AnswerNo. It's a facade...lol

***********

They do to a degree. In actuality, narcissists have very little, if any, genuine self-knowledge and spend an enormous amount of emotional energy on creating the perfect image behind which to hide. It's a lot of work to live in complete denial of reality and they expect adulation for it.

AnswerFrom my own experience in dealing with my N-sister, I have come to theorize that the first person she lies to is herself.

Imagine a group of facts going through Creative in the marketing department of a business. Once the final product is in the form of a fairly plausible story, one which the author can even believe herself, she can then pitch it to others with conviction, and a sense of justification.

I really don't know with any certainty, but that's how I've made any sense out of it.

No, typically pathological liars are not not aware of the fact that they are lying constantly. And, often times they believe their own lies. However, we can't mix pathological liars with diagnosed disorder with a person who lies to protect himself/herself.


Does a pathological liar make a person think that another person in their lie is a patholigcal liar?

Yes, it it fairly common for a pathological liar try to make another person in their lie appear to be the pathological liar. A pathological liar does not like being caught in their lies and may try to set the stage for someone else to take the blame. Some pathological liars believe their own lies and may try to blame someone else for a false statement so that they can continue to believe their own lie.

Are any of your ideas really your own?

That's a hard question to answer, but really it depends on how you define "your own" Most things that have been created in this world, especially music, and other artistic pursuits, have been influenced by different things, stories, the earth, and even other things that have been created before. So in essence, there aren't really any ideas that you create yourself from nothing, something has to be there to trigger it, but when you develop that small spark of an idea, create it stronger than the original spark, that's when it becomes your own.


Who are pathological liars?

While virtually everyone may tell a lie at times, for various practical reasons, a pathological liar is a mentally ill person who feels compelled to lie even when the lies do not serve any useful purpose. Such people also may base their entire strategy of survival upon an endless series of lies. Pathological liars typically appear to be very sincere when they are lying, and may be very deceptive. They feel no embarrassment about what they do.

Does a liar believe his own lies?

It depends on the liar. Some people who weave multiple lies around themselves might get lost in the fantasy that they are real and convince themselves of them. This is more likely to be the case if the lies are to make themselves look better than they are or feel more important. It is less likely in the case of someone simply lying to get out of trouble. For instance if someone lies and says they were at work while they were really cheating on a spouse, its highly unlikely that they believe this lie. But if someone says they are well traveled when they have never left their town, they might, after telling multiple stories about their adventures, start to feel and believe them, themselves. One set of lies is purely selfish. The other is mainly based on low self esteem.

Is Chad kroeger a cheater and a liar?

Absolutely!! He can't hold a relationship to save his life. Typical scum bag rock star. Haha, this is what it says about Chad in the Urban Dictionary....A narcissistic pathological liar with sociopathic tendencies. Has a tendency to tell stories that are completely untrue to perpetuate lies about people he claims are his friends and lies about his own life to ellicit emotions, like sympathy and envy, from his friends. He is intelligent enough that it takes a while to catch on to his lies. Often, there is no point to his lies - he tells them just to tell them. That guy is such a Chad. I can't believe we didn't question his lies! So true...so true!
