My friend keeps lying and denys it's a lie (even though it's obvious or even when theres proof). He has left and pretending he's on a ship, when he wasn't. He tells people crazy things like he killed someone, his dad is a millionaire. One thing after another. The thing is EVERYONE including me, plays alone with it all because he acts like it's true, you tell him it can't be true and he stresses it is even more, making more things up, and you feel sorry for him. How should i confront him about it?? serious answers only please

If you do confront him make sure it is in a place where you can get away fast in case he decides he wants to hurt you. The best thing you can do is try to talk to him calmly and do not judge him but I wouldn't keep playing along with his lies. Tell him straight that if he is going to talk about that type of thing you just cannot talk to him anymore. You need to talk him into getting help for himself, something is very wrong.

No, a compulsive liar isn't immediately a cheater too. except of direction they have cheated and lied approximately it...then upload cheater to the checklist. i've got discovered that compulsive liars lie with the aid of fact they rather have faith their lives at the instant are not something thrilling to talk approximately...which regularly ability they have incredibly low self esteems. i comprehend it reasons anger, frustration and discomfort, yet making that individual comprehend the movements of their lies, basically encourages them to lie extra so as that they spare the emotions of those around them. i comprehend it sounds ordinary, besides the shown fact that that is authentic. think of approximately it, might you rather tell your pal that they appear like crap...or seek for some thing intense high quality to declare? whether you could make it up. maximum liars commence off with those little lies to spare emotions, then it purely will become habit. in case you prefer to break the habit, concentration on the honesty...whether that's the main mundane of a component. The extra pastime you instruct in what certainty that individual surely tells, the extra probable that individual would be to share the reality. And right it incredibly is yet another factor to contemplate. image your self as a toddler who purely have been given into worry. we've all been there and we've all lied to spare the effect of a stupid action. If this individual is familiar with which you would be mad approximately some thing he/she has executed...you will get a lie. in case you react in yet in any different case, you would be able to desire to commence getting some certainty. I desire you a ton of persistence honey, you would be wanting it.

I think you should drop him as a friend. He is trying to get attention, and you are all playing right into it.
When he has no friends left, maybe he will see the light!

Your friend has self-esteem issues and he lies to make himself look better to others.
When he lies about something that you know is a lie....just laughingly say...Get out of here....or Come on that's not possible.
Maybe when he sees you're not going to let him get away with it at least with you he'll stop.

Well maybe "he thinks" it's easier for people to become friends with him and want to remain friends if he lies the way he does.
