I have a relative who is such a liar that she lies much more often than she tells the truth.

If anyone has been around her for awhile they realize she does it and just learn to ignore her.

I used to date a girl who was basically honest but when she did lie, was so good at it that even knowing for certain she was lying, I found myself believing her.

I don't know which is worse.

Within the last several months I realized a person I had considered a friend was a pathological liar. I hadn't realized it because I didn't hang around with this person a lot until a few months ago, and I didn't really want to see the faults of this person, in order to maintain the friendship.

Pathological liars need to be avoided like a serious illness. They are destructive like poison. I learned a valuable lesson, albeit the hard way.
