Compromised Credibility
Another sign of a compulsive liar is someone who has no credibility with others in their life.1‘When Does Compulsive Lying Become a Pathological Disorder?’ UnitedWeCare, 2021, www.unitedwecare.com/compulsive-lying-pathological-disorder. If others around them don't trust what the individual says, then this calls into question their trustworthiness or personal credibility in other areas.
This might extend to relationships with family, friends, coworkers and bosses.1‘When Does Compulsive Lying Become a Pathological Disorder?’ UnitedWeCare, 2021, www.unitedwecare.com/compulsive-lying-pathological-disorder. This might also contribute to the social distress and sense of isolation sometimes brought about by this disorder.
