Why can someone constantly lie to the ones that they love?

who knows....

I'm just a ditzy...shy...5'9 blonde..blueeyed...98 lb...trying to make it in this crazy world!!!!

Lying can be a personality quirk as well. It can be out of habit.

They could also be lying to keep others out of their business, no matter what that is. It could be triggered from a complete lack of privacy.

Another possibility is a lack of respect for their family/friends, ie I'll say what I want, they are too dumb to figure it out etc.


The psychosis liars will stick to a lie as if it were reality even when you present absolute proof that you know that they lied. They have a deep fear of losing their fabricated version of reality. The one they created to cover up what they did wrong.

Sometimes if liars are confronted enough and it's not an obvious mental condition that they are dealing with, if they don't take off, they usually convert into a brutual honesty personality over time with the attitude of if you don't like what I have to say, shove it. Not always a good thing to deal with either.

I have to disagree Monier, in that lying isn't a personality quirk, but a defect. And when we start lying, it leads to another and so on. And it's hard to get out of the habit.

This is not a difficult question.

Some people possess a higher level of mental pathology, they lack integrity, character and are narcissistic.

And some are just plain Old A-Holes

loneliness


I have a relative like this,,,constantly has new drama to share about what is happening to them and most of it isnt true,,but I do think this person tells lies so often that they have convinced themself they are true

i would like to lie next to the one i love

people that lie should be in a relationship children lie so apparently the people that lie are just like a child that threw a baseball into a neighbor's window and pointed to someone else if u can't be honest then your not mature enough to handle the truth of a relationship nad take responsibilty for your actions

i meant shouldn't be in a relationship ...stupid typo i can't type for ****

i think that a lot of times people lie to avoid feeling emotions that they don,t want to feel like shame or guilt.a lot of times these people can,t even be honest with themselves since doing so would still make them feel the emotion they are trying to avoid.these people will ty to change 1 little word in a statement and justify the lie in their own mind.for example,if you were dating someone that went on a date with someone else and you asked them later if he kissed you(just an example).she might say no but in her own mind she would be thinking,i didn,t kiss him ,he kissed me.they nit pick and turn things around to justify their deception and make themselves believe they are being honest.

Because they are compulsive liars.

That was easy, any other questions?

because the other person is willing to believe the BS they are fed..

The devil made them do it.

Cuz ... they're liars

Because some people are cold and isolated not only from true reality but what love really is. It's hard to deal with this but your only option is to become a better liar and you don't want to do that.

I heard this one in a movie:


"Why shouldn't people lie at the beginning a relationship? I mean that's where they end up anyway."



Maybe that helps.

That is a question i have been trying to figure out myself.
Apparently the only conclusion i have come up with is that they are habitual liars. Sort of makes me feel better to think of it that way.

False dilemma!
Do you really love someone if you are constantly lying to that person?

exactly!!!!! Doesn't take Freud to figure that out!!!
