You know the person with whom you are talking to is lying. Do you confront them or let them continue?
Well I am pretty sure that everyone in the world has told a lie or two in their day. Simple white lies aren’t the end of the world. It’s when someone continually makes lies up in their head to the point that they believe it is true, that is the problem. It’s even more of a problem when the person they are talking to knows that it is a lie. The question is never do you confront them, but when. If I know someone is lying right off the bat, I am going to let them dig themselves into a hole. One where I can make sure they feel terrible about when it’s time to make it known. Does that make me a bad person? Not at all. Karma is a bitch and if you are going to lie to my face then I am going to make you feel bad down the road. Sometimes I am too trusting of people, maybe that’s how I was raised to be. To give everyone a chance and sometimes a second one if I think that it is deserved. But after that, there really is no use. If you can continually lie to someone then you don’t care about them, then why would you want to keep around people that aren’t going to make you better? People that drag you down with lies and shitty attitudes.
But to answer the prompt, I wait when I know someone is lying, I wait until the perfect moment when I can crush them and everything that they have told me. Don’t mistake my politeness for weakness, because it can change very quickly if I know what’s up.
