I have a friend well my best friend, and i think he is a compulsive lier.?

Well he lies about alot of things, im gonna name a few examples and tell me if this is stretching the truth or if it's a bigger problem. 1. When i first meet him he told be his car was 2005 Toyota Camery, but when i rode in it, it had over 95,000 miles and had damaged upholstery, now that he sold it, it magicly became a 2001 Camery. 2. When ever i buy something he always gets it cheaper, like when i imported a compact blutooth head set the size of my thumb for $30, he claimed he bought his from the verizon store for less. When i look at the verizon store there was none to be seen. 3. He claimed his dad sold his old FED EX truck for $1,000,000.00. Which is hard to believe since he gets Financial aid for college.

So now tell me, is this plain old B.SING or if its a bigger problem one i should confront him on.

Answer:
You should keep it real and ask him why he feels he has to lie to you about everything. If he continues to lie to you, or if he claims he is not lying, Just do exactly what he does. He'll eventully get straightened out.

I have a friend who has the same tendency. She and I are close enough that I can ask her, "Is that really what happened.." but you need to make sure that your friendship is solid before you do that.

Well if he lies alot maybe he cant really help it. Usually when you lie once it gets into a bigger lie that you cant really control. He might be afraid that if you find out that he lies you wont like him anymore. He could be trying to portect himself but if you havent tried confronting him I would talk to him if you are best friends because he would understand.

Since you are there and he is choosing 2 be dishonest with you I would think you have a right to say something. Just out of curiosity, what holds you back if that is occurring? It seems like some sort of bondage.

Oh, I have friends like yours, the worst is when you can't tell any thing that they have a history better than yours. Do like my brother , say that you don't believe e watch what he will do!

you should really confront your friend. it could ultimately destroy your friendship, which in come cases is the best that can happen. do you really want to be around someone knowing you can't trust them?

It sounds to me like your friend only lies about things that are "better" than yours. He may only be doing this because you might make him feel like he is in competition with you. For instance, the detail you went into describing your bluetooth head sets says to me that you are pretty proud of it. Perhaps your friend wants something to be proud of too. Next time you note him fibbing, think about the mannerisms you were using with him just before he lied. This may help you to understand why he does it.

he's probally trying 2 impress u or he cant help it he probably intimadated by u so he says stuff without thinking and goes along with it just so he wont sound stupid

If he lies alot just confront him and tell him you know he has lied and he doesnt have to. If he cant be honest with you you shouldnt be friends. Dont blame or accuse him, just be straight with him and say "I think you have been lying to me" I hope it all works out!
