Aibu to think she's constantly lying without proof?

I've got a mum friend who I've gone of. She a mum friend that I know from nursery.

I just feel like she lies about stuff. I don't know if I can be too specific but I guess it doesn't matter, I just have a feeling it's all a lie.

Aibu?

Not sure how you expect anyone to judge based on absolutely no information.

Not being friends with liars is sensible

YesThatsATurdOnTheRug · 16/01/2025 00:06

Sounds like you don't like her so I guess it doesn't matter either way, just phase out the friendship.

We need more information! However, a dishonest person isn’t ever going to be a good fit, so I would gently withdraw from the friendship.

You’d have to give some more information if you want to know if YABU, OP. What gives you the sense she’s lying absent any ‘proof’?

What are we supposed to say? We don’t know either of you and you’ve literally given us nothing to work with.

Always trust your gut.

Because of how she says it and how I just don't think it matches reality.

Really hard as I can't elaborate as she may read.

One example is how her child got ill - was due to someone else's neglect but I know you can't get that particular illness from that method.

She will give me information I didn't request but write heaps of messages about it and go into detail.

Anything that happens she's blameless and everything is extreme. Eg comments from men at work are really derogatory, and she tells me but doesn't so anything about it. And when I was saying how bad it is, it's like she made up another example of that someone said, and another. I don't know, her expressions just seem like she's lying.

I think you don't, other people do

That's what I feel... But I'm also not the best judge of character.

Wish I could but she's at nursery

Do you only see her at pick up and drop off then or do you meet up other times? Just be too busy for any other meet ups and make sure you're 'in a hurry' when you do see her at nursery or wherever. You can go back to being acquaintances even if you bump into each other some times.

Do you think she’s quite narcissistic? If you believe she’s being dishonest about other people and everything is always a massive drama, stay clear. I had a friend who always found drama in everything, eventually you’ll be in the firing line.

I agree with others. Slowly come away.
