This is truly a hard hitting piece of info.
Thanks.
I am going to show it to my daughter and 3 of my sisters.
I know my daughter is only 10 years of age, but she needs to learn the problems when you lie to someone.
When 3 of my 6 sisters lie to me, it makes me feel like what did I do to deserve this ?
The 3 sister who lied to me I refuse to have anything to do with them because they are bad examples for me, my husband, my 2 kids, and my 1 cat. Hey, the cat is a part of the family.
Spot our family cat will let you know if he does not like you.
He is a very particular cat. He is a very affectionate cat.
I know that I am not perfect. FAR FROM PERFECT. Of course i haved lied then I feel bad, then I go back to that very person who I lied to and then I do not say "Hey I am sorry." I ask for forgiveness with a sincere atitude.
I know how it feels to be lied to. It hurts very deeply. When I have that deep not very happy feeling then it ruins my day and others' feelings. This is also a way to lose respect of that person.

This article has brought tears to mhy eyes. I feel completely stuck in my ways and I have lost someone very dear to me because of this. She would have never know I was lying to her for the amount of time I was lying to her for. My guilty conscience forced me to admit to her the truth about me. I truly wish I had never done that. I lost my first love and I feel so lost. I must admit that to this day I still havent stopped lying and I have prayed for help. My soul is crying out for help…please someone i need answers ands help. So I may never lose another love again. I lost my bestfriend and sould mate all in one. I will never be the same after this

Very informative, i was engaged to a compulsive liar and found out she was lying about 80 percent of who she really was. Its quite disturbing how someone could lie so well to myself and my entire family for a year and half. Even after i told her i would still go through with the engagement and loved her she was so defensive she threatened to call the cops. And i had 120 percent evidence of lies.

I have recently moved to the same town as my sister and I have discovered that she is a compulsive liar. Naturally I am curious to know more about this behavior and your article really hit the nail on the head. She is very defensive when I call her on a lie and she cries at will which is very strange to see. I wish to maintain a relationship with her as she is my sister, but I will never trust her again, nor will I ever believe anything that she has to say. It’s unfortunate, but things like that happen.

Thanks for this. My husband has lied to me and many others (family and friends included)on several occassions. I always forgive him and try to move on even though he does it time and time again (Sounds stupid I know….but what happened to “forgive and forget” AND we are all human and do make some mistakes along the way so I tend to forgive with the idea that the person will learn from their mistakes)
Now that he is realising how difficult it is for him to tell the truth he is getting caught up in guilt and confusion …and the lies continue. He has been showing these exact signs that you have mentioned (especially the crying) and I always land up feeling sorry for him, trying to support him and find help for his possible depression. What am I to do but run away and protect myself from the next lie?

I see this in me. I am a chronic liar and I admit it. Well, at least to the web. Is there any way to treat such a condition? @_@

All too true. Since i’m a compulsive liar, it’s pretty easy for me to know.
