Thread OP
Yes I’m ND. But as I’ve stated elsewhere it’s actually really common even with neurotypical people to not trust someone who lied to them. The fact that the example is something of such little consequence actually makes it worse because someone who lies about inconsequential things cannot be trusted to be honest about important matters.

But again, I think context matters. I’m working off the premise of this being a face to face encounter where an entire conversation takes place, not a throwaway comment either in person or on social media. That sort of behavior wouldn’t erode my trust, I would assume it was an avoidance tactic. But to partake in a whole conversation based on the lie that one is knowledgeable about the subject of the conversation is shitty behavior at the very kindest and indicative of major character defects.

The only real impact my ND has on this is that I’m baffled at how many people think being caught in a lie wouldn’t someone’s erode trust in the liar. It absolutely will if we’re talking about grown adults. Anyone mid twenties and above who does that stuff is flawed. Great for them if they can surround themselves with people like the ones in this thread who praise them for being compulsive liars but somehow I doubt that’s actually the case.

I'm still baffled by weird stuff NT people do. I've mostly given up trying and I just take each situation as they happen. I'm just so weirded out by this situation, though. How hard is it to say, "yeah, I tried the first book, but I couldn't get into it"? Like, is it painful or something??

I am NT and baffled too. I can understand why someone would do it, but I can't understand how everyone so mellow about it.

I don't necessarily think that relationships with a compulsive liar are necessarily that bad. But I do think that it makes things awkward in a long run.
