You cannot be born with traits. You learn traits from influences in your environment that are repeated many times over, causing you to reason with yourself that its okay because others do it.

Can you live with a pathalogical liar?

Yes technaically you can... Although depending on what kind of person you are and what you believe it may concern you to a great extint. If you have problems living with someone who is a pathological liar I suggest you eave them if possible and if not then you may want to tell some one your troubles to see if you or the pathological liar can get help.


Do pathological liars try to return to a previous relationship if the present one starts to go wrong?

Individuals may tend to do that in general - pathological liars really have no bearing on the situation. Where a pathological liar is concerned it totally depends on the individual themselves.


What is the technical name for habitual liar?

In medical terminology, one would call that "pathological". Pathology is a general term meaning a disease process. Someone who lies frequently without any reason would be called a pathological liar. For instance, if your boss asked you what time you arrived at work and your work time started at 8:00 a.m. and you knew you were late and said 8:00 anyway, that would not be pathological. In this case, you lied to protect yourself from being reprimanded, fired, etc. Pathological liars just lie, even when there is no good reason to do so; i.e., nothing to gain and nothing to lose. This is due to some type of deeper psychological problem. RG

Couldn't hurt, might help. One thing's for sure, anyone who stays with one needs help.


How can you fix your reputation if everyone thinks you are a pathological liar but you are not?

If everyone thinks you are a pathological liar then perhaps you need to regroup and ask yourself some heavy questions. One or two people telling you this may be a mistake, but not a lot of people. I suggest you seek out counseling to be sure who and what you really are. We are always learning something new about ourselves no matter how old we get.


Can't a pathological liar turn the table on you like your the one that's doing wrong knowing that he's the one?

Definitely! From my experience, the common reactions of a liar when being called out on his lie are anger, aggression, and turning the tables to blame the other person for the situation.


How can you get him to admit to things you already found when he is a pathological liar?

It may be challenging to make a pathological liar admit to their lies. One approach could be to present concrete evidence and calmly confront them without judgment. It's important to set boundaries and prioritize your well-being when dealing with someone who habitually lies. Consider seeking professional help or support if needed.


Does a pathological liar try to blame others on a regular basis for their mistakes?

Truthfully, the answer to your question would depend. I hope this answer will help answer your question. At a certain point in a pathological liar's life, they will lie for no particular reason. They don't really try to lie, but rather, they need to try hard so that they DONT lie. Being a pathological liar is a "bad habit" that is created due to something in their childhood. When pathological liars are caught lieing, or even vaguely accused, they will often react in a remarkable way. They will often react in rage, saying this such as "I cant believe you would accuse me like that". However, some pathological liars react in shock such as ".... why would you say that?" When a pathological liar is caught lieing however, often they will in fact blame you, saying things like: "I can't believe your making me feel so bad over such a small thing" or "Why do you always have to criticize me". They will only blame you if you question something that they've said. So, in conclusion, if by mistakes you mean "Flaws in their lies" then usually yes. (Revised answer) For pathological liars, they will not try to blame others on a regular basis. Rather, that is one of the reactions a pathological liar will have when caught lieing. They will usually respond in shock, realizing that they were caught, or with anger by saying things like "Why do you have to make such a big deal out of it?". I suppose the second typical response could be considered as blaming.

Define pathological lier?

A pathological liar is usually defined as someone who lies incessantly to get their way and does so with little concern for others. Pathological lying is often viewed as a coping mechanism developed in early childhood and it is often associated with some other type of mental health disorder, such as antisocial personality disorder or sociopathy. A pathological liar is often goal-oriented (i.e., lying is focused - it is done to get one's way). Pathological liars have little regard or respect for the rights and feelings of others. They often come across as being manipulative, cunning and self-centered. Nonetheless, if combined with sociopathic tendencies, they can be charming and superficially extremely likable people. Perfect con artists.


How do you stop a pathological parental from lying and then turns around and calls his 9 year old daughter a liar instead when you know the parent is the liar.?

You can't help a pathological patient like that. You simply just can't up and do it. This needs to be handled by doctors,professionals. Not someone such as yourself. Ask for help,some sort-of profession help (ex. phsycologist.) And if it's nessacary,and no one can get to him,he will be given medication. Simple as that.
