Pathological lying, also known as mythomania and pseudologia fantastica, is the chronic behavior of compulsive or habitual lying. Unlike telling the occasional white lie to avoid hurting someone's feelings or getting in trouble, a pathological liar seems to lie for no apparent reason.;Pathological liars: Everything you need to know

 

If a group of Pathological liars shared their lies, would they be facts?

 

I wouldn't say I'm a liar but I have told a lie before... usually to spare someone's feelings. I almost wonder if it is possible to get through life with never telling at least a little white lie

 

Fortunately, neither type of liar is common, according to Feldman and Ekman. Ekman estimates fewer than 5 percent of people lie compulsively or pathologically but there are some liars who even have it written all over their faces.

We all can lie.

Have I ever lied? Yes. Am I a ''liar''? No. I think the difference being, that I felt badly having lied before...even over something silly and minor. It was never anything big, but it made me feel remorseful for having lied at all. I've dated guys who were what I'd consider to be pathological liars, when the easiest option was to be truthful, they'd lie. And for those types, I think they believe their own lies...as they are likely narcissists.

 

I try to be honest as much as possible. c:
