A pathological liar can be very difficult to live with.

Pathological lying (PL) has been defined by the Psychiatric Times as a “long history (maybe lifelong history) of frequent and repeated lying for which no apparent psychological motive or external benefit can be discerned.”

There is no real consensus on what pathological lying is and many people have developed their own definition. Pathological lying is something that has negatively affected many people, even professionals, who are often unaware of the psychiatric instability or personality disorder of the liar. (Some pathological liars may be psychopaths as well.)

For example, in one of my previous articles, I focused on Judge Patrick Couwenberg, a Superior Court Judge of California, who was a pathological liar after repeatedly telling lies while serving the public. The former Judge maintained the lie that he was:

A Caltech graduate,
A wounded war veteran, and
A CIA operative in the 1960s
All of these statements were easily identified by his peers as unreliable and inconsistent, but Couwenberg continued to evade others. He was later removed for “willful and prejudicial misconduct” for lying about attending Caltech. This level of education was critical to his Judicial position.

A pathological liar can be anyone in your life. It can even be a respected person in your community.
