Find a way to prove to them that you are not lying. It hurts when people don't trust you but don't get angry or defensive when they bring the subject up as that won't help gain their trust. Try to keep a cool head when talking about it and be rational. Tell them in detail what you are doing to make it sound as viable as possible. Could you ask them to take part in some way eg drop you off/ pick you up? Or even agree to text or ring them while you are out. Hope this helps.

You should continue to tell them the truth. you could record where you are going to show them later to prove this it is what you are doing, there are also gps tracking apps if they still don't believe you, there are a lot of things to do. As of right now you should sit down with your family member and talk to them about why they think you are lying and you should ask them where it is they think you are going. If they don't believe you even after all that you could change your habit of when you go. you could instead of leaving at night leave in the day.

It sounds like they don't trust you. That must be very frustrating for you to feel like your family doesn't believe what you say. One way to resolve this would be to sit down with your family and initiate a conversation about this. Come from a place love, and be willing to listen to all the reasons why they don't trust you. After you have listened to their reasons, ask them for feedback on how you can build their trust in you again. You will have the opportunity to explain yourself, if you feel they have misunderstood your actions in the past. And you can learn how you deepen your connection and trust with them. They key is to have the conversation from a place of love and openness, and avoid defensiveness.

Find a good time and space to talk to them and explain properly where you are going and why you have decided to go there. Ask them about why they think you are lying, and try to understand where they are coming from. You can also give a reasoned response back to explain the answer to their queories. When you are talking to this family member, try to avoid arguing / shouting / escalating the situation. Instead, talk to them politely and respectfully. Try to understand the situation from their point of view and reassure any concerns that they may have.

When a family member doesn't believe something you have told them the first step is to have a conversation about it with them. Ask the family member what you can do to prove where you are going. Find out by asking the family member why they do not trust what you say and how best you can work together to trust each other. Approach your family member with a motivation to understand why they don't believe you instead of approaching them with anger or pain at not being believed. The end result is to be able to be taken at your word.

Why do they think you are lying? Have you confronted them about how you feel about this in a calm and respectful manner? In a way that they might understand. Does it bother you that they think you are lying? In order to gain clarity one must understand how one feels. Focusing on the issue, gaining clarity, respect, mutual understanding, is the key to most of the issues one might have. To listen is to understand. Have you put yourself in their shoes? Same goes to them. I recommend talking to one of the listeners here at 7 cups if it doesn’t get solved.

Try your best to remain calm with them and express that you are being honest and have no reason or motive to deceive them. Ask why they feel this way and see if, together, you can work through the issue and absence of trust. Remember to try to stay calm and be patient and empathetic towards them, because it sounds like an underlying trust issue or a simple worry. And with that, they themselves might not be aware that that is even the underlying issue and will need the empathy to work through it, as well as the current situation between both of you.

I've had a family member do the same to me. I obviously don't know your specific situation, but sometimes trying to think from the other person's perspective helps you to start a conversation with them. For example, my mom used to think I was lying even when I wasn't, and it was difficult to communicate with her because of that. It took a while but I later came to realize (through trying to see stuff through her eyes) that it wasn't that I was doing anything wrong, it was that she was very anxious at the time and it made her question me a lot more.
