A Perplexing Situation
Posted on 12:53 Hrs,August 11th, 2007 by Steph

Let’s say that through the discovery of a (surprisingly simple) bug on a social web site you find something… revealing? enlightening?… about a person that you’ve known for closeish to ten years. This discovery suggests, rather strongly, that this person has not been very honest with you for the past several years and that you two may not be the good friends that you’ve been lead to believe that you are.

This particular person occasionally reads this blog so I will not be giving any additional information about this situation, or the bug.

Do I confront the person with the information that I learned, do I just say “fuck it, life has more pressing problems” and forget about it, or do I take a middle road and begin to treat them… how to say.. as they’re no longer a part of my very small inner circle of friends?

The question, my dear readers, is what do you do?

Tell the person you saw their profile on the social networking site. People think they are anonymous online, and sometimes they embellish the truth. But give your friend the option to tell you what is going on.

I would say confront them… being upfront is always the best route.. Or if you dislike confrontation, you can try hinting as to the issue/lie at hand and see if they come clean. But that is only one persons advice.
