I'm fascinated and disgusted by the world of the pathological liar. Whether they do it for 'harmless' reasons or deeper darker ones - it still adds up to the same thing for me. Stay away from me, far away.
It's amazing really that they have adapted in such a way that their lies do in fact become the truth - but it's incredible the amount of time and energy they spend keeping things straight - or tyring to keep things straight. But I guess really they don't spend a lot of time on keeping it straight b/c they seem to have no worries at all they will be discovered or called out.
I think that's b/c:
- The lies are so small or so grandiose/horrific/sad that no one dares question b/c surely something like that wouldn't be made up.
- They are likable - almost over the top with their sincerity and compliments but people buy it.
- The person/people they lie to don't compare notes so they can get away with it.
- Someone does compare notes or figures it out on their own and feels too awkward to say anything.
I've got your number liar liar pants on fire...watch out.
