What’s Worse Than A Liar

The one where she lied her way through everything!

Have you ever met someone who lied about small things as well as big things? And they dare to be offended if you don’t believe what they are saying.

I know someone who has lied the entire time I’ve known her. It started small, lying about things you don’t bother fact-checking because who lies about how fast they drive? Who cares, ma’am, if you go 40 in a 45? 

Well, other than the people behind you!

Then, you notice their stories become more extensive and extravagant. Which then makes you roll your eyes the whole time they’re talking. And as they are rambling away, you can’t help but wonder if what they are saying is true. 

Perhaps most of it is true, but who’s to know which part? After years of practice, they’ve managed to learn how to manipulate others by using tactics to sway you. I have to admit I have fallen for sad stories that turned out to be untrue. And like so many others have done, I chose to give the known liar one more chance. Hoping that the last lie would be just that, THE LAST LIE.

What’s scarier or worse than a liar?

Well, many things are scarier than a liar, but one of the things that’s on the top of the list is a liar who believes their own lie. When they start to believe their own lie, it can become easier for them to manipulate and get others to buy into whatever scheme they are selling or mischievous plot they are cooking up.

The scary part is that the better they become at telling small lies, the more extensive and dangerous the lies soon become.

You could have chosen any blog to read, but you chose mine, and I’m honored!

  3. My answer upon reading just the title was: A liar who actually believes her lies… and you came to the same conclusion. I have no patience for those people. Once I’ve caught you in one or two, I don’t bother wasting my time with you.

  6. I think what’s worse than a liar is someone who thinks it’s ok to lie because they have done nothing wrong by lying. (Sadly, this is a real person I KNEW. ) They constantly lied to me, like when they were my roommate and I told them not to enter my room (which was locked). Then I saw a photo on their Facebook of something from my room with my room wall as the background. After that, I started to catch more lies, and each time, they would say I was mistaken.

  12. I distinguish lying from bullshit. To me, if someone lies about their golf score, or something else ordinary to look better, I call that just bullshitting. But, if someone lies to stay out of trouble or to hurt someone, that’s a lie I can’t abide. Own up to your mistakes, and move on. I’ve made many and I’ll likely make many more, but I won’t throw someone under the bus to make myself look better (or LESS guilty). Good piece, Bella.

      1. He was a master manipulator. The walls in our office were paper thin. He played all the secretaries to get info about their bosses. Then, he turned around and used the info he collected against his cronies. He’d take the info they gave him and embellish what they said. People trusted him because he wore a police uniform.

  19. Guuurrrrrllllll, we witness this all the time. The type of liars who believe their own lies are narcissists. I remember my father used to say when we were growing up, “A liar is a thief!” I don’t know where he got that from, but while I think about it a liar steels the truth, thus making it a lie. So I supposed my father was right about that! But I too had a so-called friend from years ago who lied her ass off. Of course, I did find out she had a problem with shoplifting, even from the grocery story. Child, that chick is in the wind, and has been a long time ago. She could have stolen from me and I didn’t even know it. Geez! 🐱‍👤🐱‍👤🐱‍👤
