"The study found the pathological liars were more likely to experience distress and impaired functioning, especially in social relationships."
I am quite interested in the behavior of Trump. As far as we know he tells a lot of lies but it seems the above quote does not apply to him.
Could it be that distress and impaired functioning only apply to people who are able to experience negative consequences of their lies?
Meaning two things:
* There are negative consequences, so they experience them.
* They see the consequences as negative.
- mercer 6y agoI don't get the impression Trump is lacking in 'distress and impaired functioning, especially in social relationships'. He seems rather thin-skinned, unhappy, and as far as I can tell he doesn't seem to have any real friends. What makes you think he makes it 'work' other than being, by some measures, successful?
