Two Faces, One Truth

How can you tell when someone is actually telling the truth? Is it their body language? Or their tone of voice? How about the facts and figures already laid on the table? Now what happens when you believe that person, you allow yourself to fully trust them....and then they lie to someone else about you. They say the exact opposite of what they just told you. So how do you know when someone is being two faced? and what do you do when you find out the truth?

I've met a lot of two faced people throughout my young life and I've been fairly clueless about them all, until now. I used to never be able to tell when someone was lying to me or being two faced to me, I always thought people, my friends, were just telling me the truth! Oh how young and naïve I used to be because those people have taught me how to catch people like them...sucks to be those people who meet me now. I can now tell if you're lying or being two faced...their body language is nervous and fidgety, their tone of voice isn't normally how it is, and I've usually have found out other facts that don't match what they're saying. So now I can tell that they're lying or that you're going behind my back to talk about me.

So now what do I do about that? There are many choices laid in front of me now: I can ignore it, I can confront it, I can talk about them behind their back, or I can move forward in life knowing that I have been honest and truthful to the people that meant the most to me. The hardest part about trying to move on and not bother to give these people any more unnecessary attention is the fact that I'll be doing it alone. No one else will be able to tell you good job for moving forward or tell you that you're one tough cookie for ignoring that. I just sometimes wish people would tell the truth and not be so two faced.

You may have two faces, but there's only one truth.
