Is it possible to be friends with a sociopath or a pathological liar?

Answer 1

Nope. By deffinition they are incapable of returning friendship. Friendship is a two way street. It starves when traffic is only one way or the other. Sociopaths (Pathological liars are symptomatic of sociopaths, so it's really a symptom. Cannot think of a pathological liar which was not also a sociopath) are incapable of friendship. People are objects to them for manipulation and usage. Thus the lies. Enjoyment in life comes from not sharing anything but in getting their way and is %100 self centered. Selfless acts by sociopaths are purely means to satisfy a less open need by the sociopath and not in any way selfless. There is a purpose behind it, if you dig deep enough you'll discover it.

Attempts to befriend or help a sociopath will lead to being stabbed in the back %100 of the time if you are not constantly on your guard and constantly aware of their condition. Most sociopaths will display their condition with frequent lies and manipulations. They also tend to be some of the most charming people out there. Frequently politicians, leaders, charismatic people. Most serial killers for example lured rather than captured their prey. They had the ability to talk rational people into dangerous situations and disarm concerns about those circumstances. Sociopaths are quite capable of murder and quite willing to commit it if they feel they can gain from it and get away with it. Remember people are not people to them. People are about as real as cardboard cutouts are to others. The thinness and incompleteness of a sociopath's soul might well lead them to be jealous of people. Thus the random vengence aspect of the condition.
