Being falsely called a liar

[Quynhuynh]

Someone got angry at me because they thought I was lying and being fake, but I was being honest. Specifically, she said "that's cap". I just hate being falsely accused. How do I cope with it?

Take an evening class in English?

You just get over it?

It's a tough one because it's very hurtful for an honest person to be called dishonest.

The way to cope is two-fold.

Firstly, accept that some people will believe whatever they want to believe even when evidence to the contrary is presented to them. There is usually something going on with this type of person which could be jealously, resentment of some kind, projection (they lie a lot), wanting to cause trouble, wanting to goad you into a reaction etc. This is a "them" problem, not a "you" problem.

Secondly, know that the "truth will always out." It can take days, weeks or even years but it will come out and you will be vindicated.

I wouldn't wish your life away waiting for this to happen, it's enough for you to know that you were the truth-teller and the other person chose not to believe you. That's fine, just don't bother giving them anymore of your precious time or energy in future.
