Red face people who lie for a living.

Hello Hello again, this thread is somewhat connected to the last one i posted, called: I have an issue. Well i went to that guys court date yesterday, because he had told me so many things and i was curious about how many of them were lies. I hardly talked to him, he was no threat to me, i was just curious. Probably wasnt the smartest thing to do, but i did it anyways. Anywho, he got called up to the stand, and the state called a witness, which was his probation officer, and started telling about all the things he had done, and how he has been manipulating the courts. And he kept looking back at his father and i, and scrunching up his face and shaking his head. Basically telling us that what she was saying was not true, anyways, that went VERY easy on him AGAIN, and he was able to walk out of there without going to jail. When i was walking to my car and he caught up with me, and told me that EVERYTHING she had said on the stand was a complete lie!!! A probation officer is NOT going to get in front of the judge and lie to the whole courtroom!! I understand that addicts lie, but i think he's worse than a lying addict!! Is there some kind of medical name for compulsive liars?? Is there some kind of medication or treatment? Do they have a liars anonymous? haha But seriously, it makes me sick how much this person lies, and for some reason its kinda bothering me, cuz im starting to wonder what lies he has told me, and i really dont care. I was watching him up there, when he was in front of the judge, he was just sitting there, looking back at us scrunching his face and shaking his head. And he just made me sick. I know that is very harsh, but he made me sick. Anyways, i just wanted to get that off my chest. Does anyone else know someone who LITERALLY: CONSTANTLY lies??


Peace
Melissa

Sure. Every single crack addict I ever hung out with. Including me. My boyfriend. My best friends. Glad I cleaned up my act. I hated that person I used to be.

Compulsive lying is a symptom of "borderline personality disorder". But does it really matter what he has ?

You went to his court hearing out of curiosity?

Are you sure you don't still have some kind of obsession with this guy?

That sentence is confusing.

What did you hope to gain by goign to court for a guy that you say is pestering you and that you dont want anything to do with?
And you want to be with your baby daddy and all that?

I dont get it.

I think you are fooling yourself. IMO.

Addicts lie, sometimes you just have to walk away. It doesn't really matter why he does though.

I don't allow people like that in my life anymore and things are awesome these days.

When I get upset about what someone else is doing it often has to do with a reflection of myself in one way or another.

I agree with Paulie...move on.

Peace,
Missy

I almost NEVER lie, even about "small" things. However when I was in active addiction, I was a full blown LIAR!

His actions are not a reflection of me, im upset because, he makes me feel like he thinks im stupid, like, he's making a fool out of me or something, does that make sense? He seems to think im an ignorant fool....but ur statement does have some truth to it, the lying part doesnt apply to me "anymore".
I feel as though, by posting that thread, i am getting attacked, and the thing is, all the assumptions are wrong...i know you all are trying to help....

i was'nt trying to attack you.just trying to make you see its not you.and what he's doing is not to you personally..its his lifestyle..he has to change that..you dont deserve feeling like you were stupid or anything you're not..if you were you'd buy into it and continue the relationship living with lies.you deserve happiness and respect..you have to go for what is real not what people tell you but what they do and show you.
