Ruined Reputation
A clear sign of a compulsive liar is someone who lies to the point of ruining their own reputation.1‘When Does Compulsive Lying Become a Pathological Disorder?’ UnitedWeCare, 2021, www.unitedwecare.com/compulsive-lying-pathological-disorder. This goes back to the notion that compulsive liars are not clear about what they're doing, so they lie without regard for how they're affected by it.
They may even realize they're causing damage to others' perceptions of them, but since lying is a compulsion, they can't stop themselves from engaging in the behavior.
