What is a Pathological Liar?
A pathological liar is someone who compulsively tells falsehoods regularly. They fabricate stories or events, often believing their own lies. Psychological factors might contribute to their tendency to lie habitually. Pathological liars may experience guilt and anxiety after telling lies. Recognizing patterns in their lies helps in understanding their motives. They might lie about trivial matters, making it harder to detect. Treatment often involves therapy, addressing underlying issues and behaviors.
However, when misused, mirroring can become a manipulative tool. In the context of cyberstalking, individuals can employ mirroring strategies to create a false sense of intimacy or connection, making it easier for them to control, intimidate, or harass their victims.
