    Hi
    I am wondering, why would a person hang around you and then tell lies about behind your back.
    Is there a word to describe this behavior? Or a description? I am lost. I am a victim of this kind of person.

    That's great advice. It took off some of the pressure.

    Have to ask. If you know that’s what they’re doing to you, why you don’t just cut them off completely and explain to anyone they’ve told those lies to how they lied and why you’re cutting them off. (Also warm them that if they’re lying about you they’re probably lying and backstabbing about them too)

    Life isn't always as linear and organised as that. And depending on the lies and who is being told, it can create more issues trying to explain than just ignoring it all.

    I understand. I had a huge falling out with a great friend recently and he sees our gang and social group far more iften and did exactly the same to me and I have no recourse. In fact i won’t even bring it up cos it’ll look like me backbiting when I really just want a fair say.

    The devious always win sadly.

    I would make your pals aware and just cut that person off if I were you. Too late for me to take the advice but hope you can.

    What's the modern term, something similar to gaslighting...or something in that ballpark?

    I was the last to leave and what I can gather it's going on a while. This individual was reported to the Garda twice.

    Your close, it was that in the beginning but I broke free. It's now telling lies
