What if your loved one is a Pathological Liar? How will you help him/her?

[i_am_nikita]

---

People lie for different reasons. Some lie to make themselves appear more successful. Some lie to cover an embarrassing situation or to gain acceptance. Some people lie simply out of a habit that began in early childhood to reduce stress. There is medical evidence that a pathological liar has a different structure in the brain that leads him to lie more often
The affected person might believe their lies to be truth, and may have to create elaborate myths to reconcile them with other facts

If you found out na your loved one/friend kay pathological liar but you wanted to understand and help him/her?

unsay maayung mga buhaton kng ingon ani ang sitwasyun?

The best way really is to help him avoid lying and stop asking (stupid) invasive questions.
The concept really is don't give him a reason to lie.
To an extent I lie out of habit, but I believe I am lying for the greater good.
I don't think there is an excuse for bad liars though.
Are there bad pathological liars? If there are, it sucks to be them. (Pathetic and pitiful)

Yes, there are bad pathological liars and I know one, he's an officemate of mine. He's got a lot of failed relationships and friendships because he is such a bad liar, that's how bad he is. Almost everyday he lies that he beat a jeepney barker or "konduktor" or the driver himself, or that he disarmed a "holdaper" carrying a pretty long knife. And that he also disarmed a bad guy with a gun. And all other stupid lies that are really2x obvious. I think he can't help it, he just needs to lie because his day is incomplete without lying. He is also a "Mr. know-it-all" type of guy.
