What are the motives of a compulsive liar?
It’s very difficult to tell, usually its to protect themselves, but they can’t stop, they don’t realise what they are doing and its very unlikely they will change. But it is possible to change, I lived with a compulsive liar for years and now he is pretty much cured. Simply tell him/her that you know they have a problem with lying, and ask him to get help. Once he accepts he has a problem it will be easier.
