If people think you are lying, then they must have a reason. Your words could just not sound truthful, even if they are. I know I have heard stories that are completely true, and I was even there, but they sound fictional. It’s a vicious cycle. But if they think you are lying, I would clarify that you are not. People are quick to jump to conclusions, and don’t always stop and think about who they can be judging. I would say make sure your words sound truthful, and always clarify your stories. If they still don’t believe you, then I would just walk away.

It is very hard to live though the situations when we think that someone is doing something to portrait us in a wrong way. We can be exposed to judgments that hurt our feelings and what is even worse sometimes those situations can hurt people around us. Is it easy to say that if we did not do anything wrong things are easy? Is it really easy? On the other hand, do we need to go around and try to convince everyone that we are not lying? It also depends what the accusation that someone is lying is about, of course. That is a very important detail. I would say that the most important thing is that we trust ourselves.

The only thing you can do is continue living and speaking with consistency. We cannot control the thoughts, beliefs or behaviors of others. If they think we are being dishonest, it is their right to hold that belief, but their belief doesn't make it true. The best way to demonstrate your honesty is to simply live your honest life.
If this is a consistently expressed opinion in your life, you might consider asking for feedback as to what about your behavior is conveying dishonesty. Sometimes our mannerisms and habits can give a message that we do not intend to give.
Ultimately though, if you know you are being honest, then you shouldn't really need to concern yourself with whether or not others believe you.

It is never fun to either be accused of something or some one who thinks that you are lying. I t can also be a tough situation to be in! I would say that you should do everything that you can to convince them, and if they are not believeing you, you just have to say ' i know what the truth is and if they can not see that, that is really too bad' good luck!!!

I would try hard to rebuild my trust with them. When people think you are lying, it is usually because you broke their trust in the past. This may seem like a great feat, but a little effort can go a long way! Whether it be helping them run an errand, take care of pets/kids, or keeping a promise, they will eventually start to realize that you're a good person. They will begin to understand that you mean no harm to them and that you wouldn't lie to them because you actually care about them. It will take a little time, but sooner than later, they will not think you are lying anymore.

I have so many in-laws that constantly think I’m lying. I for a long time spent days and weeks trying to explain myself to them and it never seemed to work. It was extremely frustrating and daunting do you think about talking to them. I did eventually come to realize it does not matter what they think because everything I am saying is true. If it is not something that I have an opinion on but I can prove with the fact I have chosen to not let people bother me. I know that I could easily pull out my phone or something to prove that I am correct. That is not necessary. Sometimes individuals think that you’re lying because they are or they have trust issues. There are countless reasons for someone not to believe you more so than to believe you without any evidence. What I enjoy is continuing to be honest and never lying or extremely rare and keep moving with my life. Since I have chosen to be so honest I have my in-laws trusting me with what I say and even apologized which was a bonus!

We will still think about what we will become in the future. But soon, after a short period of thinking, it will be overshadowed by playful thoughts. But when everyone was young, he could not put aside the question, "What is your dream when you grow up?" Be a scientist, be a people's police. The answer of most of us always seems so great, perhaps out of envy, perhaps out of ignorance of children, but is it still the same today? Wake up your heart and look back at that time, what was your original dream? No matter what it is, it is possible to realize it, because everyone has a child in his heart and the motive force of his dream is always there.

Discovering people thinking about us negativity is hurtful and often we feel unfair if it wasn't the truth.
What we can do is to re-establish our boundaries and also think about if it was based off mind reading through peoples' behaviour.
If you managed to know someone who tells you that there have been stories about you lying, ask them what makes them think that way about you and respond accordingly to their concerns.
At the end of the conversation, you can also invite the person to encourage whoever else talking about the stories to approach you directly instead if they have further concerns about your integrity.
If you don't know who exactly had these thoughts about you, the best way is to not get into mind reading others' behaviours or expressions while continuing to try to communicate with others and practice self care daily.

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.However if you are lying just try to be honest. The truth will set you free.

I don’t know you or the other people who think that so don’t take my words at face value.
A good question you could ask yourself is “why do you thing THESE particular people think that about you?â€. Also, is something that they told you or something you believe it’s in their minds? There’s a big difference between these two.
If these people who think that are people you value and trust, I believe it would be really important to talk to them about it openly. Discussion is the best solution to everything.
On the other hand, if these people are not important to you you don’t need to worry about them. You are the one you know your self the best!
And remember that in order to be honest to others, you need to be honest to yourself!
There are people who always judge others without knowing them. Mostly this happens because they are not honest to themselves.
Take care! :)

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?
