What's important is that you know for your self that you are being honest. If you're being honest you don't have anything to worry about therefore you should be calm. You did your part which was telling the truth, it is up to the other person now to believe you or not. You should not have to force someone to believe you. Trust should be mutual. Sometimes it is not, then we as humans need to learn to accept the decision of others and move on. We have to learn to accept the things we can not change and either work with it or leave it alone.

Keep telling the truth no matter what - people always believe what they want, but if you are consistent the truth will come out. Your body language may also be a factor. Using open body language can help. This may include making good eye contact and not folding your arms - keeping your posture open.
Find the people who believe in you and use them for support. People who believe you despite everything can hopefully become your really good friends and support for you.
I really hope this helps. Believe in yourself, and other people will as well.
Wishing you the best

well if you are lying and people are confronting you, honesty is always the best. but if you are not lying, you should stick to what you know its true no matter what the rest thinks, maybe try to talk them out of their thoughts and explaining them that theres no reason for you to lie so they should learn to believe and not judge so much. also try and not get very stressed about the rest not believing you, it only matters what you believe and what you stick to, never let anyone take that from you

why bothering yourself about what people think? if i am telling the truth let them believe whatever they want! It is not my problem what the mind of others think....it's their problem and their mind! I am truthful so there is nothing to do about the negativity that other people react to what I say....I could explain to them that I am not lying....but apart from that I cannot do anything else. If they want to think that I am a liar, I cannot change their mind, so I don't have to bother with it. Just accept it, without feeling bad about them nor about me....

You shouldn't have to justify yourself, you know you are in the right and anyone who doesn't believe you doesn't deserve to have you! Spend time with people who believe and support you, cut out toxic people who bring nothing but misery to your life. It's hard to say goodbye to people, in fear of loneliness. But it will be a lot better in the long run, otherwise they will simply think they can walk over you again and again. You are worth more than any of their opinions, if you are hurting and they can see that then they should support you no matter what.

In my opinion, and that is all it is - an opinion, if someone thinks you are lying, there are two reasons that they feel this way. 1) They are insecure/jealous or 2) You have someway or somehow proven yourself dishonest in their eyes. Either way, there is absolutely nothing that you can do about it.
To attempt to prove yourself, you make it known that you recognize their distrust, thereby giving them satisfaction and/or more reason to doubt you. If you want people to believe you, make every effort to be trustworthy whether it is in your talking or, more importantly, in the integrity that you show in everyday life.

Tell the truth. State the facts. Sometimes overexplaining makes things worse. So stay with the facts. In the meantime let others feel your sincerity and honesty in your words. Be as objective as possible. If you are telling the truth, you have done your part. People can interpret things differently. It is not practical to try to manipulate their ways of thinking. If you have proofs, show them proofs. If not, explain yourself in a nonjudgmental way. Don't blame others. By taking your responsibility and being truthful you earn trust. Remember don't explain more than you need. After that, go on with your life.

If people think I am lying I would calmly let them no I was being truthful and ask them what gave them the impression I wasn’t be truthful . I would hope then to continue the conversation in a productive manner . I would try my best to consider what they were saying and double check my answer or responses to see if there was something I was saying that lead them to think I was being dishonest. If I know in my heart I was being truthful . I would try to show more compassion towards the person knowing that it was their issue or concern with trust and not me specifically. If we could not move on past this point I would refer them to another listener

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.

Most people who constantly gets accused of lying has a history of not telling the whole truth. This may or may not bayous case. If the people you're surrounded by don't believe the things you say ask them why. If you already know why I would take the necessary precautions to change the way the perceive me. Another reason could be (if its not closed ended conversation) Is they don't feel you are knowledgeable about the subject at hand.So they don't necessarily believe what you're bringing to the table. I hope this can help you reflect on the many reason people think you're not 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?
