Compulsive liars

Why do compulsive liars, lie?  Is there a process in there life that they went through to get to that point in their lives?  Did they miss something growing up?  Are they vying for your attention as well as half dozen or more others.  Do you deal with this from you significant other or close friend?  Are they a compulsive liar or a sociopath?  Is there a difference?  Maybe they are a pathological liar an not a compulsive liar.  In any case, you have to figure out what the difference is and how to deal with it.

A compulsive liar, just is that you have become accustomed to lying out of habit, dumb idea, but it happens, they bend the truth about everything, big or little.  As for being very manipulative, that is more under the sociopath side of things.  It amazes me that there are people out there who are cunning and manipulative, so bad tot the point that they deceive and hurt those around them purposely.  This is where karma kicks in.  It may not be immediate, but it will.

You, yup, you know who I'm talking about.  There are many signs about how to spot a compulsive liar.  Then you have the sociopath, and you pretty much hit them all on the head.  Let me throw a few out there for the sociopath:

* exaggerate things to the point of absurdity, describe events to you in a storytelling format, for some reason it usually sounds believable at the time.

*They are never wrong, ever.  They can never apologize. They never feel guilt. Even if shown proof that they were wrong, they will refuse to apologize and instead go on the attack, getting defensive(sound familiar).

* They often appear to be sexy or have a strong sexual attraction. Not all sexy people are sociopaths, obviously, but watch out for over-the-top sexual appetites and weird fetishes.

Just to name a few.  There are several more, but this was the "Reader's Digest version",  my cut down version.
