Can You Catch a Compulsive Liar with a Lie Detector Test?
Compulsive liars, making up about 3-5% of the US population, weave elaborate lies for attention, often without malice. Rooted possibly in childhood experiences, their lies differ from pathological liars who may have underlying mental disorders. While spotting a compulsive liar is easier than a pathological one, confronting them rarely changes their behavior. Rehabilitation is challenging and requires the liar's willingness to change.
