People often come across a concept such as pathology. Psychiatry has a large number of abnormalities, one of them is Munchausen syndrome. It is necessary to learn to recognize such people. Lies are the scourge of our time.
Baron Munchausen’s syndrome: have you never heard of this? The name of a literary character in most people causes extremely positive emotions. What about real people? Meeting with a similar person is clearly not a great pleasure.
What is a pathological lie and how to distinguish it?
Liars are very fond of telling tales for their own benefit. Someone thus prefers to gain authority. Why not? You can just flatter or tell an interesting story, and no one will guess that it was invented by a liar on the go. Is it possible to catch such a person in a lie? Of course, it’s not at all difficult. Only now it will be very unpleasant for you, as the situation may turn against you.
An ordinary liar knows that he is telling a lie, but he doesn’t always remember the details of the stories that he regularly voices. A completely different matter is pathological liars who invent their own castles in the air and, in fact, live in a fantasy world. Under the guise of revelation, they always present intriguing stories that evoke a ton of emotions.
Every person has enough adventures in life, only if the facts do not agree, this detail is very alarming. You involuntarily begin to think about what is happening, and eventually come to the conclusion that they are lying to me. Close friendship with a person suffering from Munchausen syndrome can be a real psychological trauma for a person who nevertheless decided on such a desperate act. Reality does not fit into reality at all, and it starts to scare.
