Pathological lying. Pathological lying, also known as mythomania and pseudologia fantastica, is the chronic behavior of compulsive or habitual lying. Unlike telling the occasional white lie to avoid hurting someone's feelings or getting in trouble, a pathological liar seems to lie for no apparent reason.

Pathological liars often can't seem to tell truth from lies and may contradict themselves when questioned. Although pathological lying has been recognized by mental health experts for more than a hundred years, there has been a limited amount of research dedicated to the disorder.

What makes someone a compulsive liar?

Anxiety Disorders – people struggling with anxiety and fear of rejection may also pathologically lie as a way to try and protect a sensitive psyche. Antisocial Personality Disorder – people living with this disorder often display pathological lying as a key symptom, and may use lies to gain status or manipulate others.
