At my job I work with this guy who for one, talks too much. Not only that, he lies about silly things, things that are not even nessesary to lie about. Like he said he was a piano player and he's a trainer for guys who want to be bouncers at bars and clubs. He said he was married last week, and then the following week he must of forgot he told me cuz now he's single with 3 kids instead of 2...Am I the only one who works with people who constantly BS? What is the deal

For one thing, to be a good liar, he should have a great memory. This is the down fall of many a liar. Conflicting fabrications of fact. Many of them have low self esteem and try to control their environment to create an image of great success, knowledge, abilities, etc. to fit in or impress others. Most of us would rather earn an achievement because it is so fulfilling. Liars, on the other hand, take the shortcut by just using false statements. This deprives them of the satisfaction of success and in turn they are the ones who know the real truth, thus the low self esteem. This creates a vicious circle of repetition.

This is a person who's got away with lying there whole life. This person doesn't believe that they are doing something wrong. I would just ignore this person, because being around a liar is very frustrating. I wonder how he teaches his kids, if he has any? Or you can just laugh it off and not say anything; but you know in the back of your mind he is a 'story teller'.

He is a recovered psychotic but could relapse mentally if he had close friends that could depress him. Depression for bad expectations will destroy the brain and body . He can keep maintenance as he expects to be rejected . Most in life wear a mask and are acting out perfection . Their group is secret and they want outsiders to not watch. These winners are aggressive towards the outsiders and sometimes just lying will keep you away.

people with psychopathic tendencies are often compulsive liars.. and are often very good at it. psychopaths are actually all around us in our daily lives. sometimes their lies are based on what they wish their reality to be, but often they lie just because they can, and they like to see what they can get away with and who they can fool. if i was you, i'd just nod, refuse to make eye contact, say uh huh, uh huh a few times, then walk away as quickly as you can. hopefully he'll eventually get the message that you are neither fooled nor interested.

Chronic lying is a major sign of child abuse, but it's also a sign of low self esteem.
