Pair - Compulsive Lying Personality & Shame

Do you see what direction I might be taking now?  Of course - those of you that struggle with the idea of someone compulsively lying for no apparent reason perhaps you can get a better understanding of the 'whys'.  Shame.

NOTE:  Of course this does not apply to the pure sociopath at all.  They operate within their world's w/o any emotional attachment to people other than themselves.  They purely operate for their own purpose/good/goals - which often include gaining pleasure from other's pain.

Perhaps if you would take what I am saying about all this 'shame' stuff - maybe even give me the benefit of the doubt that I might really know what I am talking about within this realm...You can then start understanding why someone might have begun lying and just never stopped...But to do that I would encourage you to review the information I have offered you on both Shame and Dishonesty & you can begin putting the puzzle together for yourself. 

People who tend to lie - tend to try and diminish any trouble they might get into as well as often try desperately to build their own selves up when they come into contact with others.  Being in the presence of others often tends to make the 'liar' feel inadequate, not good-enough, or somehow not valid as a human being.  So they build a world of their own in which they can somehow feel on par with others.  These feelings of inadequacy begin in childhood and can go undetected by others throughout a life-span.  However the 'liar' feels the deep pain of inadequacy to their core and tries to modulate it in order to function.  The whole experience is extremely demeaning perpetrating the dysfunctional and self-destructive behavior of dishonesty further.

NOTE:  I also am not talking about the individual who cheats on their significant other in order to cheat on them....I am talking about the individual who for no apparent reason can spontaneously make up u untruths and seems unable to stop this behavior. 

So how do you think about the lying behavior now?

Just Sayin' - shame might be a landmine indeed.
