 Characteristics of Pathological Lying
Pathological liars are frequently untruthful for no good reason. They
harm themselves with their behavior, but keep doing it despite any
consequences?.

Lying is a common behavior in humans. When someone tells a lie,
there's often a clear reason they do so. Lying may be used as a tool
to achieve a goal.

But pathological lying is often done without any reason and regardless
of consequences. These lies are extensive and elaborate, and the urge
to tell them is compulsive. Pathological liars often make up stories,
even if that causes them harm. They may lose jobs and ruin
relationships because of their lying.?

It isn’t clear whether pathological liars understand that what they
say isn’t true. Some people believe the things they say, even when
those things are clearly false. Other pathological liars will admit
that they've been lying only when their lies are proved false.?

Characteristics of Pathological Lying

Experts look for four main behaviors when trying to figure out if
someone is a pathological liar:

Excessive lying. Pathological liars lie more than others. They make up
stories that sound real enough that people believe them. They then add
more lies to back up the original lies. The lies they tell can be
outlandish and easily disproved. For example, they might falsely claim
to have received an award or say that still-living family members
died.

Lying without good reason. Many people tell small lies to avoid
unpleasant consequences, like saying they were late because of traffic
instead of admitting that they overslept. But pathological liars don’t
have a clear motive. They tell stories that don’t benefit them and
might actually hurt them when the truth comes out.?

There is much more but I won't bother.
