What is the difference between a compulsive liar and a chronic liar? Is a compulsive liar aware of the lies?

Answer 1

Unless someone has a delusional disorder (such as what would be seen in scizophrenia or mania) they are aware of their lying and mistruths. Both are aware yes.

A compulsive liar is someone who decides to lie on a whim for the sake of story or ease. The lies are not planned out, as somoene would do if they were trying to cover something up purposefully. The compulsive liar shouldn't be that hard to catch since their story will change consistently, even tell different lies to get a better story.

A chronic liar is someone who had an obsession, so to speak, about lying. They have gotten into the habit where they feel out of place not lying and therefore continue with their habitual lies. As with any chronic habit it will be hard to break.

Answer 2

Yes a compulsive lier is aware ,, that they are lying ,, but they feel that they are no one without stretching the truth ,, they believe it herts no one to feed the whole world a story.. a cronic lier is almost one in the same as a compulsive lier . neather one realize that a bunney that hops around is very cute but one that can dance is a cartoon that we have all seen and TV is much more intertaining then listening to them ramble on and on about a fairytail that no one believes even if we say we do ...
