I only have problems with pathological liars; people who constantly lie with ulterior motives of manipulating others and making personal gain. People who lie about shit like how great their lives are to try and impress you, or lie about how shitty their lives are to gain sympathy from you.

You know they're a pathological liar when they manifest a lie and eventually believe it's true even after exposing it to be false. Those people are the scum of the earth :pshino:

Depends on who lol. And if they lie like a little fib then wouldn't matter imo. But if it's a big lie then that's when they're done in my life lol.

I will add people, who make up some story about some stranger's persona/ life and tell that cooked up story to others claiming it to be a proven fact to feel better about themselves in some way, to that list.

The severity and frequency of lying is definitely on a continuum. People who chronically lie about superfluous matters don't really annoy me that much (i.e., "I have all those movies on BlueRay." - um...no you don't). People who lie about serious matters all the time are toxic, and I don't want them in my life. Sometimes you have to look at the intention as well. Are they usually honest, but just didn't want to hurt your feelings?

I specialize in dual diagnosis treatment (substance abuse in conjunction with thought/mood disorders), and over the years have worked with many addicts. Lying and excuses are typical; usually before they get clean. Even with these expectations, it can still be frustrating to watch people continuously make unhealthy decisions and waste their potential. If I had a dollar for every time I told someone, "shit or get off the toilet," I'd be able to retire early. Excuses are a reflection of where that person is in their life, and what they are trying to avoid. Change is difficult, especially if you have some core belief that you are a failure. Excuses are still a peeve of mine though. I believe people are responsible for their behavior (the good and the bad). If you made a mistake, just own it, apologize, and at best try to learn and change the behavior.
