**And when you KNOW or Have Caught Them in a Lie----They DENY? xxoo
One of my best friends, actually😂 I met him in college, but a bunch of my college buddies are all from his town and have known him most of his life.
In elementary school, he told everyone his uncle worked for Nintendo and he could get them all an NES for the low, low price of $1 per person, cash up front. They’re still waiting for those Nintendos 35 years later lmfao.
My other buddy became friends with him in late high school when he intervened and saved him when some other dude he had hustled wanted to kick his ass. I think on that one he told guys he could get them gold necklaces for them to give to their girlfriends for Valentine’s Day. He delivered on the necklaces, but had hyped them up to be better than they were and charged like $50 a piece (that was a lot more in 90s money, haha). The problem came when one of the guys’ girlfriends’ saw her necklace in the flyer of some cheap local discount store, to the tune of like $15 or something.
Kid is Armenian, and he got some scholarship or grant or something from some Armenian group, with the check payable to him. This dude didn’t tell his parents a thing, cashed the check and blew most of it in a day at Tweeter (basically like a Best Buy). I went with him, this was like the first week I knew him. He bought a big TV, Nintendo 64, a receiver, huge speakers…. and the hottest new device in home entertainment, a DVD player. Sales guy is all like “This model right here, this is a good, solid DVD player, this is your Ford or Chevy….” He pivots to a different unit, and continues “…. but this…. this, my friend…. this is your Ferrari.” Hardly a beat skips before my buddy puts his pointer finger in the air and makes a circular gesture, and yells out “WRAP IT UP!!!” We still say that to this day, lmao, he was just like “that’s the best one? Say less, bruh, I’ll pull the car around front.”😂
He failed out that year playing N64 all day, lmao, but intercepted his report card, told his parents he got all As, and they bought him a brand new Acura. He took off to Texas for the summer and got some decent job because he’s really good with computers. Rumor has it that he decided he wanted black instead of red, so he left his Acura in the hood, unlocked with the keys in it, let it get stolen, and switched the color up😂 I can’t confirm that part, but he definitely went from red to black.
Dude also had this girlfriend for a few years who was ALL BUSINESS, and my buddy is a straight clown, haha. Lazy as fuck and just wants to smoke weed and play video games, and she’s up at like 4 AM to go running before going to crew practice, before going to a full slate of classes, before going to the gym, before doing her homework and being on the Dean’s List, and she hated him smoking weed. It was never going to work, lmao. Eventually they moved in together and she made him straighten up and get a full time job…. except he lied to her for over a year, SAID he had a job at a bank that conveniently started later than her job and ended earlier, so he could drop her off and pick her up. Then he’d come to my apartment and nerd out with my roommate who was more or less his best friend, and they’d play World Of Warcraft and shit, while I’d wonder where I could find some cooler friends😂 But he’d get up with her, shower, put on business-casual clothes, and he’d have fake stories about imaginary co-workers, like “oh yeah, Cathy had her baby, Linda is up to her old bullshit again, causing drama…” Just anything to not have to go to work every day😂 And he’s ridiculous at poker, so he would make money playing online poker all day to generate income. Just one of the most elaborate lying schemes I’ve ever witnessed.
And even small things…. he’s the kind of “oh yeah, I just left, I’ll be there in ten minutes”, but he knows full well he’s not even in the state and won’t be there for like six hours. He’s just a super good times guy, and if he ever has bad news, even something light like “I can’t make it” or “I’m going to be late”, he just can’t break it, he pretends everything is going as scheduled and then just shows up when he shows up with some crazy excuse. And we’ve been burned so many times that we haven’t believed him since the 1990s lmfao, but he just keeps on doing it🤦♂️😂
Deny or change the subject, or concede a minor- usually unrelated point- and then he tries to turn the table on me!
To the extreme!!!
My cousin who is younger optical copy of me lies about anything. She licks her own lips slightly while she lies and she does it often because 'lies taste good'. lol
We make jokes that she should go into politics when she is older.
Yeah, and I avoid them.
@KatherineJ I AGREE!!! xx

I once worked with a guy, member of my group, who never got things done, and always blamed others. The excuses he came up with were unreal, although I do give him credit for creativity. Fortunately, management recognized his lying, excuse-making and lack of work ethics, and fired him after 6 months' probation.
Ohh man! Those people have given me such anxiety and are so cringe. God!! Although they brought so much clarity in life but man, they annoyed me to the limits.
It was unbelievable to me in beginning that how do they even live with themselves. How do they even accept themselves? But I figured slowly, yes they're a special breed of humans.
yes, but he couldn't help it...
he was one of those guys, that whatever you say or talk about to him... he already had it, or done it, or experienced first and better than you...
and if he could just not say he had, his eye would twitch a little bit... and then right away say his cousin, or uncles had it, done it or experienced first and better than you, lol
My mother, good little catholic girl that she was, lied a LOT!! I can't understand how she was able to keep so many lies straight for over 50 years!! And, if you catch her in one lie, she makes up another to cover it! Once I noticed that she lied so much, I made it a point never to lie.
I fell a long way from her tree. I don't lie.
Biden's a habitual liar! Almopst everyone that supports him is a liar.
my ma too, but careless so easier to catch.
Yes, I know a few.
The one on my mind right now. I have a diagnosed paranoid schizophrenic mother in law. She has a tenuous grasp of reality and often she thinks something is real that simply isn't. She remembers conversations that I don't, etc. And it can be difficult.
Yes I work with one. He is actually hard to figure out. He smiles and is friendly but as I found out probably 90% of what comes out of his mouth is all lies. He bakes cakes and sweet stuff basically to bribe people to do as he says. He is vindictive, is a self proclaimed genius, and a compulsive liar. All the attributes of a master manipulator and sociopath. A guy that everybody is friends with during the day but a serial killer at night.
Yes, she was my roommate and we were friends for a while.
Gosh, she lied to every single person. But I was impressed how someone could be that much of a liar. Because I am so honest, I liked the contrast. 🤣
yes, my ma was so careless she lied very frequently and was careless about them.
i could sense a lie , wait a day and test her and see she had lied.
i often pointed it out and she cried. but wouldn't change.
Yes, one girl and one guy. Both were absolutely exhausting to deal with, because after you discovered their spiel you could never really believe anything they said.
I dated a girl who I eventually realized had no regard for the truth. None. I believe she had borderline personality as well as an alcohol problem.
Yeah, I have those in my family, pathological liars, manipulators etc. So, I’m trained to recognize them from afar.
My former meth addicted cousin. He's sober now and dating his Arabic girlfriend who is a good fit for him, keeps him in check and gives him a reason to stay sober as far as we can tell. *fingers crossed*
Yes, I know someone that tells lies that don't even seem to be of value to the person telling the lies.
Yeah, my brother's friend growing up. I still see him pretty regularly. He'd lie like it was second nature
I had a boss that lied all rhe time. You could tell he was lying when he addressed you by your first name. If there was anyone that needs to end up in a dumpster it is him.
Oh my, absolutely, and to make matters worse, you'd think that at fifty he would have learned his lesson by now.
Yes, and they were ALL men.
my ma was female, as far as i know.
My ex was one lol
She would lie to so many people and I would know she was since I knew the truth
They can be so bad!! And you don't want to call them out cuz you'll be in trouble
Yeah av met a big one of them that lie my ex boyfriend
Some people are so wrapped up in their own falsehoods that they believe them.
Sure do! Just watched a couple of liars on television that say the Border Crisis isn’t their fault!
I live in the U. S. dear😂 But I have I'm other countries too. I call them "pathological liars"
Yeah, a classmate. That one even the devil can be surprised with the way she lies.
Yes, Denny’s the commercials the advertising and the menu book complete liars the breakfast never looks like the menu
Yes. Pathologically so entrenched that he likely thought he was telling the truth, as though he had created his own reality.
That is indeed the worst part. The denying and lack of accountability is the worst.
Yes I did. After the third lie and she tried to lie to cover it up, that was the end of it.
All of us in the USA know a habitual, pathological liar, and lots of them.
Yes actually , he is my best friend (I know he means well)
Omg yes and still run into people like that which now is so easy to detect. The first red flag is they always place blame other's and play the victim
Donald Trump and George Santos, but nobody in my friendship circle.
Not disagreeing, though Santos was expelled from the House over lies, and Trump is facing charges for it (among others). When it comes to politicians, I have no use for any of them.
they accuse trump of lying but the opposing version is fake news. he didn't lie. sometimes he quotes someone else who wasn't accurate.
My roommate. My brother and I always tell him when he's lying
trump. while I've never met him, he's a compulsive liar
Yes My step son lies so much he's believes his own self
work with plenty, its cringe how much they believe it
Yes. There was this whole story about how they'd made the topping for a cake by melting candy bars, but it was rather spoiled by finding the box the cake came in in the bin.
@OddBeMe I think this question is for you bro.
Behold the Dunning-Kruger effect, ladies and gentlemen. I don't have to make anything up and then you have this motherfucker that will dance around anything and insinuate your dumb as fuck while he does it.
😂 🤣 I'm just being a chuckle fuck... all good vibes.
yeppers, it isn't hard to tell.
Yes a have quite a few including one of my brothers. The other habitual liars were every girlfriend he has had.
Yeah, my hometown's full of them.
Yes I knew one of those in my past.
Yes, I have. They're so fucking annoying.
You mean a pathological liar?
I don't think so
Only my ex wife and her sons
Members of my family.
My big brother lol 😆
He once told a neighbour across the road at one My old houses that he's just come back from the Royal Air force lol , he's never set foot in one 😆
My ex
Yes... Trump.
Trump has a 55+ year record of lies.
Here's an interesting article from (the business-friendly, conservative) Forbes magazine:

Trump Is Lying More Than Ever: Just Look At The Data
David Markowitz
Contributor
I am a professor studying the psychology of language and technology.
May 5, 2020, 07:00 am EDT
I’m an academic who cares deeply about how lying affects communication processes and social relationships. One of the most important and consistent truths about deception is that we are all mostly honest. Most people tell one or two small lies per day, on average, and there are only a few prolific liars in our social circles.
Rates of interpersonal deception — the lies I tell you and you tell me — have been remarkably stable in deception research over time. But, as others suggested, something is unusual about President Trump. His rate of deception has increased since taking office.
As of early April, Trump has told 23.3 lies per day in 2020, a 0.5-lie increase since 2019. What’s more, Trump has averaged 23.8 lies per day since the first case of COVID-19 was reported in the US — another 0.5-lie increase. Even during a pandemic, when the public needs to trust and rely on him the most, deception remains a core part of the president’s playbook.
What’s unusual about Trump is not just how often he lies, but what he lies about and where he communicates his lies most often.
I evaluated Trump’s 18,000 reported lies organized by topic. If Trump lied consistently, we would see a relatively flat distribution of falsehoods over time and across topics. Instead, bursts of deception tend to repeat on the same topic, particularly about guns, the economy, education, and elections.

Recently, journalists have taken measures to curb the spread of Trump’s lies and harmful recommendations to the public. Some news outlets, for example, have stopped airing his press briefings and others are limiting their coverage of him.
The problem here is that mainstream media coverage of President Trump is a relatively constrained avenue for his lies. Tweets, on the other hand, have speed and scale: they travel fast and are distributed globally. They also leave a record, allowing lies to remain public and therefore, in competition with truths. Even correcting falsehoods may not help, given political divisions among us and evidence suggesting that warnings about false claims can backfire.
Trump’s lies are problematic because they force us to question our institutions and the value of information. Their consequences might also bleed into our everyday meaningful relationships. Our trust in government, media, and other institutions remain quite low, but we still tend to trust one another.
What happens when our distrust in government affects our trust in family or friends? When we fail to value truth and instead, prioritize alternative facts or self-serving discourse, the fabric that holds our relationships together begins to fray.
how do you know the opposing version is true?

The guy is a serial professional liar who's been doing it all his adult life.
Fellow NYers like me who has known of Trump for 50 years, we've all witnessed his lies, narcissism, and bullying behavior. Why do you think Trump did so poorly in 2016 and 2020 in the NYC metro area? We who have known him the best and longest know what a lying douchebag he is. It's why he fled to Florida and became a citizen there. Outside of New York transplants, Floridians - especially young ones younger than 40 - don't realize his profound history of lies and abuse.
@strateguy632 "Opposing version"?
Yeah
yeap that's me thank god

My dad
