The act of lying greatly interferes with the liar's life. This pathology has even been given a name: Mitomania, a chronic liar. Mythomania is a psychological disorder in which the person lies compulsively, without there being any other psychological disorder or dementia.

Lying is something so present in the lives of people who lie too much that it negatively interferes with their relationships and their quality of life.The causes of this mania for lyingare still being studied, but some factors can point to the condition, such as personal experiences, life history, relationships and even genetics.

For the chronic liar it is so common to lie that even they come to believe that it is real.Common lying occurs when we think that if we tell the truth we could harm ourselves or someone else, so we lie to escape from something we imagine to be harmful.There are situations in which lying is also seen as survival, because the truth will not always resolve a certain situation and so the person lies to protect themselves or others.

It's not good in any situation to use lying as a weapon to resolve any situation, but it's understandable.On the other hand, chronic lying must be treated, as it's very damaging for the person who lies and also for the people who live with the chronic liar.
