Trust is the foundation of every relationship. Lying erodes trust making long term relationships difficult and/or impossible for compulsive/pathological liars. The constant lying cause a lot of questioning and doubting, which drives a destructive wedge in the relationship over time. This destructive wedge can lead to divorce, job loss, constant drama with family, friends, co-workers and neighbors.

Compulsive Liars: Lie frequently and sometimes without a clear reason why. They may lie to avoid discomfort or difficult feelings. Their lies may be spontaneous and knee-jerking reactions, and they may bend the truth about anything. They lie to boost their self-esteem and/or to feed into a false sense of self. They may typically refuse to admit to the lie even after others discover the truth. They may be linked to mental health conditions like PTSD, Bi-Polar, or Borderline Personality Disorder

Pathological Liars: Lie excessively and have difficulty stopping. They often lie to get what they want or to maintain a certain image. Their lies can be dramatic, complicated, and detailed and often include extensive and unrequested details. They may also lie for no apparent reason, like to gain praise, attention, or sympathy. When confronted, they can become defensive and never admit their lies. They can also show signs of anxiety when talking, dodge questions, or provide vague answers.
