@shontel_anestasia: When dealing with a habitual liar, especially one who loves to stretch the truth and weave elaborate stories, let them keep talking. Let the manipulator think they’re manipulating you. Hit them with the occasional “OH, REALLY?” not because you believe them, but because you’re collecting data. The strongest position isn’t always confrontation. Sometimes it’s letting someone believe they’re in control while you quietly study the pattern. You’re not playing the game. You’re learning the rules. Manipulate the Manipulator.
