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

talk to them about how they can help you gain their trust again and tell them how their lies hurt you
