Relate him/her with that place you're going. Like I'm going near X, there is a pastry shop near X. Do you want me to bring some for you?

It sounds like it could be time to sit down and talk with them about why do they think you are lying and why do they not trust you.

Well, you could use an app called Life 360 that connects your family to your location to slow then that you aren't lying, or you could talk to them about how you really aren't lying or try to gauge out why they think you are lying and work on those areas instead :) I hope this helped ^^

Talk to them with the truth, ask them why they think you are lying. Keep being truthful and they will understand.

Try and have a conversation with them as to why they don't trust you. Also, you could give them the phone number of where you are going and/agree a to be back and stick to that time.

Try to talk to them about why they feel that way. Have you done something unintentionally which in turn made your family think of you that way? Talking about it first always helps. If it doesn't work, take them along with you to prove it.

Parent trust is a big issue one thing you could do is have some one they trust go with you and pick you up. Also some phones have the choice were you can let them see where you are for a limited time. Hope this helps

If you can invite them to come with you, do! If it's not cool for your family member to come along try bringing them back something from there or talking to them about it in a friendly way. Be careful not to seem passive aggressive and try to understand they are probably looking out for you.
Can anxiety cause me to feel depressed?

The Facebook "Seen" message gives me a lot of anxiety! When I see that the person has "seen" the message, but does not reply, I start thinking about all the possible reasons why they would 'ignore' me... Does anyone else feel this? If so, how do you cope?
