its about talking it out with them opening up about how you feel or how they made you feel., but its entirely up to you. Whenever you're ready. Remember forgiveness shows strength.

Allow them to prove themselves through their actions. If you can't trust their words, allow them the space and time to prove you either wrong or right in being able to trust them again.

that would be very challenging, trusting someone who has told so many lies, constantly, would be hard to trust anymore. You never know when they are lying or telling the truth, honestly it would be something you'd have to decide how to on your own, because we all have different boundaries and all.

To trust someone who has consistently lied you would have to identify what is causing them to lie as pain and not malice. If this person is someone you care about, remember that under that hurt is the love that attracted you to them. By choosing to open yourself up to be hurt, you will show them that they are worth the risk. By caring enough to do this you can help the person see themselves as you see them. However, this can only be done with the person is ready, if they are not you will only martyr yourself.

Gaining someone's trust back is never easy especially if you were the one lied to. I think you have to consider your relationship and how much you care for that person above the lie. This is not always possible when the lie can cause you a lot of pain but ultimately even if you no longer wish to be con nested with that person forgiveness is the only way to move on. So strive for forgiveness not matter what the circumstance and if you can't find it in your heart to forgive then you must at least try to forget.

You have to slowly build your trust back up again; try speaking with the person about why they lied, and what made them have to lie.

Earning trust back is one of the hardest things in life. The one who lied needs to be completely open about everything they do. That person should let the person they lied to, go through their entire life (social media, phone, etc). It will take much time, but earning trust back can be done.

Be honest with them yourself. Make sure they know what you are feeling and that your trust must be earned. Then hope they think enough of you to earn it.

Trust is a very delicate thing, once broken is extremely hard to get it back again, you might forgive the person but those thoughts won't leave the back of your mind, that can be a very emotional draining experience. I would suggest taking things slowly, giving yourself time to heal and giving the other person time to reflect, it is important that you learn to forgive but also learn from the bad experience and grow wiser.

Once the trust circle has been torn, it is very difficult to make it right again. But not impossible. It is important for you to communicate with the person that has lied to you and come to terms on whether or not both of you are going to choose a path where both of you want this broken trust circle whole again.
