The cake was a lie. You are what you eat.

Nothing, by most people's definition.agrajag said:what's the diff between a compulsive and a pathological liar?
Seanspeed said:I recently stopped hanging out with a long-time friend cuz I was sick and tired of the complusive lying and the freaking emotional issues the guy had. I'd been best friends with the guy since 1st grade, cuz he's got a good heart down inside and he's funny and outgoing and all, but I cant deal with it at this age.
Its usually always lying about stupid shit, too, and its so damn obvious he's lying. He admits he lies as well and doesn't seem to do a damn thing about stopping it, nor does he feel any remorse for doing it. The problem is that while most of the lies are insignificant, some are more serious. He frequently cheated on any girlfriend he ever had(the relationships never lasted long, obviously, as no girl could ever trust him). He's been caught stealing from some of his other friends. He's just got issues and I'm done dealing with it.
Fuck liars. Seriously.

My lies don't hurt my friends or those close to me. A lot of them are very petty and some very shallow. And being part of the whole white-knight gaf culture, I'm the guy that gets cheated on anyway.
You have shamed the people from your country. Now we can understand why Pakistan is hated upon and looked down upon by many...
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaand I just bumped a 2 year old thread.

Glad to hear that. How were you able to overcome the constant lying? I'm sure landing a nice job boasted your self esteem so you didn't need to resort to fictions about being from an affluent background etc?Ended up joining a leading research institute using my dissertation. I guess there's hope for the hopeless.
Other than that, I couldn't be better
Would love to see how you are doing now, if you ended up seeing a psychologist and if you were able to overcome your insecurities and depression. You are very self conscious, I always imagined pathological liars tend to believe their own bullshit after a while.

I can relate to some of what you said, although I never lied compulsively initially when I moved to the USA from Pakistan( I was 12 when I moved). You grow out of it I guess. But in your case if its a psychological problem then I'm sure it must have been hard.
I ask because I have a relative (uncle) who is a pathological liar and a drug addict. Its come to a point where no one takes him seriously. He continues to ask for help but everyone just believes its another form of manipulation to some ulterior motive. That's the tragedy if people see through your lies, which they usually do.
Thats a lie!edit wrong thread

What is up with the bump?
What a story man, you may say your life seems boring but that was an interesting read. Your path may not be the easiest one but you are surely living. Stay strong!
Edit: Just realised its a 2 year old thread, how are things?
You are not alone OP. If people try and suggest they rarely lie, they're lying.
I appreciate the concern. And I deserve all the flack that I'm getting. I've never had counseling before and I don't know if it could really help me. I'm cynical of such things, but I'm almost kind of afraid that I'll break down if I think too much about it.
Anyway, while this doesn't prove much in my post, it should give a taste of my compulsion during the senate hearing.
Ended up joining a leading research institute using my dissertation. I guess there's hope for the hopeless.
As for how things proceeded with the university, they let me graduate on the condition that I revealed how I fooled the plagiarism software, Turnitin, into accepting my paper without highlighting any significant levels of plagiarism.
I'm told they've discussed my story a few times in various lectures since I've graduated because the department was impressed by how I got through the software.
Nope. Some peoples' strategy is to be honest to a fault.You are not alone OP. If people try and suggest they rarely lie, they're lying.
Thank for the 2 year bump
