Find yourself a good psychologist and if you are a student and short on money seek out help through your Mental Health Clinic and they will provide you with a psychologist. Usually people that compulsively lie do so because they don't feel their lives is exciting enough, they aren't wordly or they feel inferior. You must have reasons for feeling this way so please seek out some help and being young is a good thing to have on your side. You can get over this! Good luck Marcy Therapudic help is a good resource but it could also lead you down some dead ends. An alternative way to solve this problem is to simply confront it. Confide in yourself, then to a loved one. A middle man is not always the wisest decision. You dont necessarily have to look outward for help. Solving a large scale issue with your own intelligence proves that you amount to a much pricier value. It is important to generally seek guidance, but as far as expecting and constantly leaning towards something other than yourself, kinda beats around the bush. No one can tell you what's between you and your girlfriend, what's inside your relationship or what makes you. Nobody knows you better than you! So use that as your advantage while your digging yourself out of the hole your're buried in.

Do not allow a liar to go unchallenged, when you know the truth confront them directly. Do not trust anything they say and tell them so and why. They are depending on your good reputation to validate their lies. Don't ever try to justify their answers or try to make sense out of them. You will only look like a fool and ruin your respected name. They will play on your love, good manners and innocence. Be strong; don't get drawn in. Don't ruin your reputation. They are career manipulatives who will change every detail and story to fit their needs no matter whom it hurts. They will spend more time trying to con you then being honest. They lie to make themselves look better, make others look less than their best, to swindle those who trust them, and lie just to lie. You can watch them concoct their stories in front of your face. If they are adults, save yourself, you don

There is no easy way to get true compulsive liars to stop lying. Many compulsive behaviors are symptoms of deeper mental disorders and may require professional counseling and/or medication to treat the problem.

It is not easy, you have to have all of the facts at your disposal and be good at debate. It is not an easy task especially if the thing you are arguing about you know to be true however have no evidence. Pick your moment and catch them in their lies. It helps if that compulsive liar is hurting people with his lies, then you can consult others around you and come up with a good way of dealing with the problem. If all else fails you need to look at the nature of your relationship. Family member? hard one. Friend? aquaintance? work coligue? is the lying hurting people or the buisness you work at. If it is in the work place and it effects the workplace you could bring it to light. You need to be careful though and look at the power dynamic. Could you loose your job if they lie about you, these people can be quite cunning. There is no answer for yuor question because there are not enough added variables. Someone that does not know your situation could give you harmful advice.

== == There is always a reason for compulsive lying. Some people lied when they were younger for fear of getting a beating, while others just lied because they were never made responsible for their actions. Others lie because they want to dramatize what they feel is a rather dull life, so, if the option arises they will embellish a great deal on a rather simple thing that happened in their lives to appear more important in the eyes of their peers. People that constantly lie have low self esteem and of course low confidence. The best thing to do is see a psychologist. There need be no drugs involved in working around this problem, so a psychiatrist is not needed. Most people don't realize that a pscyhiatrist studies 95% of their time away in college studying drugs rather than behavioral problems in people, while psychologists study behavioral problems and can't prescribe drugs. This doesn't mean a psychologist isn't a great deal of help and if medications are needed for their patient they will contact your doctor. If the person that is lying is someone you know then only they can help themselves and you can't make them do anything. If you can't deal living with them then you will have to leave them. Good luck Marcy

After being in a relationship with a compulsive liar and having it fall to pieces is it possible for you to become a compulsive liar with more demented feelings as your ex?

It's possible, but because you have separated it means you weren't happy in this relationship so you expect honesty and a lot more while a compulsive liar can't help what they say, but know they are wrong about lying and are either in denial or refuse counseling for their problem. As far as you are concerned it's safe to say that you aren't a compulsive liar and it's best to move on and find someone that is better suited for you. Good luck

How can you tell if you are a compulsive liar?

Usually compulsive liars are not confident individuals and they feel the need to dramatize certain events in their lives to impress others. These are some of the signs of a compulsive liar: If the compulsive liar did something wrong and someone else found out they'd lie their way out of it. Telling others about things in their life that didn't happen. Dramatizing events in their life that didn't go down the way it did. Lying over silly things such as borrowing something from someone and denying they ever had it. Lying about other people. Constantly blaming others for the problems one gets themselves into. These are but a few. If a person has been told they are a compulsive liar they probably are. Compulsive liars often don't mean to be this way, so professional help does help them balance out their lives, face themselves and not be afraid of being who they are or telling the truth and taking the consequences for their own actions.
