Quite true Mersey - my mother used to say about somebody she knew '' He tells lies and believes them himself ''

A liar does not know they are lying...mind games can be known as lies and minipulisation... To look in the eyes of those you love including family and believe you are telling the truth without knowing is affirming how devious and low a person can be...

The truth coming from a liar cannot be believed.

I knew someone like that once.
And then there are those who make things up to cause mischief or perceived revenge - or maybe they have just lost the plot.

Some people, such as sociopaths, find lying to be a breeze. Those kind of liars are completely self-centered and without remorse, and are unlikely to ever be considerate of another human. For most people, lies aimed at manipulating another person will always come at great cost to you when they're uncovered.

“Don't lies eventually lead to the truth? And don't all my stories, true or false, tend toward the same conclusion? Don't they all have the same meaning? So what does it matter whether they are true or false if, in both cases, they are significant of what I have been and what I am? Sometimes it is easier to see clearly into the liar than into the man who tells the truth. Truth, like light, blinds. Falsehood, on the contrary, is a beautiful twilight that enhances every object.”

A liar should have a very good memory.

I knew a man who when he said "in all honesty" was invariably telling lies.

I've noticed...a man we know (I don't like him) always coughs really loudly whenever he "fibs"

I stare at him..... and wait........

I know for sure he's lied when he says "Right then" and walks away.

He's a plonker.

I'm sure he doesn't like me either, but I'm not bothered.
