A Compulsive Liar's True Intent: Understanding Patterns Of Behavior

Have you ever had an experience with a person who always seems mysterious and nothing they say ever comes to fruition?

Well…if so, you might have been dealing with a sociopath, narcissist, or even a pathological liar. This article will discuss 6 important characteristics we should all be aware of with the pathological liar.

In this video, I discuss characteristics of pathological liars we all should be aware of. Pathological or compulsive liars often display patterns of behavior that are easy to spot in hindsight. But this video aims to give you a leg up.

It's important to understand how pathological liars interact with others. Some characteristics you may notice include but are not limited to:

Habitual/frequent lying that is consistent
Triangulation (which I will discuss further next week)
Listening to respond ONLY
Manipulating you into "playing" roles in their life
Seducing you
Exaggerating things to distract from the truth
Using emotions to control and dominate
Studying you and looking for your weakness
Rehearsing their lines and lies

There are also common characteristics of pathological lying that can be found in the following diagnoses:

-CHILDREN & TEENS:
Oppositional defiant disorder
Conduct disorder
Juvenile Delinquency

-ADULTS:
Borderline Personality Disorder
Narcissistic Personality Disorder
Antisocial Personality Disorder "sociopaths" and "psychopaths"
Histrionic personality
