I am not aware of any specific studies but I can tell you that pathological liars suffer from antisocial personality disorder (also called sociopathy). In relationships, these people are draining and parasitic and should be avoided at all costs. They are experts at charming even the smartest and most intuitive people. In relationships, a sociopath sees a target --someone they can use and exploit. Sadly everyone is a potential target to a sociopath because we all have weaknessess and the sociopath is a master at exploiting a person's weakness for their own personal gain. They lie, lie, lie! I think many believe their own lies but its hard to tell because a real sociopath probably won't admit to it. The net is just brimming with information on this topic. One exceptionally helpful site is www.lovefraud.com. It explains the disorder as well as providing legal/personal advice on how to deal with such people. The site also contains a forum in which victims of sociopaths may share their personal experiences and offer guidance and support to one another. Of course the DSM (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual) is the official source of information for any pathology and should be consulted for a deeper understanding of the pathological liar and his/her interactions with others.

How can you get him to admit to things you already found when he is a pathological liar?

There is not much one can do if their partner is a pathological liar. Pathological liars know they are liars, but cannot seem to find a way of breaking this bad habit. Often pathological liars have low self esteem and can dramatize certain scenario's to make themselves seem self important and while this may work for a little while it does not fool many people. Pathological liars also have a difficult time in relationships and will lie about simple things they have done and will not own up to it. You can either put up with a partner who is a pathological liar or leave the relationship and the latter is the best way to go because you will find it difficult to believe them and once lied too it breaks the bond of trust between the two people and the relationship will eventually end.


Define pathological lier?

A pathological liar is usually defined as someone who lies incessantly to get their way and does so with little concern for others. Pathological lying is often viewed as a coping mechanism developed in early childhood and it is often associated with some other type of mental health disorder, such as antisocial personality disorder or sociopathy. A pathological liar is often goal-oriented (i.e., lying is focused - it is done to get one's way). Pathological liars have little regard or respect for the rights and feelings of others. They often come across as being manipulative, cunning and self-centered. Nonetheless, if combined with sociopathic tendencies, they can be charming and superficially extremely likable people. Perfect con artists.


How do you correct pathological lying?

Answer Pathological lieing is often difficult to correct and can take years of hard work but it can be done. Usually, it requires professional help and lots of moral support to overcome. There are several basic steps to overcome this disorder, the first being that the patient realises that they do have this disorder and that it needs correcting. if nothing is ever done, the disorder can take over the persons life causing them to lose relationships and many other important things in their life.

What should you do if you've been married to a pathological liar for 3 years and you recently answered a call from your husband's friend asking if you were over your operation but you never had one?

Pathological liars are like run away locomotives. They just can't stop! It's an illness and usually learned from childhood. Some children may have extremely strict parents, are made to feel stupid, unproductive, etc., and so, when asked if they did something they shouldn't have done will lie. The more under-lying factor about pathological liars is they have no self esteem and feel they need to dramatize their situation to look more important in the eyes of their peers. Pathological liars need therapy! I have talked to a couple of pathological liars and they openly admit they know they are doing it, feel really bad, but can't seem to stop. Unfortunately, men are usually very bad at seeking help for themselves, while if you bring this problem up to a woman who is a pathological liar they almost always will go and seek help through therapy to get to the bottom of why they do this. I would suggest that you sit and talk to your husband. Tell him about his friend phoning about that operation, and tell him it's "not normal" to act in this way. Ask him (mainly out of curiosity) why he would lie to his friend like that. Tell him if he doesn't go to a good therapist ( you go with him) and seek help you are leaving! Mean it! Good luck Marcy

Is there a mental problem that makes people lie?

Although it is not a recognized disorder in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, yes, there is a mental condition called pathological lying. This condition is also referred to as compulsive lying, pseudologia fantastica and mythomania. Pathological liars will tell stories that may be a "false" memory, or a fantasy. They lie out of fear, to intimidate others, as a form of self defense, or to hide the truth. A sufferer of the condition will also lie for no personal gain whatsoever. Their lies are often transparent or have no obvious point. Pathological liars often truly believe what they are saying and are in fact, victims of the condition. They can exhibit superficial (fake) charm and have a grandiose sense of self-worth. Currently, there is no cure for the condition and no medications to treat it. In fact, compared to other mental disorders, there has been little testing and research done on pathological lying.
