One in Every Family, or two or three or...

I found out yesterday that someone I know lied about something or fabricated it, or mislead someone. It was something so small and trivial yet they made a mountain out of a mole-hill- an ant-hill- a germ in a Petri-dish. I have been encountering this way to often latey and not long ago I got mad about it. I just couldn't understand WHY people lie! I mean, don't get me wrong, I've lied before. Not to excuse it but the lies I told were called "white lies", like if someone asked me if they looked good in a certain outfit and I knew they wanted to hear "yes", then that's what I told them. But I am talking about OUT & OUT LIES. Lies made up that REALLY hurt people, destroy families and ruin friendships. I went on GOOGLE (one of my favorite places!) and googled "pathological liar" or "habitual liar". I read several studies on liars and it says that these types of liars usually have very low self esteem and lie to make others think they are more interesting or important. They also could lie because they feel bad about themselves and they have to put down others to feel better about their own self. That pretty much sounds like the same thing to me! I am sure these people learned these behaviors at a young age, as a matter of a fact, I am sure they did. Who just wakes up one day and says, "I think I'm going start lying today!" I have 5, THAT'S FIVE people I know who lie like this. I can't confront them because they will either explode and freak-out or continue lying to try to cover up their past lies and somehow turn it around on you. People who feel guilty often act hostile. I look at every one of these people I know and I can see how they fit the outline I wrote above perfectly. I can't confront them because it's not my place, it only causes more problems and for the most part their never going to stop lying, so why waste my time, raise my blood pressure, and give myself a headache?
You know my mom gets up-set with me because I forgive people OVER & OVER again. I have gotten hurt so many times but that's what we are supposed to do... forgive. But what do you do when these people CONTINUE this behavior and you keep getting hurt? Forgive them...so you don't hold any bitterness in your heart and make yourself OLD QUICK, and then JUST WALK AWAY- because they know what they've done whether they admit it or not. Your anger subsides after a few days (or weeks) and you get on with IT without THEM. Did I tell you what else this study said? These types of liars usually end up spending their life sad and alone because they have alienated everyone (except of course other liars that lie to them and they just feed off one another). Okay, I feel better. This is like my brain, my thoughts, my way to vent or laugh about something.
Glad you all enjoy my points of view about life and enjoy sharing my day to day thoughts!

I didn't put a REAL picture of anyone I know above but I thought the pictures representing them are doing a great job!)
