[quote:Anonymous Coward 561207:MV82NzYwOThfMTAzMDM1MTdfNUIwNjcxQzk=] The thing is, they believe that whatever they say CREATES reality. Doesn't matter if what they say today is totally contradictory to what they said yesterday, that is of no importance whatsoever . . . The problem is, it may create their reality but they don't recognize it doesn't create anyone else's. But it's very difficult to deal with their obstreporousness. And it's totally possible to be an honest employee or etc. yet also be a compulsive liar about personal stuff. I think it is the self-preservation thing. [/quote]
Original Message
my question concerns two main points
why do people lie compulsively? is there a similarity in background/experience that makes people this way?
secondly, how can they get better, that is, stop lying all the time? is it even possible?
i was in a relationship for about nine months with a woman i cared for very much, but she wouldn't stop lying to me, and it eventually caused me to leave
i do not intend to get back together with her romantically, but i still love her, and i think i might be the only person she has ever told the extent of her problem to, would like to help her if i can
fire away GLP - any insights?
