If someone told you they were a pathological lier would you believe them?

Question

Thanks Special... you're right it is liar, I guess that is what spell check is for... oops lol

Answer 1

I've never told a lie in my life.
You do believe me don't you?
Would I lie to you baby, would I liiee to yoouuuu.

Answer 2

No, why should I, They would be in a minority of one, and thus I would ignore them. However if one of my trusted friends said that to me, I would take notice, and check my behaviour.

A pathological liar is someone who often embellishes his or her stories in a way that he or she believes will impress people. It may be that a pathological liar is different from a normal liar in that a pathological liar believes the lie he or she is telling to be true—at least in public—and is "playing" the role. He or she sometimes is seen to have a serious mental problem that needs to be rectified.

It is not clear, however, that this is the case. It could also be that pathological liars know precisely what they are doing. Making up stories and at the same time believing them is known as confabulation. The term "pathological liar" is not an official clinical diagnosis however psychiatrists may agree that pathological lying is often the result of a mental disorder or low self-esteem.

Asking deep questions that have no clear answer, is a form of trying to impress those whom have not heard such questions before. Are you a pathological tryer?

Answer 3

If a tree falls in the woods and no one is there to hear it will it make a sound? Which came first the chicken or the egg? Can God create a rock so heavy that he can't lift it?

These are all examples of the type of question you are asking, and sure why not believe them? It's better to be safe than sorry.

Answer 4

A pathological liar, is somebody who can't help themselves. The inference is they can't tell the distinction between good and incorrect: ie they dont be attentive to its incorrect to lie. usually whilst human beings call others a pathological liar, they dont mean it in this strictly literal or scientific experience, they only mean the guy is often telling lies. That of direction is carefully subjective.

Answer 5

Depend who told me a doctor may be anyone else NO.
A pathological lier would sus out the liers themselves as they are clever but not to the extent of fooling a pyscologist. lol

Answer 6

It would be out of character to tell me that, but it would be necessary for them to say it if they wanted me to know that they were a pathological lier.

Answer 7

Ah, good question...
If he/she lies all the time, you can't believe him/her...
But then again, if he/she tells the truth, you should believe him/her at that time, but not anymore after...
God! It's too early to find the right thing to do!!!

One personal experience, now...
I have a friend at work, who told me he's inventing things all the time. & now, I always wonder if he's saying the truth... Like the other day, was he sincere when he wished me a Happy Birthday???

Answer 8

yes. people tell you those things for a reason. I have found that crazy people will admit to it, if only because they are crazy and don't know not to tell. and those liars may be having a moment of sympathy, and want to save you from themselves. So yes. And then I stay away from them.

Answer 9

I think that might be the one true thing a pathological liar might say!!

Answer 10

You spelled liar wrong, and yes I would. They might be warning me, and they might not always lie, take everything they say in and decipher it so you can see if they really are lying.
