When we love someone, it’s easy to forget reality. It’s easy to get our hopes up and to give the person the benefit of the doubt. It’s easy to think that this person is good. Unfortunately, in this situation, you can’t really do that. You’ll need to be on the lookout.

It’ll also help fuel your memory. There may come a time when you go, “You know, that one time where I got angry at you because you lied about the thing at the place with the statue. . . you know, the THING. " Instead, you whip out your handy dandy notebook and relive the glory of the one time they lied about picking up ketchup at the store. Why did they lie about that anyway?

Some pathological liars, however, won’t do this. They’ll sit and stare at you and that’s the only admission of guilt you’re going to get. You may have to be appeased with just that. Know that they know you know. That’s worth something. {“smallUrl”:“https://www. wikihow. com/images/thumb/6/66/Deal-With-a-Compulsive-Liar-Step-04Bullet01. jpg/v4-460px-Deal-With-a-Compulsive-Liar-Step-04Bullet01. jpg”,“bigUrl”:”/images/thumb/6/66/Deal-With-a-Compulsive-Liar-Step-04Bullet01. jpg/aid647440-v4-728px-Deal-With-a-Compulsive-Liar-Step-04Bullet01. jpg",“smallWidth”:460,“smallHeight”:345,“bigWidth”:728,“bigHeight”:546,“licensing”:"<div class="mw-parser-output">

It is possible to gloss over their lies. Society tells us to be nice and to pay attention to what people to say and to care about their words – but they’re breaking all the rules, so you can too. If they ask why you’re giving them the cold shoulder, be honest. You don’t want to give their lies any more attention than they deserve.

If you do choose to call them out on some, choose the ones you don’t understand. It makes sense to make yourself look good, to make others envy you, but why lie about the amount of mayo left in the fridge? Start a discussion, if you’re feeling up to it. {“smallUrl”:“https://www. wikihow. com/images/thumb/2/2e/Deal-With-a-Compulsive-Liar-Step-07Bullet01. jpg/v4-460px-Deal-With-a-Compulsive-Liar-Step-07Bullet01. jpg”,“bigUrl”:"/images/thumb/2/2e/Deal-With-a-Compulsive-Liar-Step-07Bullet01. jpg/aid647440-v4-728px-Deal-With-a-Compulsive-Liar-Step-07Bullet01. jpg",“smallWidth”:460,“smallHeight”:345,“bigWidth”:728,“bigHeight”:546,“licensing”:"<div class="mw-parser-output">

Let’s say you find out that your boyfriend didn’t go over to his mom’s this afternoon to help her around the house. Instead of saying, “Hey. I talked to your mom,” start off with, “Hon, did you go to your mom’s today?” And then you can launch into the, “She called. Why did you lie?” part of the conversation.

The person has to realize that their behavior is unacceptable and has consequences. It’s going to take you calling them out time and time again for them to get the picture. But soon enough, like when a bell rings and food is presented, they’ll know that when they lie, the habit will get disrupted. The main obstacle? Patience on your part.

You’re not holding grudges; there’s a difference. You’re simply letting them know that their history of lying is now taking its toll on whether or not you believe a dang word that comes out of their mouth. That’s rational, logical, and hard to refute – they know it’s true.

People deserving of this title lie about everything. They lie about things that don’t impress people, that don’t make them feel good about themselves or others feel good about themselves or really that serve any purpose at all. They’ll tell you they saw a duck on the lake yesterday and there’s no lake. It’s just like breathing. They do it naturally.

A dysfunctional family (usually not enough attention received) Sexual or physical abuse in childhood, or ongoing abuse Impulse control disorders (kleptomania, pathological gambling, compulsive shopping, etc. ) Personality disorders (Cluster B personalities – sociopathic, narcissistic, borderline, histrionic, etc. ) Substance abuse or substance abuse in family

When you’re dealing with yours, keep this in mind. It will help you stay more logical, rational, and calm. Instead of dealing with a careless jerk, you’re dealing with a careless jerk who hates himself. Knocks him down a peg.

If you do choose to stay, stay strong. You cannot help them if you cannot help yourself. Make sure your happiness is getting the spotlight. It’s not your job to fix them or to change them. If you do want to stay, take it a day at a time. But always keep you in mind! {“smallUrl”:“https://www. wikihow. com/images/thumb/3/38/Deal-With-a-Compulsive-Liar-Step-15Bullet01. jpg/v4-460px-Deal-With-a-Compulsive-Liar-Step-15Bullet01. jpg”,“bigUrl”:"/images/thumb/3/38/Deal-With-a-Compulsive-Liar-Step-15Bullet01. jpg/aid647440-v4-728px-Deal-With-a-Compulsive-Liar-Step-15Bullet01. jpg",“smallWidth”:460,“smallHeight”:345,“bigWidth”:728,“bigHeight”:546,“licensing”:"<div class="mw-parser-output">
