A pathological liar could be a psychopath, but statistically speaking he is probably just narcissistic and/or ASPD (sociopath). Psychopaths are the extreme version of ASPD. Essentially it is someone who intentionally causes trauma to another.
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.
like any other trash.......out on the curb and call the dump truck.
A mixed-methods approach would be beneficial, combining quantitative surveys to gather objective data on lying behavior and its impact, along with qualitative interviews to explore personal experiences, emotions, and motivations behind the lying behavior. This approach can provide a comprehensive understanding of the phenomenon and its impact on relationships.

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.
It would be nice if there were! The only treatment for pathological lying is therapy. Unfortunately, most pathological liars are not interested in being cured. They do not think there is anything wrong with them.
whats the difference.? once they give you two lies. dump him .don't let him get to 3. I was with a pathological liar and a scum bag. they never stop lying . I wasted my life for 6 years.
They just keep lying about everything, everytime and start believing their own lies too.
No, being a pathological liar does not make you more susceptible to becoming a gambler. Lying and gambling are two totally separate entities. But they might overlap. For instance, a gambler may lie to cover up his gambling habits. But a liar might not be a gambler at all.

In the long run does it really matter if this person is a pathological liar and, if you do not have real proof then there is no point. The only reason you should be concerned is if this person is doing business and lying about their money or if they are cheating others out of their money and if that is the case seek legal advice. Pathological liars will hang themselves with their own tongue.
