    My mother loved lying. She loved to cheat people. For her it was a sport.

    They lie because they can. My mother was the liar, then the stepmother, then my ex husband. He's a compulsive liar. I can tell when he's lying, his mouth is open Just lies for no reason. Always gets caught, can't stop lying. I'm honest to a fault. I learned that from mom because she showed me what i did not want to be. I just can't do it, not knowingly. We are all only as honest with others as we are with self, so everyone lies to some degree. Most lie to themselves. I had to lie in addiction. I really hated it. I felt like crap. I hate lying. Lies of omission. Great video Allison

    I am sure that I have said some lies through my life, but I am almost a compulsive truth teller and I spill all my sins to everyone, which is probably another condition. I have blaned my inability to lie on catholic school. If I confess to everything, I will get rid of the consequences sooner. I used to think my family was nuts, but I don’t think so anymore after meeting narcissists etc.

    Wow, this just came across my KZread screen. I almost fell off the sofa. My mother was a prolific liar, but I never recognized it until I was an adult. She lied about really important stuff like what kind of man my biological father was and why she and my step-dad never had any children. Thankfully, she never dragged me into her lying. I was surprised to learn that lying was learned behavior. My mother was given up at birth, placed in an orphanage, and adopted at somewhere bewtween six and nine months old. I always felt her lying was a result of her traumatic childhood. She also seemed to have some kind of mild learning disability. There were certain physical tasks she just had a problem doing. For instance, she never got the hang of using a computer, couldn't type, and had a hell of a time learning, but finally did manage to learn, how to drive. She had a lot of issues, but she was a master at lying. It wasn't until she got older and less skillful at her lying that I realized that she had lied about so many things. Color me naive for not picking up on it until I was middle aged. There's more. She was a mass of issues. I was her only child, which is probably a good thing. Bad enough one kid had to deal with all this dysfunction. So glad I found your channel.

    Thanks for sharing about your mom. She sounds like she was traumatized as a child much like my mom. Thanks for watching the channel!

    I cut my sister off she lies about almost everything she force her kids to lie by telling them never tell family secrets. I have no contact with her, so my one niece cut me off, but my 2 other nieces we talk all the time. She was a very hard mom.

    OMG! I'm going through this right now with a couple of people at work who have LIED right to my face! And then tried to spin it to project their crap on me!! I can't stand a LIAR! My Mother always used to say "I will trust a Thief over a Liar any day. Because you can SEE what a Thief does, you can't see with a Liar!" But after 20 years in the NYPD I'm pretty good at being a Human Lie Detector lol! It just disgusts me that these people who I used to be close to think that little of me to LIE! It insults both my intelligence and my integrity when you try to spin it and project it on me! smdh!!!!
