Sort of like the Dos Equis man. I can speak Russian in French.

HAHAHA. Too funny. I guess it could be worse: she could be telling everyone that you have done horrible things rather than GREAT things!

It’s very hard to get compulsive liars into therapy which is one reason the field knows so little about them. Secondly, those who go into therapy often don’t tell therapists the truth (surprise, surprise–LOL).

However, there is now renewed research interest in a possible biological basis to e compulsive lying. Neuroimaging has revealed that there is a greater volume of white matter in the prefrontal cortex of compulsive liars

than in control subject. The hypothesis is that the lies may be related to the greater ability to connect suggestions to thoughts to verbalizations of those thoughts in such people. In fact, they wonder if the white matter allows for greater and faster connectivity of thoughts.

Another big problem in getting funding to study such a phenomenon is that the legal system fears what will happen if research points to a biological basis for such behavior. Ah, politics again!

Oh, Warren, how could you???

LOL. I think I’ll sit this one out.

My grandmother is a patholigical liar. We just have learned to take it in stride. And it is amusing. You can’t believe the things I’ve done with my life – according to her. I’m absolutly fantastic. Sort of like the Dos Equis man. I can speak Russian in French.
