It all depends on what your definition is of a liar, as well as the person you are talking to.

Ah, a mild variation of the Cretan liar paradox.
R. Smullyan, the logician, has examined this type of question over the years. If I remember correctly, you could be lying if you said you were lying if you mistakenly believed that you were a liar.

How would I know? You just told me you were a liar.

This is one of those impossible questions. If you are a liar who said, I am a liar, that means that what you really meant was you aren't a lier, which is impossible if you are a liar.

If it's true that you are a liar, then you are telling the truth. Would I trust you after that info? No.

Hi,
In this case. I think you have possibility lie me. but maybe you still have some side in your heart that you really not meant if lie to me. that's why sometimes a peson will tell that I'm a liar dont believe me anyway. since maybe you are falling in love or you feel regret if you lie to that person.
That's my opinion, since in some moment I feel that too. and I will said that.
Cheers!!

No. Most liars confess eventually.

Not necessarily, but what you would be is unreliable. Which is the real solution to the classic liars' paradox.

Behind every lie, there's a reason not to tell the truth.
