Pathological lying — also known as pseudologia fantastica, mythomania, and morbid lying — is a compulsive pattern of telling people things you know aren’t true. Persistently lying can be an urge so strong that it’s difficult to overcome, similar to how compulsions can become difficult to stop for someone with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). Pathological lying is an established yet controversial concept in psychology, although it isn’t a mental health diagnosis in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 5th edition, text revision (DSM-5-TR). In clinical settings, pathologic lying may be considered a situational occurrence or a symptom of a mental health condition. But with limited research, experts usually explore the behavior in the context of other thinking and behavioral patterns. Is occasional lying considered pathological? No, most people lie from time to time and it isn’t an indicator of pathology. Pathological means the behavior may be related to or caused by a health challenge. If lying and embellishing are a regular occurrence and difficult to control, the behavior may be considered pathological, but context is important. A 2020 study quantified pathological lying as constantly telling five or more lies in a period of 24 hours, every day, for longer than 6 months. 15 signs of a pathological liar If you have a pattern of pathological lying, you may: lie indiscriminately about a wide range of topics

It may have developed as a coping mechanism to help someone get their needs met, says Dr. Nancy Irwin, a licensed clinical psychologist in Los Angeles. “Typically, they grow up in environments where they learned early on that they are not good enough, that being a flawed human being is unacceptable,” she says. “They more than likely were abused, but surely were emotionally neglected and heavily criticized.” Do pathological liars believe their lies? Yes, pathological liars often believe their own lies, according to Zrenchik. “It can be suggested that the belief does not exist to a delusional level, but potentially due to the repetition and frequency of the lies. It could feel real to the liar because it’s a story they’ve told themselves and others countless times,” he says. 12 ways to handle a pathological liar It can be confusing, frustrating, and traumatic to be constantly lied to, but there are ways to cope. Try to stay grounded in your sense of reality When someone lies frequently and believes what they say, it can look sincerely honest, says Zrenchik. “You may be tempted to question what you believe to be true, giving the other person the benefit of the doubt. Instead, hold firm to what you know to be true and allow the other person to disagree,” he says. Try to adjust your expectations If possible, try to give up any expectation that you’ll make them see the truth, or admit you’re right and they’re wrong, says Irwin. You may be sorely disappointed. “They may not think in the same terms as you do. The ‘truth’ may be a foreign concept to them. The only thing that matters may be ‘winning,’ such as an argument, a lawsuit, or a disagreement,” she says. “They may live in a world of their own reality or truth, which is simply what they need at the moment: a partner, an accomplishment, a deal.” Try to set healthy boundaries If you sense you’re being lied to, it’s OK to limit interactions. With composure and calm, try to explain how you feel. “Let them know where you stand and set a boundary for your own self-respect,” says Irwin. “But do so with no expectation of enlightening or changing them and encouraging them to tell the truth.” Try to be prepared for a confrontation If things get heated, don’t be afraid to disengage, says Irwin. Even though this doesn’t apply to everyone, “If you try to confront them with evidence and proof of the facts, they may be outraged, insulted, and attack you verbally. They may even badmouth you to others and avoid you.” Try to encourage them to seek support Even if they admit to lying, they may not realize how often they lie or see it as indicative of a larger problem, says Zrenchik. It can help to encourage pathological liars to work with a therapist, although you may not want to suggest it as a punishment for lying, he explains. “Instead, suggest it as a means for them to better understand who they are and how they came to perpetuate such behavior.” Try to learn about body language and ‘tells’ You may find it helpful to watch videos on lie detection from mentalist and hypnotherapist Bedros “Spidey” Akkelian on “The Behavioral Arts” YouTube channel.
