I think a friend of mine is a pathological liar. This friend has lots of stories that are somewhat unbelievable and I have confirmed that most of them are lies. I was pretty close to this person before but now I am trying to cut my ties because of all the lies.
This friend has brought me a lot of stress over the past few months because of all the lies.
Should I warn my other friends about this person?

I don't like liars, I think it is much better to be a honest and genuine person. I think you should warn your friends about this person if they are close to them and might get hurt too. It is a shame people lie and hurt others and you will be better off without this person in your life.

A pathological liar will always lie over again. I think they can't seem to live without lying. Lying is their energy. They don't worry as long as happiness is present when they lie. They feel safe when they lie. They don't give regard or respect to other people's feelings. You can't change your friend's attitude.

Ignoring them and severing all relations with them is the ideal solution. Many a times however, its difficult to completely sever all links, especially if that person is in family, so listening to them with a pinch of salt is the way to deal with them. Confronting them will be of no help, except in increasing animosity, so just listen and forget. And yes, you should warn other friends about this person…you don’t want others to be taken for a ride and never knowing about it.
