Honestly there is nothing you can do. More than anything else, it's their perception. If they think you are lying and you are not, it could be what is called "projection". It means they are guilty of lying and their brain is attributing it to you. It's called an 'ego defense'. It's very common and is what happens when people wont admit they are wrong, even to themselves. Other than that, you just need to understand what other people think literally is due to their brain and perception, it has nothing to do with you. So if they think you are lying it is what it is, your going to have to accept it and depending on who it is, may readjust your views on your relationship with this person. Be strong. it's literally, neurologically not you. Because science.

The only thing that you can do when someone thinks you're lying is to just let it go in whatever the situation may be. You and God both know the truth and that's all that matters. You don't have to explain anything to anyone else. However if you are lying just try to be honest. The truth will set you free.

Stick to the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. If you tell the truth, even if they think you're lying, it will all turn out for the best in the end.

Sometimes people make an opinion strictly based on their past, maybe they have been involved with a lot of bad people in their life, who lied all the time, if someone thinks you're lying and you really have not given them a reason why they should feel that way, then i would say just give them time and more reasons why they can trust you, maybe their thoughts really do not reflect how they feel about you, and more how they feel on the inside.

There's not a whole lot that you can do, aside from pick and choose your friends. If they don't believe you, then they're not really being good friends, are they? Relationships of all kinds are built on trust, and a breach in that trust damages the relationship you may have with that person.

You tell them the truth. If they still think you are lying, they will never believe you. You don't need people like that in your life.

you can't do anything. There is nothing wrong with you if yourself feel you are right and others are just taking the chance to say you are a liar. It hurts but I am just saying why waste your time and energy on people which they think you are lying. They seriously don't have time for others other than gossiping or spreading rumours about you. You might want to stay away from them? …or it depends on which people thinks you are lying maybe because in past you lied and they can't trust you or ..? it seriously depends on the situation you are in. Many perspectives should be taken …not just one story but both story ..hope you got my answer!

Stick to your guns. You know the truth. You cant control what others think. So if you are being honest with yourself, that is what matters.

I'm actually going through this right now but what I do is just forget about it because no matter what you'll always know the truth

We cannot control what other people ultimately believe, think, feel or do. This is unfortunate, but also brings with it a kind of peace in acceptance. If their belief that you are lying is actively interfering with your day-to-day wellbeing, that is unfortunate. Try to get a support group together of family, friends, teachers, and whomever you think may be emotionally supportive to you and discuss this problem with them. Consider why it bothers you so deeply that others are accusing you of lying, and if there's any way you can treat yourself to personally feel better during this situation. If you have not already, approach the accusing parties calmly, honestly, and openly and attempt to have a discussion on the subject. Say something like, "Do you think I am lying?" [...] "I have the feeling of ___ when you accuse me of lying. I'd like to talk to you about this and hope that even if I cannot convince you, we can still have a supportive relationship." The key is to remain calm and honest throughout the conversation, even in the face of adversity or mockery. Consider what you want to get out of this situation ultimately: do you want them to acknowledge you were honest, do you want them to apolgoise, what would you like to happen? and make sure you tell them in a kind, honest manner what you would like to happen too. Consider some compromises you would be willing to make if any in this instance, like agreeing to let it go that they think you're lying and still having the same kkind of relationship with the person as before - or similar. If the person is stubborn or unwilling to have an open-minded conversation with you, and the accusation does not intefere with your day-to-day wellbeing, best to let it go and try to distract yourself from it.
