Is there any sort of mental condition where pathological liars actually believe their lies to be true?
I work with a guy who's constantly telling tall tales about how his family's in the mafia, he's public enemy #1 with the cops following him everywhere, he hangs out with bazillionaires, and has a fleet of cars from BMW's to Escalades, and low-riders, which are always coincidentally parked too far away for anyone to see it. Some of his stories are so ridiculous, they don't even make sense. Co-workers have gently called him on it many times, but he still does it constantly.
I'm honestly wondering if he has some sort of psychological condition that causes him to believe his lies are true. His claims are so ridiculous, I can't figure out how a rational person could believe these claims to be even remotely plausible.
