I have a family member with this problem and it's certainly "eye-opening" to get some clarity on such a strange problem. <BR/><BR/>I wonder where the ROOTS of pathological lying come from...surely they start as a small child? I know in my case the family member I'm talking about lied even as a small child. *groan*<BR/><BR/>Good post, Linda D!Have Myelin?https://www.blogger.com/profile/15180457748501693989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38895750.post-53423514943852300432008-08-17T10:36:00.000-07:002008-08-17T10:36:00.000-07:00Wow, that "liar" needs to get a life.

What they did was incredibly mean-spirited and cold toward a person who already had enough on their plate. This does not jade me but it does piss me off.<BR/><BR/>I am also an existentialist and if this is how someone sees their purpose they are really missing the point!Denver Refashionistahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17681030016057155728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38895750.post-7603038332523294902008-08-17T07:01:00.000-07:002008-08-17T07:01:00.000-07:00I've personally known a pathological liar (related...I've personally known a pathological liar (related), but did not realize many of the lies were untrue. Very natural and convincing. Interestingly this person thought that others were clever liars and feigners which led to doubts spread through relatives regarding one's autoimmune diagnosis (not me, and not MS) which is often illusive as well.<BR/><BR/>Unfortunately I tended to believe the liar and doubted the truth-sayer. Talk about a head trip when all of that came to light (triangulation anyone?). I questioned many times the "why would anyone lie about that?" often for things which simply didn't seem to matter. No need to lie about it.<BR/><BR/>The lies of pathological liars (at least the one or two I've known well) seldom make sense in that they seem completely unnecessary. And if you go so far as to try to show that you can see the evidence of the truth, the liar can become rather dangerous and volatile. Best to leave it be sometimes.<BR/><BR/>Your explanation of the need to belong and be accepted (without requirements) is excellent. Give understanding and compassion but also protect your own emotional attachments and gullibility, I say.<BR/><BR/>thank you for this excellent post.Lisa Emrichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10862232056342347990noreply@blogger.com
