(Post deleted by staff ) (Post deleted by staff )  falconher23: Topic: Off Topic davidk14: During a PM, a question was raised if this person who calls itself Rabbit, is a pathological liar. So a little research produced the following: • Pathological liars - or "mythomaniacs" - may be suffering from histrionic personality disorder or narcissistic personality disorder. • Exaggerates things that are ridiculous. • One-upping. Whatever you do, this person can do it better. You will never top them in their own mind, because they have a concerted need to be better than everyone else. This also applies to being right. If you try to confront an individual like this, no matter how lovingly and well-intention you might be - this will probably not be effective. It's threatening their fantasy of themselves, so they would rather argue with you and bring out the sharp knives than admit that there's anything wrong with them. • They "construct" a reality around themselves. They don't value the truth, especially if they don't see it as hurting anyone. If you call them on a lie and they are backed into a corner, they will act very defensively and say ugly things. • Because these people don't value honesty, a lot of times they will not value loyalty. So watch what you tell them. They will not only tell others, but they will embellish to make you look worse. Their loyalty is fleeting, and because they are insecure people, they will find solace in confiding to whomever is in their favor at the moment. • They tend to add exaggerations to every sentence. • They act very defensively when you question their statements. • They believe what they say is true, when everyone else knows it isn't. • Lies when it is very easy to tell the truth. • May have a personality disorder. • From Raymond Lloyd Richmond, Ph.D. "Psychological Honesty": Even a pathological liar carries deep in his heart a desire for goodness and honesty and yet, because of painful emotional wounds, believes that the world never has, and never will, recognize his pain. And so, to hide that pain from himself, he uses all the lies he can concoct to hurl at the world as he runs in fear from his own goodness. • Extremely manipulative. • Never fesses up to the lies. • Pathological liars cannot tell that they are lying; they actually believe the lie as soon as it comes out of their mouth. They lie about unimportant things that don't really matter to anyone. This can be caused by mental defect but isn't always and lie about things that make them look better or embellish to get attention. • Here are things to ask yourself: How could this many things happen to one person? Would believe these stories if someone else told you? • The pathological liar is aware that they are lying BUT will go to extremes to make you believe that they are truthful. • They appear to believe their own lies BUT in truth, they know their lies are just that, lies. But because their efforts are constantly backing up their lies, it appears to us that they actually believe their lies, when we eventually do find out about them and then we tend to feel sorry for these people. • It is true that most of them have an extremely low sense of self worth and are continuously trying to make themselves feel better about THEMSELVES and this is one reason they lie. It is about them but the lies are not always set up with the purpose to hurt some one else; it's that these people feel so low about themselves they need to create ANYTHING different from the ugly reality they feel about themselves so they lie about even the most tiniest little thing. • Other indicators: 1) Rage attacks after they realize you're questioning their lies. 2) Distraction techniques, e.g. word games, After using the distraction technique, or rage attack, or sometimes both, they move on to try and prove others are liers. • Lies are unplanned and impulsive. Behavior is repeated over a long period of time. Lies don't seem to exist for any external reason. Behavior may not always be a conscious act. Lies are admitted, changed, and/or adapted if a false story is challenged. • A pathological liar prevaricates more frequently than the average person or tells more abnormal lies. In most cases, pathological liars tell lies that are "unplanned and impulsive". These lies are usually stories that tend to serve no purpose except to impress people. As of now, psychiatrists are unsure whether or not pathological liars are fully capable of realizing if and when they are lying. Some main qualities linked with pathological liars include dysfunctional family origin, family lying patterns, anomalies of sexual life, frequent substance abuse, and a great capacity for language. Sound like Rabbit? Topic: Off Topic davidk14: . Perhaps Rabbit is also paranoid compounded with being a pathological liar: Here are a few are the symptoms of Paranoid Personality Disorder (PPD) • Believe others are using or deceiving them • Are unforgiving and hold grudges • Are hypersensitive and take criticism poorly • Read hidden meanings in innocent remarks • React with anger and quick to retaliate • Have recurrent suspicions, without reason • Cannot see their role in problems or conflicts, believing they are always right • Are hostile, stubborn, and argumentative Sounds like Rabbit?
