Through The Eyes Of A
Pathological Liar
“Why do you lie? ''
“People are not perfect. They do bad things. I tend to do bad things, but the big contradiction for me is that I want to be perfect. I crave perfection, and it aches me to the core knowing I will never be that, so I tend to say whatever to make me come off as perfect.”
— Henry C.
“For me, honestly, it’s just a coping mechanism. Think about it like this; when we were kids we used to hide under sheets to feel comfort and protection, right? Yea. So, I like feeling both of those things at all times. I can’t show anyone my vulnerabilities. I just can't. People are just going to take advantage of me if I do. ''
— Kate M.
“Well, both of my parents have a background of mental health disorders and having B.P.D can bring a lot of things to the table. My mom is a pathological liar. I’ve been labeled in the past as a pathological liar, so I can’t really deny it. I don’t really try to hide it either. I guess it’s just a part of me, so the only thing for me to do is embrace it.''
