Yes, pathological liers do know that they are lieing, although sometimes the lie does get to the extreme and to the point where they can begin to believe thier lie. But most of the time they do know that they are lieing.

Are pathological liars aware of their condition?

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.


What signs are there for pathological liars?

Signs of pathological liars may include consistent lying without guilt or remorse, difficulty distinguishing between truth and lies, manipulation of others for personal gain, and a history of deception and deceit across different situations. It is important to note that only a mental health professional can diagnose pathological lying.


Do pathological liars have feelings of guilt?

Pathological liars may not experience feelings of guilt in the same way as others because they often lack empathy and may have a pattern of deceit. However, some may still experience guilt if their lies harm others or if they are caught in a lie. This can vary depending on the individual and the underlying reasons for their lying behavior.


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.


What is a propulsive Liar?
