    I grew up around a lot of pathological liars, and still have two in my life. I detect it so quickly. It’s not like the kind of lying I do, pathological lying is compulsive and sometimes pointless. It has nothing to do with body language, it’s all verbal clues.

    I have a really good friend now that I would have written off as a pathological liar. But I had to be around him because we kept getting assigned together. What happened was once he detected that I don’t care about machismo or if he could beat me in a fight, he stopped lying because he was no longer trying to impress me.
