I just saw something on that. It referenced high and mighty people who were caught. Kind of disturbing that people can get away with it long enough to get a job, position or what have you. Pseudologia fantastica is too long for me though, I just call them liars and sneaks.

I knew a lady who dated this real loser like that. We all told her he was a flake. Anyway, he was real secretive cuz he was a liar (sneak etc). He told this lady that he was a special ops guy in vietnam and that he did all this secret missions behind enemy lines. he had some scars on his stomach/side which he said resulted from being caught in a crossfire. So one day the lady was with the dude at his mothers house. SOMEHOW the subject of the scars came up and the lady said.."yeah, tell us about the scars from the crossfire"..lol...the dude's mom said..."You mean those scars he got from the bicycle wreck when he was 12??"!!!!!!!!!!!!!

She said that he got all huffy and wanted to leave real fast..when they got outside (away from the truthful mother) he said "they didnt tell her everything..the missions were so secret she didnt even know what country I was in" etc. Dude lived in his own little world. He was like Capt Kirk...OUT THERE.

lol..liar..cheat..dishonest=eventually get busted.

I told him once I thought he was suffering from Pseudologia but he said that he had never had skin problems at all......

I've heard of that affliction, but I usually diagnosed it as something else: terminal case of "cranial insertus analatus"
