You can't. Unless that person changes. The best predicter of future behavior is past behavior. when nothing changes, nothing changes.

Trusting yourself is the most primary thing to do. Only when we trust in ourselves can we have the power to trust others. Distrust and being skeptical of a person arises due to fear that we are not strong enough. We are scared that the person may lie again and hurt us. Imagine, if we never had any strings attached to a person, if we didn't depend on them, would it really matter what tale the person was telling us or others?

Its hard but you need to have them regain trust. If they constantly lie then it's hard rebuild trust but it could be possible.

Its tough to trust those who have lied. My advice would be for you to always ask for proof in what they say. For example, if they say they have tickets to a ball game ask to see them in person. Otherwise assume that they are not being truthful.

It is a very hard thing to do. I have dealt with a similar issue and the best action to take on is to restart from the very beginning to make everything right an okay.

Once they have lied several times, Its hard to trust someone again. Confidence and effort would be the answer and spending more time with the person will build the relationship and hopes to trust again.

Having them prove to you that they can be again. Example: if you tell them something no one else knows and they keep it to themselves and with you. That is one step closer to earning your trust back.

it is hard to do but you have to keep believing they will stop and tell them telling the truth even if it is bad is better then telling a lie a lie will only make it even worse

Personally, I wouldn't. If they lied once, they'll do it again. But that's just me. Trust issues...

It's very hard to trust someone who constantly lies, but over time maybe that person can prove themselves and show they can change

You don't have to, you can still be friends, but just be aware of the past, don't put them in a situation to lie, or... tell them you feel you cannot trust them because they lie so often, and that you are not sure where to go from here, see what they have to stay, use your intuition, you will be fine!

Lying is done by a person w/out trust it is done through words ; First I guess understand the trust issues ; make him/her trust you ; then verify through action,consistency and commitment. CONSISTENCY is very difficult.

I would personally find it extremely hard. Trust issues are common especially around those who have consistently lied in the past. Maybe starting afresh could be a positive start.

It's admirable that you have a desire to rebuild trust with a habitual liar and it is undoubtedly hard to do so considering lost trust. Have you thought of seeking professional help? Perhaps with the person who has lied to you? That may be a good first step. Good luck!

Gaining back someones trust isn't easy and may take time. instead of looking for the things they lied about look for the things they tell the truth about. for example: sara- did you clear your place this morning bobby-yes *did clear his place* sara-thank you bobby im proud of you for telling the truth. What sara did is called positive reinforcement, bobby willnow be happy about the compliment and may want to get more by telling the truth more often
