Is there like a phsycological disease when people just continously lie? just wondering because i know someone who just wouldn't quit lying, seriously think that someone could make it to the guiness world of record.

Their called a compulsive liar.They think that their lives are boring and have to lie to fill the void. I know one of them too,
it would be a tight race to the finish line if there was such a place in the guiness book.

There are four types of liars. Compulsive, habitual, pathological, and chronic. Pathological are the ones who lie to harm or decieve others, and the other 3 are usually a relatively harmless type of lying that is done out of a basic need to get attention.

OH YA. OH YA. There are quite a number of mental disorders where compulsive lying is a feature: let's begin with:
passive-agressive personality
narcissistic personality disorder
sociopathic personality disorder...
There are more. The list is HUGE.
PS: a mental disorder is by definition a pathology.

there are two things i hate most in this world 1) liars 2) theives) and to me if you are number 1 then you definatly are number 2 and vice versa ....along my journey of life i found a book called "never be lied to again" which shows you diffrent signs of when people lie to you. Ive found along the way if you call them out on the lie EVERY time they eventually stop it takes sadly a LONG time for them to do that

My ex husband was a chronic lier. He would tell a lie when it would be better and easier for him to tell the truth. I don't know if he could have been clinically diagnosed, but he sure did lie alot. It is the #1 reason why he is my EX HUSBAND.

i don't know that it is a disease but i do think it has a lot to do with a low self esteem. why else would someone continually try and say things that were not true if they could deal with the person they were.

I think that it is nutritional, a hair analysis would reveal the minerals that are lacking.
But hey we are all only human and if one sin doesnt suck us in there is always another one that we succumb to ....
Or people are bored and want to spice their life up a bit.

Compulsive liars do, for them, lying is something that gives them satisfaction.
