    1
    Admit that you lied to the person. See how they take it.
    • If they are upset or mad, apologize again. Tell them that you know you can't take it back, but try and see if there's anything you can do to gain their trust back again.
    • If they are okay, still ask if you can do anything. Sometimes, a simple act of kindness or a hug will gain a little of their trust back.
