Yes, it it fairly common for a pathological liar try to make another person in their lie appear to be the pathological liar.

Is there a mental illness When a person believes their lies?

Yes it is called Pathological Liar or Compulsive Liar. If someone is lying to gain something whether it be admiration, power, money, etc. this is a Pathological Liar. If someone is lying about everything even small details or changes stories around for no apparent reason this is a Compulsive Liar. I personally think both are dangerous and both can and/or will lie for some sort of gain. Usually a Compulsive Liar will lie, know it's a lie, and actually believe it. A Pathological Liar might know they are lying and not necessarily believe it but will defend it. Hope this helped.

Can a pathological liar pass a polygraph test?

In many cases, a pathological liar actually believes what they are sayingis true. This is a severmental disorderwhichrequires in-depth therapy. In that case, I believe it is possible for the lie to go undetected. Still, there are differences in opinion as to whether a pathological liar actually knows that what they are saying is indeed a lie. In other words, some would say the pathological liarknows that what they are saying is a lie, but can not help themselves and therefore state the lie. In this case, I believe the lie would be detected. AnswerYes some people can beat the lie detector test because it's not 100% accurate. As the above poster said a pathological liar may beat it, and also a well-trained person who controls their mind and heart rate can also beat it. There is experimentation's in the Army where soldiers are trained to beat any method of obtaining information. The brain is a wonderful thing.

What is the technical name for habitual liar?

In medical terminology, one would call that "pathological". Pathology is a general term meaning a disease process. Someone who lies frequently without any reason would be called a pathological liar. For instance, if your boss asked you what time you arrived at work and your work time started at 8:00 a.m. and you knew you were late and said 8:00 anyway, that would not be pathological. In this case, you lied to protect yourself from being reprimanded, fired, etc. Pathological liars just lie, even when there is no good reason to do so; i.e., nothing to gain and nothing to lose. This is due to some type of deeper psychological problem. RG
