Is it possible for a compulsive liar to recover if he claims to be working on the issue?
How do you know he's not lying about that too?
Answer
NO! but that is just my opinion, and I have dealt with a lot of liars. I don't think that people change their ways -- or it is very, very rare for someone to change and stay changed. I just don't think it's going to happen. A liar only says he's sorry because he got caught!
Answer
My ex-boyfriend was a liar and after saying that he was sorry he still lied to me. He lied a minute after he told me he was never going to lie again! He is still lying now and I know that he has a psychological problem. I am not sure if his parents agree though. I think his dad and the younger family member have the same problem. Liar's remain liars. Unless they are changed by God. God is all powerful and with Him all things are possible!
Answer
I am 15. I used to lie all the time about little things, major things, basically it was almost like a normal thing I would do. until about a year ago I realized just what I had been saying I liked attention. It was such a mistake to liar the amount of guilt I have is ridiculous, I cry often and punished myself I wish I never lied but people have accepted me, I have confessed a lot because otherwise it just builds up more and more inside and the guilt becomes worse and worse people have forgave me but I don't know if I can forgive myself. Please if you lie, try to stop. It isn't healthy.
Answer
NO! No way. He's a Compulsive Liar. He does nothing but LIE. Why believe him if he tells you that he's working on it. That's another one of the LIES he tells you so he can get what he wants. Don't believe a word he says. Get away from the compulsive liar and don't go back. They are real good at making people feel sorry for them. They play head games. These kind of people should not be trusted. They're like drug addicts or alcoholics. First they need to admit they have a problem and then get PROFESSIONAL HELP!
Answer
As a compulsive liar myself I find it very hurtful some of the things people say about the sickness, which is exactly what compulsive lying is A SICKNESS! I have just recently admitted to myself and the person who means the most to me (my wonderful boyfriend) that I am in fact a compulsive liar! Do drug addicts or alcoholics not deserve the chance to get help from a loved one so that they can recover. Yes you have to admit it but I find it comforting and helpful knowing that I have my family and my boyfriend to help me. Don't give up on the person, help them! If the person is trying to get help and admit it. They really want to change (at least this person)...
Answer
It is possible for a compulsive liar to address their problem but they can only do it with help and support. It is no good saying they're working on it. They must have some kind of proof that they are getting help. Compulsive Liars are suffering from an illness. They need to change the way that they respond to themselves and their lives. It is not easy but everyone deserves the chance to try and change their lives. Sometimes they need someone to hold their hand to get help. Ultimately you can lead a horse to water but you cant make it drink!
Answer
I don't think anyone who is compulsive would change, I think if you don't know for sure that they are getting help, they can't stop lying long enough for you to take their word for it!
Answer
If a compulsive liar claims to be working on the issue, any attempt would be disingenuous and only for ulterior motives . A compulsive liar will continue to lie when the truth is in front of him in black & white. The only issue they will really be working on, will be how to keep you from finding out their next deception.
