I have a niece that is a compulsive liar. She makes up lies about how she gets pregnant then later gets a miscarriage. Most of what she says is a lie. This year she must have said she got pregnant at least 3 times.

On Facebook she posts lies all the time. What do you do about compulsive liars?

I made a comment on her post that she was never pregnant and her cousin got mad at me for saying that. I think its best to avoid compulsive liars.

They do not really bother me, I do not discriminate against someone on mental conditions they may have. How are their lies more harmful than any other lie?

I have. I learned now that people getting mad is better than telling a lie.

Like if my professor asked if I read the text, i'd normally say yeah I read it. Now I say, that ive been meaning to read it.

If My mom asked me if I do my homework I would normally say yes just to get her off my back. Now I just say the truth, that I havent done it yet.

I had that problem of lying when it came to not having to embarrass myself. That said, it's not worth it because it causes more problems than solutions and does give a bad image of yourself to others. I'm serious when I say this but the saying goes, "..and the truth will set you free." Honesty and truthfulness works all the time (or at least 90% of the time). The other 10%, depending on the circumstances, it's probably best not to say a word or deny everything.

Avoid pathological liars, they want all the attention and compliment fish wii60_3

Dang I know I'm not the most popular fish in the sea and up to date on what is "cool" at all times, but since when was getting pregnant multiple times something to brag about, get attention for, or sympathy from?

If I wanted attention, I don't think the first thing I would do is go on Facebook and make myself look like a piece of sh-t skank... Granted some girls want to "look" like skanks... Appearance wise... But to actually imply that you are a skank who gets knocked up all the damn time... What?

I know a couple and keep them at a safe distance. One is particularly horrible at it, like they're not even trying anymore, so it won't be long until we've completely stopped speaking.

Nothing you really can do, they will lie, lie and keep lying. I know a few. I don't like being around them at all and avoid talking to them.

You think it's best to avoid them, but you're commenting on her statuses? Does not compute. Just delete her. Stupid nutjobs are people you want to keep at arm's length. If facebook is where you have to deal with her, delete her off there. It's not like you have to deal with her face to face most of the time, right?

nothing you can really do, except wait for their lies to bite them in the ass.

my sister tells lies pretty much all the time.

its so bad now, we dont believe anything she says, at all.

even when she is in danger of getting arrested, she stills decides to tell us lies and such.

due to her lies, shes basically thrown away her life.

but in the end, the truth always comes out.

Nothing. One of my best friends growing up became a big time liar in high school. Most of the lies were so absurd though, all I could do is laugh and nod my head.

One of my friends in primary school pretended that she broke her arm quite a few times so she could get dinner earlier than the rest of the school D:

In primary school I had a friend that said all kinds of lies to draw attention. He would make up stories about his family (like his father was playing professional football in the past and great clubs were interested in him) or pretend that he was hurt after faking a fall from stairs. It was so hilarious and pathetic lol.
