Perhaps you could try by saying you are going to do something, (assisting them in some way) keep your word and show them you meant what you said, therefore when it comes to trusting your whereabouts they will be more at ease.

Before you go to where you are going, tell them you are leaving. When you get to your destination, text them and send them a picture of you being there! When you leave, text them that you are heading home. When you arrive, tell you you’re back!

Try reassuring them and ask them why they're concerned. If you ask them they might have some assumption that you can clear up with them.

My mum used to think I was lying about where I was going all the time and sometimes she still does, I guess its a mum thing! To prove to her that I wasn't, when she suspected it of me the most I would ring her when I was gone or text her pictures of me at the place, like a casual selfie here or there. It definitely put her in her place and gave her more trust in me

Send him a Picture of the place, if he see you there he cant say anything against it. Tell him that you arent a liar

If you are not lying than I would not worry about it too much. The truth will reveal itself at some point and even if it doesn't, you know the truth so who care what they believe.

Perhaps you could turn your location or something on to where they can see where you're going, or maybe you can just take pictures to prove to them that you are actually going where you say you are going.

Explain to your family member that you are an honest person and you have no reason to lie. If you have a history of lying maybe you should find a way to prove to them that you are in fact telling the truth.

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?
