I'm very blunt so I have no problem calling someone out, I find the direct approach works best for me, even if it ruffles feathers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree though, that would be unpleasant. My reaction would depend on who that person is to me...a friend, good friend, relative or just acquaintance, + how often they did it Depending on who they are, I would either make a joke about it or be more careful of what I share or, if just an acquaintance, i g n o r e. I try to be flexible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is not always the case but is a good indicator. (next time you watch a politician on TV see how it looks, one that has not been schooled that is). A person who is lying often glances down and to the left when talking. A person thinking about an answer usually looks up and to the right....... Try it and see.... (as I said, an indicator, no more than that). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will shine the light on the lie and expose it for what it is. Don't allow what someone else does to anger you. When you do, you are actually giving control over you to this person.

I agree completely, you can broach the subject subtly I suppose, but either way it will continue until you do. It is best not to carry around resentment or even anger, these can lead to you stumbling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
