Okay im not totaly positive i know the correct definition of this but im just using it as i know it so please forgive me if im worng..
but
there is a girl me and my friends have befriended, its been about a month now and we have noticed that she changes stuff say in a story, or what she had said, or even just when u ask her a personal question, she just lies right out.
Now with a habitiaul liar, they do it all the time they cant help it right?....im not sure.... but me question is.. could you ever befriend and maintain a friendshiop with someone who is like this?...

You are correct...a habitual liar is someone that lies all the time. They, however, can help it if they wanted to but just refuse to. I couldn't be friends with this type of person 1) because i would never know if they were ever telling me the truth or not and 2) i couldn't trust them in sharing anything with them because they would just go to someone else and say what i said or totally change the subject. With friendship comes trust and you can't trust a liar. that's the way i feel about it. thanks for posting and God bless

I think a person who constantly lies has some bad problems that causes them to do this.I feel they are either very insecure or have deeper problems..I supposs i could be friend them but i would know that anything coming out of their mouth was a lie, so how can you maintain a friendship with a liar..I would say that it would be very hard.You could never believe anything they said..I would not be rude to a liar.If they were willing to seek treatment for their problems i could probably befriend them, but other than being nice to them and being there for them if they needed me,i do not think i would want to be friends with a liar..Certainly not make them a good friend...

i will so not befriend a liar.. but.. i do have friends that are liars.. i know they're lying when they talk to me.. sometimes, it's too obvious as they're tryin to bullsh*t in a conversation. But when it comes to relationship, this issue became even more sensitive. There should be lots of trust when it comes to friendship and relationships. why lie among one another? if they can lie to you today, why not tomorrow? and when will they learn their lessons? they won't.. they just simply wont.. so it's more advisable for you to find another new friend. that's what i think. thank you =)

You could but I would never expect her to tell you some thing believeble. I am not sure the reason y would would want that kind of friend ship. Seems to me that you could never trust that friend.

Well one reason i keep her as a friend is i am a veary nice person. i cant just not like someone unless they do somthing to me. and because we have came to terms with just let her talk and dont beelive anything she says i can have her as a friend.. as a close friend no. that i do not or would not even think about. so i guess you could more or less say she an aquaintence, but she is really a nice girl.

wow this is something I could never do, I could never be a friend of anyone that lies, I know a couple of people like this and I will not have anything to do with them
forget that, No way, how can anyone do this, not knowing what to believe is an awful way to have a friendship. I have a family member also that tells lie after lie and always contradicts them-self, it is a shame.

Actually I kind of am friends with a habitual liar. He can't seem to stop lying. He had an accident with his truck and made up three different lies about it. It is hard to tell when he is telling the truth and when he is lying. I don't know some people say it is almost like a disease. People who lie all the time can't tell their lies from truth either. I guess I have learned to deal with it. As long as he doesn't lie about something that endangers another life, than I guess I can live with that.

It really depends. I personally have met 2 kinds of liars. There are some who lie to boast or to hide their true feelings. (No ill intention)
There are others who lie to hurt others. (with ill intention)
For those who lie with no ill intention, I may still be able to be friends with them. However, we can never be good friends.
For those who lie with bad intention, I will never befriend them. They do not deserve my friendship.
Friendship is based on trust. For a friendship or any relationship to be long lasting, there must be mutual trust and honesty.
