ugh why did I start hanging out with someone I decided to cut off a year ago?

I have a freind I've known for a bout 12 years. I stopped talking to him for about a year because he had issues with lying and admitting when he was wrong. It was frustrating b/c it was insulting thinking that I would believe anything he said as though I have no common sense.

For some stupid reason I started talking to him again recently, more to see if he has changed. To make it more absurd I agreed to help him with a project that required my workshop in my garage (I have a extensive woodshop with expensive tools). We have been hanging out for the last month and I have resigned myself to give him the benefit of the doubt concerning his stories and claims, no matter how unfeasable they may seem.

What I find increasingly annoying is that he won't admit when he is wrong about something. It is frustrating because some of his points of views are so rediculous and trying to reason with him is useless.

Tonight he was over at my house and he stated something just plain stupid and I told him it wasn't so. He of course insisted it was. I happened to have the devices and tools to show him that he was wrong with a simple demonstrative experiment and he wanted nothing to do with it, he then goes on to make smart ass passive aggressive comments and leaves promplty after

Why the hell did I start talking to the person again. Normally I would just cut this guy off but now my garage is full of stuff for this guy's project. gahh!!! I'm such a fool. What should I do?

i have a friend that lies a lot or stretches the truth a lot. She hates it when people tell her that she is lying and she gets really defensive. I've tried telling her and it turned out awful. She got a lot of our friends to turn against me and she was saying rude comments. Well...we're friends again and I talk to her and help her with school projects and stuff. She still lies, but I just try to ignore that part of her. She is still somewhat the same person she was 4 years ago, but she is getting better because she knows i don't like it when she lies to me. Talk to your friend and see how they take it. Tell them EVERYTHING that is bugging you about them. If he really has changed he'll try to do better...if he doesn't then don't talk to him again. Don't blame yourself for what happened. It's his fault not yours. He should have been more respectful.
