How can I confront my best friend about her lying problem?

She has a poor self image and tries to make everyone think she is better than she feels by creating situations and things that she feels makes her look good.

That is who she is, and you like her for who she is, or you don't. You can't do anything but hurt her feelings and make her think even less of herself if you confront her. If you can't accept her for who she is, lies and all, then slowly distance yourself from her and stop hanging out with her. No need to make an enemy of her and one day she may stop lying and you might be friends again if you don't hurt her now.

I would definitively say something.. Other wise she will just keep on lying. I would ask myself if this is the time of person that you would want to be friends with. I have had something like this happen to me where my best friend kept making up lies about her being pregnant and she said this 9 different times and had "miscarried" each of them without ever going to the doctor and getting a DNC done. Some people just lie to make their selfs look more interesting and make their lives seem less boring. I would think twice about having a friend like this in your life. Hope this helps.

Trying to change her would be difficult. You might be better off without her as a friend.

You should tell her the truth about why you cannot accept her behavior. She probably will react badly, because it will sound like criticism. So you must be prepared to lose her friendship; that's OK, you can get other friends.

Search amazon.com for "How to Win Friends and Influence People for Teen Girls" and buy it, if it's not at the library. This book was inspired by the books written by Dale Carnegie, which I also recommend even though they are old; you can check out Carnegie's books for free at a library.

That book might have good suggestions about handling this problem.

you should just be honest and say "listen, enough of this bulls**t". if shes the one lying then you have the right to freak out on her, and if shes a good friend then she'll understand why your annoyed.my friend used to do it all the time but now he knows he cant get away with it, he just doesnt do it. hope this helps

im sorry to hear that she is making your life miserable. her lying is a sign that she doesn't care about your feelings. i think you should step back and ask yourself if this is the kind of friend you really deserve. wouldn't you rather have a friend that treats you with the same kindness you show her?

Tell her that if she doesn't quit, you're going to quit hanging around her. She is going to just cause problems for you...

Just say stop lying!
