Okay, so let’s be real: everyone lies. Sometimes it’s a big, elaborate whopper, and sometimes it’s just a little white lie to avoid hurting someone’s feelings. And with texting being so convenient, it’s easier than ever to fudge the truth because people can’t see your face or hear your voice, which might lead you to overthink why someone is active but not replying.
But what do you do when you know someone is lying to you over text? It’s tough, because you don’t have those visual or auditory clues to go on. Figuring out how to respond can be tricky, too. Do you call them out? Do you ignore it? Your response can either make things better or worse.
This article will explore some different strategies for how to respond to a lie text, depending on the situation and your relationship with the person.
