Lying?
I need some advice. I think one of my best friends may be a compulsive liar.
Me and another friend have been talking about it tonight for the first time, having discovered we'd both been thinking it separately but were too afraid of seeming like a bad friend to mention it to the other. We're both really worried about her. She tells us things, seeming completely genuine but that we later find out, or believe to be untrue. Some of the things are little things that don't really matter. But a recent example is she said a friend had died, when he definitly hadn't, of course its possible that she was mislead but it doesn't seem that likely, she has also said things about being adopted, which I am also certain is not true as well as a range of other big and little lies.
We hate the feeling that we can't trust what she tells us, as a group of three we are very close, and obviously when its a big serious thing we can't say that we doubt her because if it then turned out to be true we would feel so horrible and would have really hurt her.
We know that we need to talk to her about it, but have no idea how to approach it, except that we need to focus on that we are confused about some things and worried about her rather than accusing her of lying.
Does anybody have any experience with this or can offer me any advice at all? Any advice or support would be very much appreciated, we are feeling rather alone and uncertain about all of this.
Thank-you
