My friend he is living a lie. He will lie about the most simple things to people. He even lies about his name, age, anything you can think of....he has told a lie about it. I ask him why he is the way he is and he says he has been doing it since he was a child and he is so used to it....he also says it's fun to switch up the lie too. I think he needs help because I don't want our friendship to end..we have been friends since childhood, and im getting real sick of his stupid lies! What should I do?

YES!My own sister lives a lie..I have a pretty disfunctional family.A grand father that cheated,followed by my mother who cheats and a sister who also cheats...although she continues to lie and act like she isnt and never has and this hurts...it hurts a lot more becasue she is living a lie and lying to herself and family and friends and the sad thing is i know the exact truth and everyone believes her lies.She constatly makes others believe she isnt this person when she is... i really wish certain people wouldnt believe her lies and figure out the pieces to this puzzle.I mean she went as far as saying she had gotten a job some where about 4 hrs away just so she can have this ongoing relationship.And now her husband soon to be x husband has to suffer and she is still coming out to look like she has never did this and the sad thing is i feel so bad for him and her for lying.She is now seperated from her soon to be x....my point is enough is enough just come out and tell the truth.I dont know how you can lie so much that you believe your own lies....i hope it gets her deep inside.Now i think her soon to be x ..believes her she is so munipliating.I dont understand.I am sure if she had to lie about her own name she would....wouldnt put it past her.I love her but it hurts becasue i know she is lying and i cant prove it well i can but i am not that kind of person i want people to see for them self.I have recently fought with her and we currently arent speaking which i am happier...becasue i hate lies...it is your choice.If you cant convince your friend to stop lying then why be there friend who knows if he is telling you lies.

This is really difficult because I used to hang out with one of these types of people. It got to the point where he was lying so much that he was hurting other people. He would lie about anything and everything just to make him feel good about himself. In every situation, he would make himself look good by telling us a story or facts about himself that were completely untruthful! And he would believe the lies he told! It was weird!
But anyway, most of us kind of weeded him out of our lives because we couldn't stand being around him anymore because he lied so much. As far as I know, he is still struggling with it severely and is going into therapy for it.
I don't know what to tell you....maybe you should just confront him and tell him whats going on! It's only going to get worse!!!

Yes, I know someone who lies for a living and that is my cousin, she is a lawyer. As for your "friend" .... Hmm I would drift from him if I were you because a man is judged by the company he keeps and your friends should describe who you are and if youre not a liar then you dont need a friend like him. Youre supposed to trust your friends but how can you trust someone who cant even tell the truth!

ABSOLUTELY! Great question. My ex lives a lie everywhere that they travel. But I know the truth and can always figure the next move before they do. People who do this will eventually get caught and then the embarrassment shall shine through! I hope your friend your friend figures out that he has to love himself. Perhaps its low self esteem that causes him to constantly feel that he has to change up his persona!

You guys have been friends since childhood, so let him know that he doesnt have to lie to you for any given reason. You will still be his friend regardless what he has to say. Good, bad or ugly...

My friend
He is your friend for a very long time getting ride of that habit wont be easy, you have to take things in a cool way. You have to be used to it, and dont also stop advicing him for good.
Wishing you the Best.

Lie back to him to the point where it stings...HARD...maybe he'll realized that he doesn't like being lied to.
Or he may have that sickness where people constantly lie. He might have to see some help. Especially since you said he's been doing it since he was a kid.

Tell him to pursue a career in politics - sounds like he will have a real knack at it as lying is the most important skill for politicans.
