Would you forgive her?

She faked a serious illness to get attention. To some people that really would be unforgivable. I wonder what is going on in her life that would cause her to tell such an extravagant lie, to want to have people pity her like that. Did it start out as a small fib that brought her some unexpected attention and it snowballed from there? There must be something going on with her that no one is picking up on. Maybe she needs a friend more than ever now. She could be remorseful but be too ashamed to admit that she told such a massive lie - you just don't know if she's not willing to talk about it.

Have you come clean with her about how you feel; like one-on-one without others around? Have you told her that her faking a fatal illness left you feeling betrayed and furious with her?

Right now you're very angry with her, but you said that you miss her and want to forgive her, so she must have some good qualities. I think you should give her a second chance if you feel that way. Make sure you are honest about your anger and give her the opportunity to apologize, otherwise it will only poison any possibility for friendship you have with her, but once you have, let it go. Make it clear to her that if you catch her lying to you again, your friendship is over for good.

It's difficult to go the route of forgiveness and not everyone wants to make the effort it takes because it does take effort. Do you think she is worth the effort? If you don't, that is okay too, you have that right.

Personally, if one of my friends did that, I'd probably forgive them. But that's just me and you are not me. Everyone's different.

Turn the other cheek. maybe one day you'll want forgiveness.

I knew someone who did the exact same thing she was a crazy bitch leave her and dont stay in contact is my advice as there is no limit to her lies. Find better freinds

Also, if you see her again, give her a really hard slap.

What a stupid person. Why would you lie about having cancer? How does having a deadly medical condition make you look cool?

Any body who jokes or lies about cancer is a fucking monster.

depends

If one of my friends lied to me about having cancer, I would think about my uncle who died from cancer. Almost everyone is affected by cancer one way or another, which makes this kind of lie hard to forgive. If it was me, I would find a way to forgive, but I would never forget.

I agree with other posters. This girl is twisted and needs help.

Life is too short.

Expect more lies in the future.

don't make promises you can't keep. Here is how you shorten it. My friend lied about having cancer but really it was acne.

You are welcome

I have a friend she's a joker and she spread a rumor about me having a crush on this guy I hate and everyone believer her even my BFF but she meant it as a joke and she didn't really start it it was her BF who hates me so yeah

Would I personally forgive her? I ahve a similar story. My ex Bf fell for my sister (Was a current bf at the time) I got upset and told him he could have he and left. I moved in with my dad in another town. My sister said she was soooo sorry that happened and that she wasn't interested in him, and she never even goes over to his place since I moved. So 2 months later I have to go back to his place to pick up some of my stuff. My sisters shit is strewn all over the place, and she walks in 5mins later surprised to see me. I was very mad at her, and 4 years later. She's a drug addict, and crazy. She still says that she doesn't owe me an oppology cause she didn't sleep with him. All I want is a STUPID APPOLOGY! Because she lied to me. I don't even care about my ex. I don't think she even slept with him, I just want her to finally appologize for lying to me! So no. I haven't forgiven her. I wouldn't forgive your friend either until she appologized. People need to fess up when they've done wrong. And just liek your situation, my sister isn't worth having in my life. She uses people to get what she wants and borrows money she's never giving back. It's up to you what you do though.

No don't forgive her. She did such a stupid things to get attention, to get friends she already had, she thought that she will be popular, but in fact she got hated even more. Let her be. You will find a better and more trust full friend than her. For some reason I feel sorry for her, you and your friends, but I have to say that she deserves to be hated. This kind of sickness is not fun, people die and she just pretends it to get attention ? What ?

I dont think this is about forgiving a friend. She's seriously sick. Not with cancer. But a healthy person wouldnt lie to anybody about this. I really think she needs to see a psychologist.
