    How often do you lie thinking you’ll be believed and how often are you aware that others know you’re lying?

    I worked with someone who had this disorder and most of us were aware that he was lying and I wondered why he continued or whether he thought that we believed him.

      Not often. I usually do it without thinking. It’s something I need to make a conscious decision to stop doing. People who are close to me know about it and take everything I say with a pitch of slat. My nickname in school was “lying (name)” and my dad sometimes makes jokes about it.
