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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

In my opinion, firstly, you can explain it to your family, and if it is possible, you can give them some proofs to show you are not lying. If they still don't trust you, you can also go the place you are going to with them. You can also try communicating with them more and more, it may be more helpful. By the way, if you have a friend or someone who can help you to prove yourself. Anyway, you can find many methods to let them trust you. Anyway, it depends on yourself. Just trust you can do it.

Does it cause any trouble for you? If yes, do whatever you have to do to justify yourself, confront them, talk to your family.... But if it doesn’t cause any trouble for you except disturbing your peace of mind, then ask yourself why would you want to stay in a bad feeling?

I usually tend to look at why the other person feels insecure and is not able to trust. A lot of times I am reminded that we are mere reflections of oneself, it is likely that they are having a hard time trusting themselves. I would continue to be open and truthful in my responses to him/her. Sometimes it takes time to build or earn trust. And if I did not feel that I was being heard or validated for my consistent and open honesty, I would express how the person is making me feel by repeatedly not believing what I tell them.

These are some possible actions which you can possibly take:- 1.) Track as why that family member is thinking like that, some past incidents maybe. 2.) Establish more trust with surrounding family members and try to somehow influence that particular member. 3.) Have a common friend who can go with you and maybe prove that you are right. 4.) If that member is not your parent , then maybe your parents can help you. fact :- people want to hear what they already believe.

I would ask them where this mistrust in them had come from. If it is from somewhere where you have done something to break their trust I would apologize for that instance and tell them why you would not do it again. I would also say that you are wanting to work back up to their trust and ask them what you could do to build their trust back again. If you haven’t done anything previously to break their trust I would respectfully remind them of that and say that you respect them and their rules and do not wish to put them into a uncomfortable situation by lying to them.

That sounds really difficult! It can be a really hard thing to deal with, and sometimes make you feel hurt or angry. It may help you to remember that people all act and think differently based on their own life experience. There are so many years of experiences that may be leading your family member to think this way. Sometimes there's not much we can do to convince people, or control their thoughts and feelings. If they are not willing to believe you, and you feel you've done all you can, you may need to come from a place of compassion and understanding and try your best to let go of what they choose to believe. If you feel the need, you may be able to show them something that will further build their trust in you for the future? In the end, if you're telling the truth and they are choosing to distrust you, the only thing you can control is your own reaction. I hope this helps!

That stinks. I am sorry you are going through that. Is it possible to ask them the reason they think you are lying? And then to share that it upsets you? also let them know that you are honest and are concerned that their doubt in your honesty breaks down trust in the relationship which is important for any relationship? How would that feel to have that dialogue? And then there is always the option of providing proof, though Id recommend starting with a dialogue. Often we need to first understand the reasoning people think or feel the way that they do in order to then really address the underlying cause/doubt.

If you truly aren’t lying. I would try and tell the family member how I feel. Sometimes talking things over with the person who doesn’t trust you can help them realize you are telling the truth. If that doesn’t change their mind I would try to take a step in their shoes and try to see in their point of view why they wouldn’t trust me. E.g. you’ve lied about this before. If there isn’t anything you can think about as of why they wouldn’t trust you. Ask them why and don’t be shy because talking to them about how you feel can really make a difference, but do what YOU think you should do.

Explain to the family member that you have nothing to hide and you are being transparent and honest when giving them the courtesy of letting them know of your movements. If they continue to believe you are lying there is not much you can do about it except carry on with what you are doing and keep moving forward. If it still bothers you that they don’t believe you then you may like to have a conversation about what you have done to make them doubt and disbelieve what you are saying. If they are unwilling to have the conversation then maybe you need to question them further about why they are feeling this way.

Kindly tell them that they need to have more trust in you. Though it may seem like your family member is against you they most likely just want what’s best for you and your safety. Sometimes they’re scared and don’t know how to voice that properly. Talk it out and see how you feel after. If they still feel the same way, try talking and telling them that you wouldn’t do such things and that they need to look back and see what type of person you are and that you aren’t one to do something like that?Just talk to them!

Ask yourself why they don’t trust you. If you gave them many reasons to not trust you previously, and you have changed be patient with them. If not, ask yourself why they are the way they are and if they are people you should be spending time with If you can, prove that you are telling the truth; if you can't, don't worry about it, you know that you are telling the truthConsistently tell the truth. Be careful to ensure everything you say is a material fact and do not make statements unless you are sure something is true. Point out that family Judgements maybe flawed as it is emotionally biased and advise them to hire an independent forensics professional to prove or disprove their claim against you.

Talk to the person.....make things clear about where are you going....maybe he/she is worried about your safety....assure them....and the last thing you can do is ask them to keep a track talk to the people who are accompanying you....share your plans and make them realise that you are not the one they judged you to be....you too have your work and issues to deal with...maybe you can ask them to go along with you or track your details if they are so doubtful....if the issue arose because of some previous things make them believe that you learnt from your mistakes and now you have changed....you know your best and can do it....

If a family member thinks you are lying about where you're going when you're not, I say you should confront them and ask them on the reason why they don't believe you. I would show proof on where I am going. Say, you are going out with your friends to a restaurant and your parents still don't believe you, show them the text messages. Ask them the reason for their disbelief, but be gentle about it. Parents may not all be this way but if they are, then I say you should use this method. Don't get hurt if they say that, however.

Well, i think a good starting point would be to try and talk to the said family member and see what reason they have to think you are lying. Then if if possible try to put there mind at ease, work out a way that can allow them and yourself to be comfortable.. Maybe this could be just a simple form of someone showing you they are scared but not going about it the right way. If all else fails maybe jump on and speak to a listener and see if they can help you think of a strategy.

Promise to call them when you get there, or send them a picture of where you are when you go. Promise that if they aren't comfortable with it, you'll send them your location and they can pick you up, I know it's the hardest thing to do, but it will give you a chance to prove that you're responsible and loyal to your word. You could also try offering them to drive you their and update them every hour or every 2 hours of where you are. It has always worked with me and my parents. Just don't break their trust. :)

Examine inside you why their opinion matters. Examine and get an awareness of what effect and impact their opinion has on you. Communicate to them the effect that their lack of trust has on you. Aim to talk about why they do not trust you. Understand that the situation may not change even with your best efforts. Be prepared to accept that they may not change their attitude. Find inside you what is important to you - keep doing what you will, or modify your behaviour to make them happy? Do what is important to you. It may mean making them unhappy. Be prepared to live with the conflict.

If you already have permission from another family ember to go out, you can send texts checking in and if you can, include photos of how cool the place or the people are. Other way is to ask if they can pick you up when you're done, so that when they come to get you, they can see you were actually telling the truth. Depending on the place, you could ask another member to come with you and keep you company, but what you are really doing is having some kind of witness just in case someone asks you again where you've been.nThat way you can start gaining their trust back and sooner or later they will stop doubting you.

I would suggest sitting down with them and initiating a conversation. There are many questions that you ask, a main one being 'why do you think I am lying', you then have the opportunity to give your response. Family members often only want the best for us and maybe they want to protect you and this is their reasoning for not wanting you going out and not trusting you. I know how difficult this must be, being accused of something that you haven't done is difficult. A conversation is essential to finding a solution. Remember - doing have this conversation when emotions are running high because this will lea to people saying things that they do not mean!

I would find out why that particular family member believes that you are lying. Were there situations in the past where you lied and they caught you in a lie? If not, when you get to your destination, have that person call the family member and say that he/she is with you at the present moment. When that happens, then the family member will know that you are not lying and start rebuilding trust again with you. It may take a few times to prove that you're honest to this family member. If that doesn't fix the problem then this family member has a problem with lying. It could be that this family member is projecting onto you because he/she lies. That's a real possibility. Trust is difficult to prove.

You could try figuring out your family member's reasoning as to why he or she believes that you are being deceitful; was there a misunderstanding in the past that led them to distrust you or is there anything else that is going on? Figuring this out and sorting out the issue with your family member may solve the problem altogether. If that doesn't seem to work, you could try to offer proof that you're being honest about where you go. I wouldn't suggest making this a habit, since you deserve at least a little privacy. Offering proof may ease their concerns at first, though.

You can allow them to investigate; show them your phone location's tracking records. You can address the cause of their upset. Maybe they were worried about you, or afraid of losing you. You can thank them for their love and care for your safety. On the other hand, if this family member is being toxic, and coming from a place of trying to control you, it might not be a bad idea to calmly and firmly tell them that you need your own space. Or, keep walking on eggshells around them. On the surface you can reassure them that yes, they do know better, and they have control, again and again, until they relax. It's possible to say what people want to hear without losing power.
