ok if you lied about something and someone knew you were lying even if
you really didnt know them would you honestly hate the person or would
you forgive them and try and be friends again or would you just wipe
them clean and never talk to them again. I made this mistake and i'm
actually hating myself for it.

I honestly don't know, JP..I have never been in a situation like that..

I do know that I would be hurt and disappointed if a friend did that to
me, though..

Sorry I can't offer more advice..

I met a person online about 5 years ago and he told me so many lies,
like he played for the cardinals, and he had 2 Harley's. Well I KNEW he
was lying, so I called him on it and he felt so bad but they were such
silly lies that we still laugh about it today! I still give him a hard
time about it cuz it was funny then and its still funny. Hope your new
friend can forgive and laugh about your unfounded insecurities that
produced the lie to begin with. Good luck!

If I was dishonest with someone I would take responsibility for the
choice I made and make amends to that person, They might not accept my
apology, but I would do it as I know it would be the right thing to do,
It isnt always easy taking responsibility for some of the poor choices
we make but I think we grow as people when we do. Learn from your
mistakes and let go of the guilt.

Honesty is a very important word to live by in this world . To lead
others on by telling them a lie is very wrong. For to cover up that lie
yu must tell yet anohter lie. Myself first you must thinks of why you
did it was it right or wrong. The pain that was caused. Now was it
really worth it all. For if ohters find out now that you have lied to
them and it did really upset them. Ya know what it is very hard to trust
a person that you gave your trust without a doubt for them to find out
they have your trust was thown aside.


Once you decide if you were right or wrong then it is up to you to make
things right

I think the important thing is not to let it eat you up inside. Letting
go of hate is a big healer.

I would apologize and move on from there. Life's too short to hold onto
anger.

If you can't correct the situation.


All you can do is move on right?


As far as myself, it depends on the situation.


I don't hate anyone.

But I may not speak with them , for various reasons anymore.

Jp, if it is an offense you are truly sorry for, appologize and make it
a point never to repeat it. Live and learn. We all screw up....well, not
me personally, but......laugh laugh
