reader, anonymous, writes (3 June 2010): I think it depends on the lie itself. I guess we all tell little harmless lies sometimes. But if it is something which could affect the other person, that might be different.
It is hard to answer your question as there is not much information to go on, but I think that if it is troubling you, or going round in your mind, then it might be worth getting it out in the open and clearing the air. Otherwise, it might just torment you endlessly and make you feel bad and worried. Sometimes we just know what the right thing is to do...so if deep down you feel you should tell that person, then maybe you should.
But if it is something really small and harmless, and telling the other person will do no good for you or them at all, but may just create friction, then I think sometimes it can be best to just let it go and move on, without saying anything. But really, it does depend on what the lie is about. Hope this helps. x
