It has not happened to them that they are talking to a person, and this begins to tell a story a little fantasy, but nevertheless by respect you believe to him because at the end of the day it does not have much logic that lies to you, nevertheless you return to find that person in other occasions, and begins with another history very similar to the before already told, at that precise moment it is that we must understand, that we have in front of us a person with problems of Mythomania.
What is Mythomania?
It is a psychological disorder, also known as Fantastic Pseudology. The person who presents this terrible disorder is called a Mythomaniac, sometimes we normalize the lying in a continuous way, and invent some story or other to show off with friends and acquaintances, but we have to be very careful when we cross that line, and we begin to suffer from this disorder without knowing it, it is possible to detect it because it is capable of telling a story, with the purpose of deforming the reality and thus to call the attention, to pass for someone interesting, who has lived incredible things. The mythomaniac is capable of distorting his reality, through his stories with several purposes, even to swindle and deceive, even though the individual who presents this disorder does the impossible, not to be discovered, in his stories, anecdotes, which narrate as great feats, He is always afraid or doubtful, that they do not believe him, so when his family and closest friends begin to notice that such stories are lies, they move away from him, and do not take him into account, when making decisions, and begin to isolate him from his environment.
Mythomania, like any other disorder, has certain symptoms, which we will mention briefly:
Anxiety - At that precise moment when that individual begins to lie to the people around him, the levels of anxiety begin to rise, and we can see them reflected in his legs, they begin to move him very quickly, his hands begin to sweat, they cannot keep them still, among others.
Thoughts - Every mythomaniac spends his days, thinking about what great lie he is going to tell to impress others, and leave them captivated, the reason for this is that they always have to be the center of attention.
Self-esteem - Mythomaniacs have a very low self-esteem, so they tend to lie, because their life is in chaos, and they prefer to create a lie, a fiction, to solve their internal problems and try to improve their life, it is quite complicated.
Social Skills - The mythomaniac by nature finds it very difficult to socialize, to engage in conversations on various subjects, to have great friendships, to live a love, because they know that by being with a person for so long, their lies will be discovered, so they prefer to isolate themselves and only chat with strangers who obviously know nothing about their life, and can easily be surprised, according to specialists mythomania is accompanied by other mental problems, so it is necessary to present these symptoms, to go to a specialist immediately.
As we mentioned before in the symptoms, one of the causes of mythomania, is low self-esteem, having an internal conflict, leads you to lie, to forget the problems of your life, and focus on the fictional life you created, a perfect one, where there are no problems or defects, according to a study published by the British Journal of Psychiatry:"It establishes that one of the causes of mythomania is a neurological imbalance". Mythomania has treatment, however this depends clearly on the individual who has this problem, you need to go to a specialist and be treated, which will show what the perception of current reality, and especially the importance of loving you, accepting you, not having to pretend something or someone you're not, certainly this topic is very interesting, and very little commented, we think that to lie very often and to exaggerate a little some history, can be something normal or a game, but we do not know that there is a very short way, towards the mythomania, so it is necessary to be careful, always to consult with a specialist, but mainly to Accept us as we are, without important our defects.
