A family member thinks I am lying about where I am going but I'm not, what should I do?

I think you should talk to them and explain where you are going. If they still do not believe you tell them you will send them picture of where you are so they know you are there. If you are going with other people you can text those people and have them fully confirm where you are going. If the person thinking you are lying is a parent make sure they know you will be safe. If the person is not a parent then do not worry about it too much because they are not your parents and can not do anything about it.

You should sit down with them and have an honest conversation with them about where and why you are going somewhere and if you are comfortable with doing this you can share your location when you arrive at your destination to help calm them down. Remember they only think your lying because they care and want whats best for you. Family cares about family and you should be proud to have a family that cares so much about your safety. If you talk to them about there concerns and offer to send your location or an "arrived" text when you get there it should calm them down.

Well in my experience, you cant be to safe, so never lie about where you are going if something was to happen to you someone needs to know who you are with, now sorry that's the parent in me, really if it's a friends house or somewhere like a event, you could video call you could get someone to call them an verify you are there, it's just to reassure them that you are safe an okay an that's all a family member really wants to know now be safe out there an have a good day friend

prove it to them. if you really are going where you say you are, facetime them or something just to show them, build up the trust but after a while gradually stop facetiming them as you dont want it to become a controlling habit. build up the trust, build up the relationship. go out with whoever they are, talk about the things you do wherever it is you are going. build up that confidence between being able to openly communicate with eachother. it will help you in life trust me. relationships with family/friends/ partners who care about you are important. and after a while they will trust that you are going where you say you are because they feel more comfortable with the situation

I believe you in a situation like you need to ask that family member if you guys can have a conversation. Than when that request is approved start by asking that family member what makes them think that you are lying about where you are going. Maybe also ask if they trust you or not. Once you've got your answers to any of you questions you felt needed to be asked than you can simply let the family know that they don't have worry if your lying or not. Let them know that they can trust you. By doing this will allow them to think better when you want to do something.

I think family members do and eventually they get concerned if you are not engaging. Family members often get so confused or think that telling eatchother everything is the key. Sometimes not. I have to admit that family's do not usually listen until a significant part of your life has fallen apart! Family's don't normally get involved unless it's something serious or damaging to the family. I recommend you would take help and allow the process to begin. Families can take complete control. It's up to you to be able to rise and overcome it. If you admit the situation you can work towards recovery of your family. Have talks and be able to move on.

Unfortunately, I cannot give personal advise on this topic however I understand how this may be stressful and upsetting for you. Try to understand why they they think that you are lying to them. Think about what you could do in order for them to trust you and not think that you are lying. Do you think that they are mistrusting of you for a reason? If not, what do you think would be the best way for you to show that you are telling the truth. Is there any way that you could show that you are telling the truth when you are going somewhere?

I sit them down and tell them I love them, and to ask me about where I'm going. When they start to express doubt, I ask them to elaborate and ask them why they think I am lying about something so important. The most important thing is to make sure that they know they are loved and that you want to be trusted. I wouldn't take a confrontational attitude and would do my best to see why they feel the way that they feel. It could be some sort of miscommunication, or based off of things that aren't true. The biggest thing, I think, would be to just show that you love the family member and be honest about where you are going, and why.

Usually, parents think their child is lying about some place they're going because they have in the past. I was guilty of being a compulsive liar as a kid as well, it would be best to ease their mind by assuring them you are indeed going where you say you are and ensure to them, you're going to provide proof once you arrive. I know it can be frustrating to not be believed when you are telling the truth, but trust is to be earned. I'm sure you will earn their's eventually. The frustration you feel is very much temporary and remind yourself your parents are only looking out for you.

Explain I have no reason to lie, I’m an honest person, who has nothing to hide. It’s unfortunate that you have misgivings about my credibility. I find lying a deceptive trait, and would not want someone to lie to me about the whereabouts. We can discuss this later, after II have completed my errand later this afternoon. You can explain why you feel suspicious of me, and hopefully we can get this cleared up so it’s not a problem in the future. Enjoy the rest of your day, and keep in mind that I’m part of your team. Have a nice afternoon.

You can calmly ask them as to why they think that you are lying to them. Get to know the reason and later assure them that you are not lying and that there is no reason to lie. Communication is essential my friend. It is ok for them to think this way but I am glad that you noticed this and have decided to speak to them openly. Be open as they are your family. You can show them your best behavior and eventually they may stop feeling that you are lying to them. Good luck my dear friend

This happened to me all the time in my mid-teens. When this happened, I sat down with my family member and looked them in the eye and told them the truth. If you have a history of lying about where you go or what you do, it's vital to acknowledge that. Here is what I said: "Mom/Dad, I know that in the past, I've lied about the things I do, but I want to try to move forward and build trust with you. I know it's hard to believe me because of my past mistakes, but this is honestly where I'm going." It's important to look them in the eyes when you have conversations like this so they know you are wanting to be honest. Sometimes it can help to tell them when you are leaving, when you are coming back, and who you are going with. Move forward and build trust.

If they don't trust you and think you are lying, the only thing you can do is ask how to help them trust you. There are apps on phones that show where someone is, you could have a friend who is there with you (if there is one) take a picture with you to prove you are at the place you said. Otherwise, I don't have any ideas. It is really up to the person who doesn't trust you. They have their ways of gaining trust, ask and find them out, then show them you can be trusted. If you haven't done anything to show them that you can't be trusted, then you should be okay. If you have a past of lying and being untrustworthy, it may take time.

To gain trust, you have to be transparent, so it's easy to believe you have no reason to hide. If a family member thinks you're lying, then you'll need to observe how you are presenting yourself to make them think you are hiding something, or not giving them the information they need to feel you are truthful. Ask your relative what they need to feel comfortable about you going to your destination. Remember, they are watching out for you safety. Have you been known to lie? Then you'll have to improve your credibility to gain their trust. As you mature, you'll begin to see different perspectives on life. These different perspectives will help you understand what they might be seeing that you aren't.

I need to talk to a family member about his concerns, what doubts he has about my path, and what he sees as the best path for me. For my part, I promise to think over and heed his advice, to discuss the problem again in the near future. in most cases, an outside perspective helps us to find the right path, often we do not see the real picture, so we need to thank the family member for participating and listen to his opinion if it turns out to be acceptable. Sometimes this opinion contradicts our ideas, then you will have to defend your position, logically justifying

This is a frustrating situation. An easy way to gain your parents trust is to take pictures or even video message them once you get to your location. They will be able to see that you were not lying and slowly you will gain their trust. Another thing you can do is have them drop you off at the location, if that's a possibility. Don't be discouraged you're doing the right thing by telling the truth and soon your parents will acknowledge your honesty and issues between you guys will resolve. P.S. Don't forget that communication is KEY, especially with parents.

This sounds stressful and I've actually dealt with this in the past. Depending on how old you are, its important to set boundaries and allow trust to be built between you and your family members. Many times family members will worry about where you're going because of the problems that exist within the world. To help establish trust, I would start by having a conversation, either casual or you can all sit down, and talk about what they expect from you. One thing you could potentially ask is if texting them when you arrive to your destination would help ease their mind. Another thing you could suggest is dropping your pin, if you have an IPhone, or sharing your location for a second. This can easily prove quickly that you are where you say you are.

First ask yourself where the mistrust is stemming from. Like why are they questioning you all the time and not believing your answers? Have you done something in the past to cause this feeling they are having? If not, they definetly have some sort of insecurity, if it is a parent or guardian they could be super overprotective, but then they may not let you go anywhere in the first place. All in all you can not stop people from thinking whatever they will think, if you are where you say you are then it really doesnt matter what others believe or disbelieve. Just enjoy your time out and ignore those who give you troubles about it. Tell them if they do not believe you that is their own problem not yours.

Depending on your age I’d either invite them to drop me off wherever I am going or establish boundaries to ensure they are respecting your privacy. They could just be worried, so if you attempt to calm their nerves about what you’re up to and they still carry on, provisions must be put in place. You could always try to discuss this with them and let them know how you’re feeling, but they don’t have the right to make you feel uncomfortable leaving the house and trying to invade your privacy. Obviously this is age appropriate, depending on how old you are.

Unfortunately, getting people to believe you once they form an option can become difficult to change their minds. Continue to be honest. Report your whereabouts and find ways to verify your whereabouts. Remain calm and rational. Ask family member for clarification on what you can do to build trust and change their mind about their opinion on if you are being dishonest or not. Avoid arguing, raising voice, doing your best not to get angry. Accept the feedback given and do your best to continue communicating honestly. Avoid walking away and do your best to be open to suggestions on ways to build trust.

Try and prove to them that you are trustworthy. For example, text/phone them when you get there. Take some pictures to prove to them. You could even ask them to pick you up to prove to them that you are where you said you would be. In the end, it is very hard to convince someone that you’re not lying. Think of reasons that they have to not trust you and resolve those issues. It takes a lot to convince someone of your innocence so try and work it out with your parents. Hopefully this help you to resolve any issues they have. :)

Your whereabouts can be related to trust and concern about your safety from your family. Beloved ones may not be influenced solely by this family member statement. That is if they know they can trust you about where you are going. But, if it is proven in many cases that whenever you go out you are in danger or run the risk of being mistreated, then you need to start thinking about considering their worries. Make sure first that you yourself can rely on your own decisions. Then it will be natural to reassure beloved ones for their trust .

It can be frustrating when you're telling the truth but someone in your own family doesn't believe you or is accusing you of lying. This can be especially distressing if you don't have a track record of being dishonest with them. While it isn't necessarily your job to allay the suspicions of others, sometimes it can seem like doing so will get them to come around and see things for what they are. If you want to go that route, offer to take them with you to where you are going. If that's not appropriate, you can offer them obvious evidence (pictures snapped live from where you are, souvenirs, receipts, tangible items, or the like) to show you are or were where you said you would be. However, be warned that going the route of using evidence to unravel their suspicions could cause the person to stick to their faulty beliefs. They may question why you're trying so hard to be believed or could even disregard your proof and "go with their gut feeling", even if it's incorrect. It's important to note that if they are really stuck on their assertion, there is nothing you can do that will convince them (and it's not your responsibility to). Another option is to simply ask them what it is that makes them feel you are lying. Their answer may reveal an easy fix. For instance "I think you're lying because you said you were going to the gym, but you didn't have to shower when you got home, so it's obvious you weren't there" gives you the chance to clarify that you were going there for a swim, or showered at the gym, or were going just to renew your membership. In other words, if you get to the root of their disbelief, you can likely solve the whole issue. Asking them why they think you're lying gives you the chance to clear up any misunderstandings about what's going on, and that might make them more comfortable. Best of luck!

A way to deal with this would be to possibly as the family member what is motivating him to have these thoughts. Why does he believe you are lying? Have you given him reason in the past to doubt you? mention that his doubt of your integrity is upsetting and you don't appreciate it, and you would rather he put his trust in you rather than placing you in a negative light unfoundedly. Possibly invite the family member to join you to prove that you are going where you say you are. Suggest that you have no reason to lie, am an independent person who is capable of making your own decisions.

I understand that you feel anxious about the family member thinking that you are lying where you are going when you are not. Also, I understand that you may feel uncomfortable and upset about why you are not gaining their trust. I get you and I would feel uncomfortable and upset too if I were in your situation. Have you thought about why you are lacking this family member's trust? Have you thought of why this family member thinks that you are lying? Also, how would you feel about talking and confronting this family member. What is the worst that can happen about talking and confronting this family member, and what is the best that can happen about doing this?

Sometimes earning trust is very hard once it's been broken. When my parents would do something similar with me, I'd look at the situation from their perspective. For example, if I was going to the library to study and my family members think I'm going to somebodies house to make poor choices, I'd think about why they think this. In a situation like the one I listed, a family member would probably think this because of past choices or even just the way you portray the situation. A good thing to do is show, not tell. Rather then saying "I'm going to the library to study" Say something like "Hey ___ I hope you son't mind but im at/going to the library to study___." Then when you get there send them some pictures or take pictures to show them later. Also, sometimes when I try and convince my parents about where I am, they think I'm getting defensive because I am lying. If possible, try to stay calm and unbothered when discussing things with the family member. I hope this helps and anybody with this issue can resolve it! stay safe :))

Lack of communication may be a problem. Please sit with your family member and try to explain the situation calmly. Make sure that both of you are ready to listen to each other's concerns at the time of the talk. And please remember that you both are on the same side and the problem is on the other side. Try to find some common grounds. Sometimes our parents and relatives are just concerned about us. Try to know the root of this problem and ask questions regarding it. Reassure them if they have some concerns. I hope this helps. Thank you

If best in your situation, give them some way to reach you while out so they have reassurance your alright when needed. Usually they are aware of some friend your with. If they happen to not believe and follow you. Then they will see your exact where you meant to be. Possibly this will ease the tension when your going out alone. It can feel uncomfortable like your being judged sure. Overprotective family members usually think they are doing the right for you. If its pushing you away. Id suggest taking time to reassure them youd take all precautions to satisy them. Maybe will eliminate future doubts

Setting clear boundaries for what is your responsibility and what is not is very important - for you and for the other person. We are responsible FOR ourselves and our actions, we have a responsibility TO others, but we are not responsible FOR them. A candid conversation can explain to a family member your feelings about them not believing you, and talk about why they don’t believe you. It is considerate to be reassuring but it is not your job to change their mind. If you are telling the truth and they still don’t believe you it is only a reflection of their current state of mind.

You really have no control over what others think, right? They need to believe you, Or not. You can’t make them trust you, you can only hope your actions allow them to trust you better. Be a good person. Tell them the truth, and ask them to believe you, but in the end it is what it is. Sometimes in life, we have to simply live, and not worry about what others think. Simply be careful that you live your truth, and others should believe if you are being real. I wish I knew more about the circumstances, why they might not believe you, oh where you’re going that they don’t believe you. It is a bit difficult to answer a question thoroughly when you don’t really understand the background. Best wishes!
