a lieing friend

[oopsy's]

ok so i cut myself and my friend was trying to help me stop and we were just talking about random stuff when all of a sudden he told me that one of his best mates had died the day before by cutting himself so obviously i was really sad for him wen i found out about 2 days later he had lied about it which i thought was just wrong and a horrible thing to make up but i didnt tell him i knew the truth and i kept asking him questions to see if he cracked under pressure when all of a sudden he just turned around and told me to fuck off and that he didnt care about me cutting anymore and i was just like ok thats fine but i found out that hes lied to me about lots of other things and i dont know whether to confront him or just forget about it all and make up with him??? what do you think i should do?

I think that was very foolish of him to do that. But, I don't think he meant it in any wrong way. It was probably in the heat of the moment, he was trying to motivate you, so you will stop cutting. He just didn't realize the consequences of what he did. I think you should talk to him about it. Especially now that you say he is a constant liar. Friends do not lie or keep secrets from each other, so you need to talk to him. It isn't being a bad friend by confronting him. Friendships are built out of honesty. You need to be honest with each other, in order to be good friends. I'm sure that you guys will remain friends.

He lied to you. How do you feel about that? Friends should not lie to you. That's why they're friends, they tell you the truth. Honestly, I would confront him why he would lie. There's no reason to do such a thing. I would ask him straight up, why lie to your face like that, then take an attitude and tell you to fuck off? It's not right.
