Pseudologia fantastica, also known as pathological lying or mythomania, is a psychiatric phenomenon characterized by chronic, elaborate, and compulsive fabrications that mix truth and fiction, usually portraying the person in a self-aggrandizing role. Frequently linked to Cluster B personality disorders (such as narcissistic or antisocial personality traits)
Elaborate Narratives: Stories involve detailed accounts of personal achievements, heroic acts, tragic backgrounds, or influential connections
Mix of Fact and Fiction: Fabrications usually build upon a small kernel of truth rather than being completely impossible
Lack of Clear Gain: Deception occurs out of proportion to any objective benefit, driven instead by internal psychological factors or dyscontrol
Typically involves a clear motive, such as seeking attention, admiration, pity, or assistance. Lies may be a form of manipulation, mixing truth and falsehood
