Thread: Pathological Liar

i know of a few.
one is a friend of mine but we were friends for so long i know what is and isnt with her. she will lie all the time but then you find out what is actually the truth in a short time b/c she is bad at covering up her lies and forgets what she said. thats just sad period. she also lies and makes up excuses for sleeping around and then wonders why people call her names. and one lie she uses when she does that is: i blacked out.
another is a person i used to know. i no longer am friends with b/c she lies to make her way happen. she turns things around, she makes things up, and its all for her selfish greed. to get what she wants. she will cause problems between friends for who she talks to most that month, to break up relationships so she can obtain her needs, her desires, and who she seeks.

how to deal with these liars, well first off, can you be with them is the first question. if you dont mind being lied to all the time or once in a while. then deal with it.
if you can understand they mnight be a great person itself and can accept that they lie, than keep them in your life.
if you know that one day they will lie to or about you, and you want none of it, leave before they do you in and cause all sorts of trouble.
this boils down to can you handle it?

i worked for a woman that lied about everything, it was freaky, also totally unnecessary. i found another job and left, i couldnt deal with it. i would love to ask her why she does it, but alas i lacked the courage.

I had a friend like this in high school and we would call her a hamburger - hotdog liar, if you asked her what she'd had for lunch she'd tell you a hamberger with a hotdog wrapper in her hand lol. She would lie where there was nothing to gain from the lie, I don't even think she could help it.

Some people lie to make themselves look good and those are just plain old liars in my opinion, but pathological liars I have no idea if they are aware they are lying or not.

Dating one would be chaos I would imagine, trust is key in any relationship so it would be a mess.

We confronted the high school friend on too many occasions to count about her lies and she would act genuinly suprised at the accusations each and every time. Getting caught in her lies didn't ever lead her to appologize, she'd just move right on to the next lie.
