story makers - liars

my classmate in high school makes lots of stories that aren't true. she always tells me that she has lots of suitors and got a handsome guy and such. i believed these at first but then i found out that they were just fabricated stories. stories she just made up. i was really laughing at myself when i found that out and believed her. i just trusted the wrong person, is all. until now, she still tells me those "too good to be true made up stories". good thing we only see each other rarely now that we are not classmates anymore. why does she have to make stories? it's just making her friends doubt her.

that reminds me of a friend who also lied in class. she was a lot worse though, she even lied going under minor surgery and have everyone worried and pity her then we found out that she actually lied. i never believe her as much after that. actually i'm not really sure why people lie to an extent that its already gone overboard but i guess its possible they have low self-esteem or maybe they are trying to get the attention they didn't have at their own home.

ah, is that so? hmmmm... that could be a sign of an illness. there's such a thing as histrionic, where the person is either an attention seeker or a flirt, bottom line is the person seeks attention and she/he isn't aware that she is doing it. Probably, if she does get a lot of attention, that brought to that illness or she's just getting spoiled. yeah, she did. Well, I still talk to her but like i said, don't trust her as much anymore.

Some people do that because they just don't have confidence with theirself, so they made up stories opposites from the reality. Sometimes it happen because of their circumstances. Maybe she just want to be accepted by others or maybe she just a big liar. Whatever it is, a lie is a lie, soon or later it will be uncovered. If her friend doubt or even hate her, then its the consecuences she had to deal with.

I also know someone like that and his stories are also out of these world, I just dont take him seriously but I do listen to his so called life story it can be entertaining sometimes. The bad things with exaggeration and lies is sooner or later you'll get caught and nobody will trust you anymore. That's what happened to him.

sooner or later, those people will lose their friends. all lies are discovered by time. people can still be friends with them but they won't trust them anymore, or worst, no one will befriend them. thanks for sharing.

There are people that there happiness is to tell a lie, just to get full attention and to up build their self, they will tell a lie. Avoid that classmate of yours, he is not a good associate.

we are never classmates now. besides, i left her that time after a school year of lies. though it's not because of her lying to me but because of her leaving me also because of finding a friend she likes better. it's fortunate of me that i found better friends. thanks for sharing.

that is sooooo true. I hate those people who are story tellers yet what they say are just made up. I had a friend like that before as well. We're so close, but then, it made me doubt her. Actually, we end up being enemies because of that attitude of her. I'm her friend but I cannot tolerate those things.

A lot of people are like that pretending to be they're not... I guess they just want attention or perhaps they just want to feel good for themselves. They want to do something but they're just afraid to do so... so instead of doing it.. they'll try to make up stories to fulfill what they can't do. guess maybe to boost their confidence and to be accepted to those around them. A sad way to look at but that's their way to be noticed...

hungry for attention? what a dumb reason. your friends' trust is lot more important than that. unfortunately, they just don't see it that way. hope they will come to realization sooner. thanks for sharing.

i think so too. she wants to look "interesting", "lucky", or whatever she wants to look like. hope she changes that habit of hers soon. i don't wanna think of bad stuff about her. she doesn't have to be a superb awesome person for she is already a nice person for her friends (before). i don't know about now. she just ruined the trust of her friends. hope the same thing won't happen now that we are all in college. thanks for sharing. :)

well, there are many people who often tell something lie like that. i used to have a friend, she is a big liar. she was just something the same like you have said. and to my opinion, she did something like that is just to make her friends around her impressed. these women are usually dont have anything, so she lied everyone to make he looked astonoshing..

why break your friends' trust just to impress them? friends will still be with them even they're not the greatest people on earth or someone that everyone adores, right? thanks for sharing.

Well, there are many people who make stories just to show that they are superior to others. They just keep lying here and there. I have a cousin who also makes a lot of stories but everyone knows about him that he is a big liar and makes a lot of stories. These stories does nothing but ruins their image in others mind

She has rich fantasy! I have a friend that is the biggest liar in the world, he once said me he was sleeping with 3 girls last night while his girlfriend left for couple of days. But he was making that from his mind since his mother mentioned he was sleeping in his parents house.... I discussed that with other friends and I believe such pople just like to get attention and some sort of respect but they are just causing the opposite... big skill in fake storytelling..so what? None is perfect.
