A comparison of other types of lying would be helpful. I have a compulsive liar in my life right now. Hes super quick to lie, even when its a small thing, and even when I tell him that I am positive hes lying, I have proof, he still insists on sticking with the lie. Now, hes become very predictable. Whats weird, is that the liar is an extremely good actor. So, even when U are 110% sure he/she is lying, u start to doubt yourself, and u feel as if u should believe the liar, even when u absolutely know the truth. Bizarre! This person is a mamas boy. A grown man actually. So my theory is that parents can easily create liars, by having unhealthy expectations of the child, and never giving them freedom. The child creates a pretend reality to make the parent happy, or get them to shut up, or whateverBTW, This grown man calls his mom daily. Also, hes fairly polite, nice, social, empathic, not intellectual, but a know-it-all.

The no empathy one really hurt and it's not true. Please don't spread false information like this, it only makes it harder for people to understand that I'm not purposely hurting their feelings and I'm really trying to be a good person. I have a lot of empathy and I care about people's feelings. I always feel deep shame and guilt about the lies I tell and that's why I used to make cover-up stories, but now I always tell people when I've lied to them. I understand that pathological lying is a difficult concept in the first place, but you were pretty harsh about it and that wasn't necessary. Please be more careful in the future, because if I would've seen this before I was more secure about myself, I would've started to hate myself even more when I know now that's not who I am.

Tbh I never actually knew what a pathological lair was until now. I only knew of it's existence due to my mom telling this play therapist that i was one. Seeing this tells me that my mom lied to my therapist and has messed up my whole entire view on myself because i thought i was just this forever liar or something, that no matter if i thought i was telling the truth i would be lying which led me to believe that i couldn't be trusted, which then made me scared to even make friends. Even though i never even tried making friends though they would still somehow get there and then i'd worry that i'd hurt them in some way to where i basically over share my whole life now.

My Ex girlfriend 100% was/still is a pathological liar, it took me to the darkest places in my mind, caused me the hardest times in my life and it absolutely ruined my mental health. The things she would lie about started out trivial and seemed questionable but I chose to ignore it.
Then they started to get more and more farfetched and they were really serious matters, she told me stories involving people I know so I've asked these people about said stories and they all had no idea what I was talking about.
Pathological liars are dangerous and you should not keep them in your life at any cost or for any reason, get rid of them!

I ended up dating someone like this. The stories were so bizarre and some were completely unbelievable. But one of the problems is, theres no way to verify much of what they say. When they say they know various celebrities (and he did this) its not like I can prove or disprove it. Its possible he met all these people, but not probable. And while these lies are inconsequential, he also lied about important things. And yes, theyre very quick on their toes to concoct a story around it when confronted. There is ALWAYS a story for it, even when you have black and white proof. Its wild to watch.

She didnt tell things that were unbelievable she told things that were very believable and I was the only one who knew that they were lies, she kept up with them too. Clearly an experienced awful person! Used the lies against me too and played the victim very well
Onto the next liar, she is currently faking a concussion, Lyme disease, and she lies to herself too specifically about the girl above. She told me that she had changed. I miss our friendship but not her lies and I just cant believe that shes telling the same lies to her new friends (Lyme disease girl.

yes I have a brother who tells all kinds of tells. He claim to have flown all over and flown a plane. I have been in his life all his life. I know different. My Grandma had this problem too. I even married one as I had experience in reading between the lines so I thought I could handle it. But its getting really old. My Grandma and ex have passed away but I still have to listen to it from my brother. I got so good at this you'd think I believe every word they say. But if you call them out it crushes them. My ears are tired of being compassionate toward these people

At home i never felt safe, whenever i told the truth it would end up with serious problems, my feelings were always overlooked and never thought of because i come from a country where mental health is not important. I recently found out that im a pathological liar when i actually noticed my problem that i lie for no reason, ive tried to fix my problem and its slowly working out, although man it is so hard to get out of it. I never lied in a bizzare way, id just lie like what i ate this morning or the small things. I dont recommend this to anyone

Watching this I feel genuinely concerned about maybe having been one in the past, on top of being autistic.
I'm 1000% sure nobody knows about this, because unlike most pathological liars, my lies were much much more believable.
And then if someone were to discover I lied to them about something, all I had to do is apologize and lie about why I lied!
Hopefully no one finds this out because I'm no longer like this and I wouldn't like people to completely stop trusting me.

I met one of these. Not dealing with it I feel lying with be the least of my problems saying im theirs before the first date. Not gonna go through with it. They want to meet me away from people felt strange to me. Probably never do something that feels off dating it probably is. It looked fine at first but the lying is very obvious now. this person's probably the worst. I will not date a liar but far my problems mainly it looks like A bad idea.

A girl I knew from very young, who was my best friend told some wild lies. I noticed it in high school from about yr9 onwards. She would get mad if I did something exciting, new, like why would you do that! And be very judgemental. A few days later, she would come to me and say she had done that same thing. It only got more convoluted from there. She hated for anyone to have an experience that she had not or could not have.

I'm afraid people might think I'm one of these. I like to tell stories and always know about a lot of gossip, so I'm always telling them. I'll share stories from years ago, and I'm now realizing that people might think I'm saying it's all happened recently and might think I'm trying to exaggerate my life. I don't want to stop telling stories though because I love to share interesting things: (

I think my husband is a pathological liar.
I've noticing it for a while now but everytime i try to bring this up he gets really defensive and avoids the argument.
He is a great guy overall and i love him and all the lies are totally unnecessary!
but it's starting to become a problem for me because i can't trust him anymore.
What can i do?

I think I struggle with pathological lying but the thing is I instantly regret lying after I do it cause I know I don't need to but I'm to scared to take it back so I just go deeper and deeper lying is so common for me I can say anything and not realize I'm lying then I stay up thinking about how dumb it was for me to lie

One of my friends once said bag worms were microscopic organisms that breed in you and kill you from the inside. He was dead set that he said his grandma was a zookeeper and warned him of this. When I and a friend proved him wrong, he just walked away and said nothing ever since. Watch out for bag worms.

That I went skydiving with a bear thumbnail takes the cake! Brings humor to a very dark matter. I recently went no contact with a former confidant of mine. It was painful for me to finally have to do again, but I couldn't stand the cognitive dissonance of dealing with such a weirdo anymore!

I think that my friend's partner is a pathological liar. 1-4 and 6 describe him perfectly. Every time he opens his mouth and tells a story I'm left feeling like there's absolutely no way that is true. And whenever somebody tries to call him out or correct him, he gets super defensive.
