harmful To themselves or others?is it something fabricated to create an alibi? Is it something exaggerated? Those are a few questions i ask to myself before listening any further to the person. Then i clarify what they said and proceed to uncover the false statement. Usually the person backtracks but by then i gently tell them , the friendship is more important then falsehoods. It shows that i value both the person and honesty. What do you deem a white lie? Its always a good idea to confront habits that hinder whether its 2 days or 20 years, this obviously isn't a free pass for them to continue.nip it properly.
