Are all compulsive liars evil?

Question

I'm referring to an earlier question about the Matthews girl, Huntley and his lady friend. Standing lying through their teeth, knowing what they'd been up to.

Answer 1

only when they become politicians

Answer 2

They just don't believe that they have done anything wrong sadly

Answer 3

I never lie when Im joking.

Answer 4

They are a calulating bunch, with no respect for other people, spinning off metres of trash usually thinking they are conning the listeners. However, a lot of them suffer from another ailment, and its called bad memory, which usually drops them clean into the pan!

Answer 5

No, not always. I used to know someone who used to tell lies all the time, but they were harmless lies, I think to make himself seem more interesting. He was actually a really lovely man, but  I think he was insecure.

People whose lies hurt and damage other people though are a different kettle of fish.

Answer 6

Maxine Carr was not consciously lying.

Answer 7

Not all compulsive liars are evil, it is a physiological problem.   The ones you have mentioned are a bit evil though.

Answer 8

No, many compulsive liars are very compassionate!

Answer 9

They don't understand that they are lying.

How can they be evil???? If they don't know what they are doing??

So to answer you question I would have to honestly say - No...

Answer 10

Self- deception.  If you tell yourself lies long enough, you will start believing them and then you won't be able to determine when you are or aren't really telling the truth.

Answer 11

No they're not - they have a psychological or personailty disorder.  

Evil people are often compulsive liars though, or they wouldn't get away with their evil deeds.

Answer 12

no not always

A friend if mine is a serious compulsive liar, he's just not capable of telling the truth but that doesn't make him and people like him evil
