I told her I wish her well but just not around me anymore.
The author also shared what, from her perspective, lies at the core of true friendship.
The two pillars of friendship are honesty and being there when life gets hard, she said.
Honesty even when youre in the wrong and need a slap in the face.
And real friends stick around you through thick and thin, not just when the goings easy.
Theyll celebrate your big wins and have your back when things are tough.
However, true friendship also means that you and your pal respect eachotherenough to be open and honest.
The other person needs to know how their behavior affects you and makes you feel.
There needs to be clarity for everyone if theres any hope of the friendship lasting.
Thats a part of life.
But theyre not mind-readers.
And most of these lies were little white lies that werent of much consequence.
And an absolute minority of people (just 1%) seldom lied at all.
Around a fifth of people (21%)liedto avoid others.
Slightly fewer (20%) told lies as jokes.
Its not easy being around someone who has a very fluid relationship with the truth.
Someone who constantly lies can introduce a lot of stress into your life.
Their lies might have some elements of the truth in them, but its not clear which ones.
Pathological liars, on the other hand, tend to lie so you can manipulate the people around them.
In some cases, they might not even realize theyre doing it.
Heres how they reacted to her story
Thanks!
