I knew a man who agreed to be a guarantor of a mortgage of his brother's - I think it might have been a business mortgage. He ended up homeless because he couldn't pay when his brother defaulted.

Not good if the kid starts doing it....
Is it a learnt habit? Or is it that they kind of have it in them as well?
As if they copy the lying they most know their parent is lying. It's a strange one.
Also, surely his mum would know when he is lying and recognise it....
Wouldn't a parent still be horrified at the lies or not care because they do it?!
Its such a complex thing.
Your right it must be exhausting. Surely they must be tired of it themselves...
He's got some front! What a bold lie!
Wonder if he had any luck...
I wonder if he even had a daughter?!
She sounds hard work and like the type to tell dangerous lies tbh.
Sounds like she doesn't like it that you ignored her lies and moved on with your now husband. How spiteful.
She sounds like the girl I was friends with for years. She had to have done everything I or others had. She had done it better. But it was obvious she hadn't. I now honestly have no idea what was true and what wasn't. There were so many lies.I worked with a woman for about 3 years who lied about absolutely everything. I made it my mission to prove everything she said was lie
Claimed to have given up smoking… conveniently started taking lunchtime walks just around the corner from work to smoke
I was moving into my first house, she was also funnily enough buying a new house but couldn’t tell me where it was, was being sold privately so wasn’t on any of the property apps.
She had supposedly had double figure miscarriages and was apparently pregnant again and as soon as she was questioned by manager the next day she had a miscarriage but less than 24hours later was back in work with not a word to say about it.
I confided in her a some point that my mum was an alcoholic and then her mum was a recovering alcoholic to the point that if she had another drink she might die. Her mum died during her stint but by that point I didn’t believe it. She took a week off etc. Claimed her mum had started drinking again. Work policy changed not too long after that to state that you may be asked to provide death certificates in order to be paid leave. Wish it had changed earlier as I think it was all BS.
As to the cause… I think it stemmed from being jealous of her sister and maybe she wasn’t given as much attention as a kid as she hated her sister who was supposedly a witch. She also didn’t have much going for her, no friends to name of, just a partner who was also a bit ‘off’. She was a type one diabetic so maybe she missed out on a lot as a children And then started telling tales to make up for it
I lied a lot when I was kid. It was because i liked the attention. Stuff about seeing missing items when someone said they had lost the item.
I also lied when I first started university, about what my parents did for work. It was because I was ashamed when i was surrounded by my close friends if I'm being honest. It's only now that I've grown older that I wouldn't lie or judge what people do in order to survive.
How did you pay her the money- was it by bank transfer? Would you consider getting legal advice?

I know it's easier said then done but try not to be too hard on yourself. You didn't know. My own mother lent 5k to her sister who promised to give it back, but didn't.

I was like this for a few years in my late teens. I hated myself and my life and wanted to be someone else so badly I wrote stories around it and just blurted them out left and right. No clue if people actually believed me or saw through my bull but it wouldn't have changed anything as no matter what I told others, my reality remained the same lol. I stopped because I was exhausted and no amount of momentary rush made it up to the stress and anxiety of having to keep up with an endless list of lies I've told others. Telling the truth or just not saying anything about things I'm uncomfortable with has been one of the best changes I've made for myself. I hope nobody got hurt or felt like a fool because of my own issues in the past. Thankfully my situation never got out of hand enough to get me imprisoned 
I think the difference is some of you helped yourself and recognise what you were doing.
Some people lie and can be dangerous and are still the same at an older age, they don't stop. I think the ones that tell dangerous lies and will not stop are the ones that I find worrying.

I had a horrific experience with an old colleague, in that she told the most awful lies about things I had done/ said... then when I denied doing/ saying the things she lied about, she then made me out to be a batshit crazy compulsive liar for saying I did these things in the first place. 
Absolutely awful time of my life. I soon left, but I heard through the grapevine that she had a massive falling out with her work clique- I often see them out and about and wonder do they realise now that she was the one that was a few sandwiches short!

I’ve sadly met a few compulsive liars in my time but thankfully they were incapable of keeping them small or believable so they ended up being kind of amusing in a perverse way.
One lad who was the king of bull at 6th form told us he’d been involved in the Hatfield train crash on the way to college that morning! We grew up in Essex and he had got very detoured that day if he ended up in a crash in Hertfordshire!!
Another guy told us he would get an A at a level history and he had been headhunted by St Andrew’s. He ended up resitting the year, got a D and went to a terrible uni and took 5 years to do a 3 year course as he failed every year once. He later told us he was a professor of history at a uni in China, however he sadly died in his mid thirties and in his obituary it said he was an EFL teacher in China. Such ridiculous lies and the irony was in both cases no one believed them in the first place!

They must know people don't believe them though, or do they think people do?
Have none of you checked out the BIGGEST compulsive liar in the universe yet, she he spouts crap all over the media?
Step forward Katie Price, buller extraordinaire!
If you want to see the depths of it's depravity then I suggest you click over to her pages on Celebs and then you will see for yourself the lies it puts out on a daily basis that are so transparent its hard to believe the media keep publishing it.

I had a 'friend' who was/is a complusive liar. She accused me of bullying. Her mum challenged me once on my way home asking why I had slapped said friend in the canteen the day before (a day when I had actually been off sick, so had a great alibi). My own mum went mental. Didn't really speak to her after that.
Ok, so I LOVE this thread. I met my boyfriend and we had been together for around 4 years at this point. Told each other everything as you do. I had to travel for work, so boyfriend went to my sisters and her fellas for a few drinks. Came home after a few days and he was like ‘Er, why didn’t you tell me you had a miscarriage?’ I was like ‘EH?!’ So according to my sister, when j was 16 I had a miscarriage on a park bench, she rushed me to my parents house and they took me to hospital. Have only been pregnant once.
She is so deluded she rang me telling me my mum Had took loads of pills and tried to commit suicide. I called my mum and she got pissed and fell over.
I have never confronted my sister. No one has. We just know she lies.

Oh I got a similar eons ago at school when my supposéd Best Friend's loopy mother went in the school and insisted her daughter and I were separated in class because I was "copying her daughter's essays............................................." The school complied naturally but it's rather funny though because her marks instantly went dramatically downhill after this enforced move and mine remained the same, so what does that tell you??
One of my sons had a similar experieince to yours though Saddlesoap when I receieved a phone call one morning demanding I go to the school immediately to collect him because he was apparently running riot around the corridors causing havoc! "Really" says me "Strange then that he's sitting right here beside me as he's got the dentists in half an hour!" Phone slammed down; They never did apologise for accusing him though
How good was that, that you had the day off!
Of all the days she could choose to make it up! Idiot. Did she admit she lied?
But she must have known you'd find out about your mum? That's what I don't get. Pointless and she'd obviously be found out.
Have your parents ever said anything about her lying?
A friend is a real estate agent and has lost count of how many people have lied about having the means to buy properties she's selling.
Anyone here (in NZ) can rock up to an open home (unless it's by invitation only), without having to prove they have the means to buy the house; but that doesn't stop people from spinning a yarn, talking themselves up and often getting her hopes up by saying they're going to make an offer. When she was new to the game, she got really excited, telling the sellers she had buyers lined up, which made her look bad. Of course you can't judge anyone by their appearance or by what sort of car they drive - nor can you go poking around into their financial affairs. In one case, a woman seemed so convincing, even putting forward a conditional offer (finance pending, which of course never came through). Apparently she had form for doing this, which came out when my friend attended an industry body meeting and it cropped up as a hot topic.
She often says now that she far respects people who are honest by telling her they're just visiting the property to be nosey.

I was in constant contact with my mum so I have no idea why. But the family are used to it now, we all know how she works and 90% of the family don’t talk to her. She will get the truth and spin it to make it more depressing I guess. More sadistic. Nothing is ‘just’ with her, it’s always so over the mark.
I used to lie all the time as a kid and teen. The main lie i made up was that I had 4 older brothers but i also used to say I had horses, various pets etc. I made out that I was a child model, played football for a youth club and even made out once that I had broken my finger.
This was all my fantasy life that I was living and I used to live it out in my head too.
I'm no longer in touch with anyone from my childhood and absolutely cringe at the things I used to lie about
