The Natural-Social Liar

The most common liar is the natural-social liar who lies to feel more comfortable in social settings.

On the other hand, when lying is by omission or out of cowardice, it is accompanied by signs of weakness, such as weak pressure, small handwriting, a signature to the left of the text, or a small signature wrapped within the rubric.

The Pathological Liar

The pathological liar describes someone with a persistent and compulsive tendency to lie constantly without an apparent motive or clear logic. The inclination towards compulsive lying generally constitutes a central element of their personality and behavior.

Pathological liars may invent entirely fictional stories or significantly exaggerate facts. The motives behind a pathological liar’s behavior are usually complex mechanisms. They include psychological factors such as the pursuit of attention, the desire to feel important, or the personal satisfaction they derive from deceiving others. They often lie simply out of habit and may be related to disorders such as antisocial personality disorder (also known as sociopathic personality disorder) or narcissistic personality disorder. These disorders are associated with a lack of empathy, impulsivity, and a tendency to manipulate others.
