is it possible 4 someone to be so much a liar that they actually believe what they are saying is true?

Answer 1

i dont think so.

Answer 2

Yes there is a term for it pathological liars...

A chronic (compulsive, pathological) liar is someone who lies about things for no apparent reason. They will lie about small, irrelevant details as well as important matters. For chronic liars, lying is a habit and everything is fair game.

Unfortunately, there is not much to be gained by confronting a compulsive liar (see, coping with a compulsive liar). They will just keep lying and an already strained relationship will most likely take a turn for the worse.

On the other hand, no one is above lying altogether. In fact, most people are situational liars. Certain aspects of our romantic relationships and common situations tend to bring out the worst in our behavior (see, when people lie).

And it can be difficult to effectively deal with a spouse, or boyfriend or girlfriend, who only lies on occasion.

Unfortunately, many of the things people do when confronting a liar only make matters worse....

Answer 3

Yes I do. The thing is with liars they usually don't have very good memories and often trip themselves up with their lies. I know someone who totally lives a life of lies, but he forgets what he's said over half the time. He does actually believe all the drivel he spouts. He even tells people he was once a millionaire and has convinced himself he lived the lifestyle.

Answer 4

Yes , I will tell a little story ,
My x husband and I made up a lie and told it to every one there was a reason that we felt we needed to tell this lie at the time,
several years later my husband was still telling this lie to every one ,
I said to him one day , why do you keep telling this lie it has no purpase any more
, he swore up and down it was not a lie, that we really dd this thing ,
I could not convince him otherwise ,,
He had told this lie so many times he now believed it to be true ,
but I knew it was a lie because I helped him make it up.
It kinda opened my eyes about some thing about human nature

Answer 5

Yes it is I once knew a guy who told everyone that he was in the SAS, the only army experience he had had was he was in the Territorial army for a short time. He then got in trouble with the police and ended up in court, when asked for his profession he said he was in the SAS when asked to prove this he actually went to look for his army papers that did not exist. He then went back to the court and told them the SAS must have removed the papers from his home because his work was secret. His family stood in court and could not believe what they were hearing him say, but he truly believed it himself.

Answer 6

Yes, it certainly does happen. My ex was exactly like that, i left him because of abuse which included him kicking off for something on me or the kids, then when you tell him what he said or did, he said "no, it wasnt like that" and would proceed to tell me exactly how it was to his way of thinking. For example, when i left him, i left all mine and the kids stuff at the house. I had 5 years of mental abuse from him to me and my son. When i had to start dealing with him again so that i could leave my stuff there til i was rehomed - was in refuge for 6 months - i thought "no, he isnt going to control me again" so i went in with a smile on my face as if i didnt hate the b******d, and with people other than my close friends and family i started to say things like "it was too much stress after the accident, we were both so angry". Now he actually believes that it was just a case of the accident was too much for us. Just yesterday we were talking about someone who was a head-worker, mind game player, control freak etc and he turned round to me, seriously and said "at least i wasnt like that, was i?" - What????? thats exactly why i left him. He twists things in his mind, and ends up believing his own lies.

Answer 7

The only way that a truly genuine,bonafied,government inspected,died in the wool,guaranteed,authentic,congenital LIAR can really be successfully and convincing in any prevarication,is for that individual to be able to believe that what they say is actually correct. My daddy used to tell me,,,,,"you can't sell what you ain't got".

Answer 8

I'm not sure I would have called him a liar. But he did have lapses in his memory, and for those he would try to "fill in the blanks", believing his version to be truth.
To answer your question simply, I would say yes.

Answer 9

yes and its basically an obsessive and psychological problem. not always a bad thing, but once you are obsessed with doing it its hard to stop. i found myself doing it a lot at one point because it was easier to make things up about my past rather than admit what actually happened. i had the choice to fill in the gaps with lies to make it seem better and it helped stop me feeling depressed by the truth. to the point where i believed my own lies. its a horrible situation to put yourself in.

Answer 10

OOOOOOH YEESSSSSS!

I actually married a girl who described every aspect of a flight, holiday, friends, where she went, the condition of the pool, the weather and scenery in minutia to myself and countless others.
As loads of other complete fabrications came to light I by chance discovered she had never once left the city she was born in, yet she still denied it until she was confronted by her mum.

Scary sh!t. By the time we were divorced the only thing I was confident I knew about her was her name.

Answer 11

this describes most people. Most lies are not intentional, people just don't know what truth is. The usual way to learn is to have someone TELL you. Like school.. If you research alone you find totally different answers and other people will think you are mad/dangerous!!!
