Why did she lie?

UPDATE to post below: She showed me her new wallet today, and i saw her ID. Her birthday IS October 10th. I’m really upset and my feelings are hurt. What should I do? It hurts me that she wouldn’t at least say “Yes, I lied to you, but it’s because of a personal reason.” Or something like that. And yes, I know I was wrong for googling her originally, I shouldn’t have done that.


I’ve posted about this previously, but one time, I googled my friend out of boredom, and found that her birthday was different than what she’d been telling me. She told me her birthday was on August 3rd, 1998, but everything I’d found (court records, voter registration) showed her birthday to be on October 10, 1998. I confronted her about it and she said that that wasn’t true. Well, we aren’t speaking right now due to different reasons, and I got bored again and decided to do more digging. (Which I know probably isn’t a good thing.) I found her birth record that has her parents name’s on it. Sure enough, it says October 10,1998. Why would she lie to my face about it? It’s not like I haven’t been celebrating her birthday on August 3rd. If she didn’t want me to celebrate her birthday or something, I would’ve understood. But why lie about it? My feelings are really hurt and I don’t know if I should just let it go or confront her about lying.
