Answer 2

I have been "best friends" with a person of this nature for a very long time now. About ten years. In this time you can believe that I studied and scrutinized this girl to no end. Mostly on a discreet level, of course. She has a few distinct characteristics that intrigue me. Lying is a second nature to her, it is done without thought. I am pretty sure that sometimes she does not realize she's lying. And I'm also pretty sure that she believes the majority of her own lies, which makes it easier to quickly cook up more lies to cover past lies. This girl is an absolute pathological liar. A marvel to science. I'm a psychology major and I'm pretty sure I'll keep her around forever, though always at a distance.
And in direct answer to your question. This happens on a neurological level. Nothing more than chemistry possesses a pathological liar to lie the way they do.

Answer 3

I used to be that way. But then I turned 13 and actually got some pu$$y. Ten years later, no one believes me when I tell them about the amount of pu$$y I've received thus far in my life, and I don't know whether that's because I used to be a chronic liar or because they're just jealous of how hunky I am.

Could be several reasons. They may be a pathological lier and cannot help themselves. More than likely they have low self esteem and lie to make themselves seem bigger/better.
