Truth and Lies: What would you do if in that condition... #1 (permalink) Tue Aug 28, 2007 9:24 am   Truth and Lies: What would you do if in that condition...
 

You and one of your friends, Liar, have to work together on a few projects, but last month Liar lied about why he was late to a group meeting. He told you he was stuck in traffic yet you found out he had overslept. And last week Liar said he didn't finish his part of the project on time because of his part-time job. However you learned he had gone to a party instead of working on the project. Furthermore, few days ago you asked him if he wanted to play basketball with you, and he said he couldn't because he had to study. But then you found out Liar was lying to you again, he actually went out with his girlfriend instead.

What would you do after being fool again and again?

I'll say a few words that should be said by a good friend. If he doesn't, I'll go away from him.

If my friend tells lies for no reason whatever and does it on numerous occasions the best solution in my case is severing a friendship. Crying or Very sad

Obviously his heart is not into the project. If the situation allows you to let go of him, it would probably be a wise thing to do.

And the girlfriend over basketball thingy, well, even I can understand that.

He has trouble focussing, which is a common problem among teenagers. Lying is the easiest way for him to get away with it.

Yell or box him if you must, but don't be quick to end a friendship, you might need him one day.

So should I pretend I don't know at all?

He is a man of no responsibility. If I were you I would stop cooperation with him.

few days ago you asked him if he wanted to play basketball with you, and he said he couldn't because he had to study. But then you found out Liar was lying to you again, he actually went out with his girlfriend instead.

Maybe he just doesn't hope you know too much about his private life.

Generally speaking, I don't think he is the one that could be called a friend.At least to me.

Nobody can tell you what to do , Edison. Maybe you should consider prioritizing, the work or your relationship with your friend. If the deal is to complete the work, then by all means get it done, with or without him. That was what I did back then when I was your age (yes, I am that old), dealing with lazy group members.

Anger is okay when it's reasonable enough. Perhaps, you need to understand him a lot more than ever. Anger might not be a good response. When you get angry, you gain more cholesterols (don't know Rolling Eyes ). Laughing

If anger were good for health, doctors wouldn't recommend you to get moderate in everything. Rolling Eyes
