Some people make you feel lucky even in the hardest times, while the others tend to talk behind your back and constantly lie.
According to psychologists, liars are found in almost every friendship.
It’s really difficult to deal with liars who ruin your day or play with your feelings.

What Are 4 Ways To Deal With Liars?
1. CHECK YOUR FACTS
Put on your investigator cap and uncover and document all of the pertinent facts (Who, What, When, Where, Why). Facts are crucial when confronting a liar; if you don’t possess objective, hard information, then don’t bother confronting them at all. (They’ll just slither their way out of it.) Oppositely, if you’re diligent about collecting the necessary facts, you can confront the liar with confidence.
At this stage, you know with near-to-absolute certainty that the person lied.
2. KEEP THINGS CIVIL
Once you are in the appropriate environment, calmly state “Something is on my mind and I wanted to discuss it with you.” Afterwards, present your case. “Here’s what I heard” or “Here’s what I know” are possible openers.
Maintain a calm, composed tone at all times. There is no need to escalate things unless absolutely necessary.
3. WATCH THEIR REACTION
Once confronted with hard evidence, liars will do one of three things: deny, admit, or defend. Admitting what they did is the only acceptable solution in all likelihood. Provided that you gathered the facts, maintained your composure, and kept things civil, there is no excuse for the person to act defensive, deny their actions or play dumb.
Provided the person doesn’t get out of hand, you can end the conversation after the next step.
4. SEND A STRONG MESSAGE
Make no mistake about it, you are a victim of someone else’s lying or manipulation. Quashing someone’s propensity to lie about you requires a firm (yet calmly stated) message. Take a few moments after your case is presented to express that you do not appreciate lying from others; that you expect the person to be open and honest, and that you will always do the same.
