i knew a girl version of these who was smoking hot and her stories were ever grander and more dramatic and elaborate stories of rape and being a nascar driver. everybody just nodded and went "uh huh" and "you poor thing" etc. because they wanted to drill her puss. i chased the booty for a while bc i was young and stupid but then i realized she was bulimic and got grossed out and never saw her again, and also she would not gently caress me.

It's a compulsive defense mechanism. Some people do it because they are assholes, others do it reflexively since it's a learned behavior to cope with the world/their environment since childhood/adolescence and can't help themselves.

I'm fairly sure i'm a pathological liar if only because i've realised I can tell bullshit stories at any club I go to and when I head back i'll hear a "Oh, you're the dude who trained a lion at the zoo! My friend mentioned it! How do you train one?". I mean, I always fess up in the end, but reeling people on for 10-20 minutes will never get old.

I knew someone who affected a British accent for kicks one night. He met a girl and they hit it off. For the 3 months they were dating/loving he would talk in that British accent whenever she was present. It was hilarious.

I can understand why people would make up stories that make them look better, like saying you are friends with a celebrity or bragging about being better off than you actually are. One guy I knew however used to make up ramdom poo poo, like claiming he knew a film he never saw or having had some food he never had. ( I noticed it because the plot of the film was something I had made up and the food was something a mutual friend had abroad.) When we talked to him about it, he genuinely seemed to believe he wasnt lying. He was a decent guy in every other aspect. I guess it was a case of wanting to fit in and believing in his own fantasies.

Some people misattribute stories to themselves, I think it's slightly different than usual lying from whole cloth. And sometimes it's just easier to say, "my friend" when telling a funny story instead of "a friend of a friend" and further degrees of separation. Neither bothers me particularly. I did have a friend who would always lie about kind of abuse he endured, which is odd because he was extremely secretive about the actual abuse he was receiving. So why not just reveal the real one? It was a lateral move.

As a pathological liar and a pathological truther let me just say 9/10 was an inside job but there were four towers two are just invisible the footage was shot on a sound stage on the moon bush was my best friend in high school we used to smoke together and he told me all about his 911 plans but I just forgot the day that it happened so I couldn't save everyone except I did save a few people I called them up on the phone and was like "hey watch out bush wants to blow you up bros" and saved them and they invite me to dinner a lot and thank me "hey thanks for the heads up, good thing you know all about conspiracies bro you're really cool and I love your plaid pants you wear em so hot you could melt steel beams"

When i know someone is really pulling my leg i go along with it. Ask them questions to make them dig a deeper hole. Being interested in the lie is pretty funny and a good way to gently caress with them. Fyi

A good friend of mine would constantly lie about the number of gorgeous girls that would be at a certain place/event where this girl he fancied was going to be, just to convince me to come along. Even after I would call him on it and told him that we both knew it wasn't true, but that I would come along anyway, he still insisted this time it was true. The most evident one was this time the girl in turn was learning Tango. They had a public class in some bar, we went, turned out she was the only one under 25; hell, everyone else there was about 50.

So why not just reveal the real one? It was a lateral move. The real one hurts the fake one doesn't. But its close enough to serve as a substitute so others can understand. I play a similar trick with my insecurities. Everyone has some, obviously. But i learned early that when you let others in on them they can be used against you. So you throw a lateral pass. Then you still have apparent insecurities for everyone to talk about but they don't sting when prodded. Pure defensive reaction.

More interesting than pathological liars (they're just messed up in the head due to a birth defect or rough upbringing, kinda feel sorry for them tbh), are the lies and gross exagerations normal people make all the time. My favourite is when someone talks about their experience when they got pulled over by the cops for a speeding ticket. What almost always actually happened is that you were pulled over, were making GBS threads your pants, humbly accepted your ticket, then drove off. The story you tell tho, is that the cop was a total dick, he baited you into the ticket, you yelled at him for being an rear end in a top hat, he called backup because he was a pussy bitch who was afraid of you, and then the story kinda trails off, because you suddenly realize you went too far with your embellishment and the person you're lying to will start to wonder why, if you were that belligerent that backup was called, why weren't you arrested and beaten and currently sitting in jail? Most people, cops in particular, don't enjoy getting berated while doing their jobs, and they can actually do something about it, which is why you meekly accepted the ticket like the pussy bitch that we all are. Happened just last night with a guy at work actually. Always makes me laugh.

i knew a kid in highschool who lied to the point where you really weren't sure of everything down to his religion, race or gender he's supposedly at an ivy league school now, which i think is actually verified by people, so i wonder if he got his poo poo together or if it's like some web of lies until the dean there googles something on his application the problem with pathological liars is that you don't want to be close enough to them to learn the things in their life that would probably be somewhat interesting and funny, we should put hidden cameras on them and not tell them and have them be the new truman show

He nicely said that that didn't count. * Edit: I wasn't really speeding, it was just an excuse to get some money out of me, being a corrupt cop. Was a broke student, had little money and they were nice enough to give me change for gas.

Control your emotions for ten minutes and you'll save yourself hundreds of dollars. Course I'm in Canada, our cops are educated past a grade school level and not prone to random beatings. Then you can lie about it afterwards to make yourself seem like a badass.

People who don't own up to these kinds of lies are the people who won't accept criticism or take responsibility for mistakes at their jobs. Even though everyone knows it was them, they go "no way man, I did the thing, it was something else that broke it", when it's totally obvious they didn't do the thing. Like ok man you wasted 100 pieces of paper printing something wrong it's ok you don't have to lie about it.

I knew a guy like this who told my own story back to me but with him in place of me. I just sat there speechless unable to call him on his bullshit and then never talked to him again. Later when I saw Go there is a scene like this and I was like, "Holy poo poo, that guy is just like Josh." He's super fat and a born-again now, so I guess I'm the big winner here.

The professor used a personal story to explain something. Later in the semester one girl in the class, eager to contribute to whatever topic we were discussing, told the same story but with her in his place. She was very confused at why everyone in the room was silent and looking at her funny.

Without pathological liars we'd have no political class though. Edit: Also, FOX News would be out of business. Edit 2: no religion too. There, I think I've managed to offend enough people now. rgocs fucked around with this message at 00:34 on Oct 29, 2015 |

I've known a few people like this and they always struck me as being incredibly insecure with themselves. I used to call them on their bullshit and without fail they would 1. come up with another lie to cover the first lie and 2. get incredibly mad and start freaking out. With one person I tried to refute each of their lies as they came up with them once, and it was then I learned that the lies never end. You could have a compulsive liar on video doing something they said they didn't, with an audio recording of them saying that they are going to do it, and when you confront them with the evidence they will still deny it, maybe toss in a lie about how they have a cousin that looks just like them and they were visiting that day. The only thing you can really do with people like that is assume that everything that comes out of their mouth is a lie and treat them accordingly.

Sounds like Master Shake. edit for content: I used to know this kid in high school named Matt and he would pretty much lie about everything, mainly his various ethnicities that I can't remember, though Im pretty sure the dude was first nations in some capacity. Claimed he was an air force pilot once, or training to be one. I'm starting to notice a few similarities with other compulsive liar stories in this thread. Going to ask a friend of mine from the same social group if he remembers any specific lies this kid told. hang on guys, ill be right back Junk fucked around with this message at 02:34 on Oct 29, 2015 |
