My good friend is a compulsive liar what can i do?

[matthew91]

Cheers people. I have had a bit of research about the subject and after looking at a number of sites most people hardly realising they are doing it. He must know he is doing it because when there is a lie, like there is now, i ask him quite specific questions about it. As i said earlier he is currently saying he got a new job as a security guard. I ask him about how its going and sometimes he struggles to answer. We have been friends for many years and he is a good friend but as the years go on the lies get worse and worse and sometimes more unreal. When i found out that him saying about a heart condition was a lie i was very upset because i felt bad for him not realizing i am actually just falling for his attention seeking ways. Tomorrow i think i will try to talk to him about this job but i don't want to humiliate him. I know how crap it feels when someone finds out you have been lying and theres no getting out of it. I think i find myself slowly losing friendship with him. I don't we will see what happens. But thanks for all your replies, muchly appreciated
