Yes, Talking about "That Friend."
"She will most likely try to come between you and your squad with her consistent, hurtful lies. She thrives off drama and bringing other people down." - Alexa Melladro
5 Takes & Truths: Habitual Lying via Your Best 'Bad' Girlfriend
1. Trust your Intuition aka Trust your Gut:
Give that voice inside your head some credit. If things aren't adding up and don't seem right, they probably aren't. She spreads some lies here. Some over here. She's lying about her lies. Because Lies.
2. She avoids eye contact as she is sharing something important:
Clearly an obvious that can be counted on. If she can't look you in the eye, she's lying & feeling the pressure.
3. Repeating stories with different facts &/or recalls shared experiences to others that has lies as if you don't know the truth:
Pinned as a total liar with a habit of not being able to keep her story straight. If she's lying to others, she is lying to you. Correct every lie as it is delivered to make it clear you're not about that life.
4. Finds sneaky ways to make friends with your friends that doesn't include you:
True friends will hold allegiance and refuse to fall for any mean girl attempts to lie or sucker her way in. Friend hoe-ing with strategies like sucking up, pit friends against you and campaign for her side, and lie, lie, with more lies.
5. She runs at the mouth behind your back and denies any/all of it to your face:
Generally there's going to be some truth to the "grapevine" when it is actual friends bringing you the 411. Add that with the times you have been on the receiving end of her talking smack about others, you know she is not above doing it with you as her main toxic topic.
But She is Supposed to be My Ride & Die..DIE!!
Girls can form a strong bond and taking the burns for your close girlfriends may seem worth it at the time. The lies may be here and there, while being most everywhere, but the fun times and the hilarious moments you've shared hold more value. She's probably had your mascara all over her shoulder and named off all the reasons you're better off without that loser.
Your girlfriend may even be the holder of some deep dark secrets that could really make for messes.
Ultimately, it is up to you to decide on how many slaps you're willing to allow her before you eventually end up dumping her later anyways. The web of lies and depths of their madness will weigh on your emotions. The more you're bonded with someone, the more painful the betrayals and deceptions.
Do Yourself a Favor & Favor Yourself
Evaluate your friendships. Weigh it out with:
Love,
Alison
P.S. If you're going through it..
Letting go of a friend, Especially with history, is going to be tough & hurt. Nights of tears and lonely days, missing the good times.
Knowing the breakup is by choice and can be undone, like that, is tons of pressure to have on you. Just like with boyfriends, it does eventually get easier.
Days pass and then, weeks. Next thing you know, you're not crawling across the floor while in sobs crying out to your mom that you can't take it.
A new connection or deeper bond that takes your attention, fills a void, &/or gives you enough of what you need to not have a need for a friendship you know is toxic to your life.
You finally have your heart in check with your mind.
