My favorite crazy personality? Compulsive liars.
How much fun are those people? People who lie, even when it's easier to tell the truth. A lot of people get annoyed by this personality because they try to catch them in their lies which is a losing battle. Because they will endlessly invent new lies to cover up their previous lies because reality is not an issue in their heads. The best thing you can do is act like you believe all their lies. Because then it builds their confidence and the lies get better. Ask leading questions to take the lies in directions you'd like them to go. These people are 'build your own adventure' stories, come to life.
I knew a guy in school named Rick who was like a Picasso of lies. It was amazing to see what kind of story his mind could build. I loved asking him questions about things I knew he didn't do, just to see what kind of adventure his mind would take me on. Knowing he didn't go fishing the day before, I'd be like,
"Hey Rick, how was your fishing trip yesterday?"
"It was good. Real good. I caught about 60 salmon."
"Huh, that is real good. I would have thought 5 would be good, but 60 is fantastic. That must have taken you all day."
"Huh, it took me about a hour."
As his lies got crazier he would lean forward and make more direct eye contact. Like his body was saying, I dare you to call me on my crazy lies. I will jack you in the throat.
"You caught a salmon a minute... for a hour? That's incredible. What kind of bait do you use for salmon?"
"I don't use bait. I catch salmon with my bare hands."
"My God you're like an animal! What do you do? Do you just wade into the water and grab the salmon?"
"Pfft, I stand in a waterfall. Fight the current with my ankles which are stronger than a team of stallions. I wait for the salmon to try to jump and then I slap the to shore."
"You're like a grizzly bear."
"mm-hm. I have to fight off grizzlies while I catch my salmon. I'm up there for an hour going, 'Slap a salmon! Punch a grizzly! Slap a salmon! Kick a bear! Slap a salmon! Grab a bald eagle and fly to freedom..." -
...Da fuk.
I know a girl who tried to pass herself off as a strong fighter person who was part of the FBI and claimed that NCIS were real (the show NCIS) and that she worked with them and had a higher status than Gibbs (GOOGLE IT.)
and was also married to a hawaiian prince and that her marriage was only valid in hawaii so she was allowed to date who she wanted
annnd that she flew to Japan every weekend on her rich japanese friend's private jet so that she could go to her prestegious japanese private school where she was the top of her class and was dating a childhood friend there who happened to be a half korean, half japanese, half canadian natural blond whose uncle was president of TOYOTA and cousin to a SUPER FAMOUS KOREAN BOY BAND I-CAN'T-REMEMBER-THE-NAME-OF-CURRENTLY
Let's see, what else...
Oh, and she also claimed to be a demi-goddess and aura seeker, and once went to camp half blood with percy jackson.
along with various anime references about magic powers. -
I'll be honest here
when I was 10-11, I was a compulsive liar. I tried to make myself look cool, but when my best friend called me out on my s---, I stopped lying completely, and am probably the human equivalent of apple jack now (That's how truthful I am.)
The only thing that ever differentiated me from these people was that my lies were more believable and normal -.- -
Craziest thing I've said is that I'm a Klingon. Yet even that is believable.
