Narcissists lie so easily; it's like taking a breath. They are clever with their lies. Narcissists lie with a purpose in mind. Their goal is to get them who, what and where they want  as quickly as possible. Narcissists lie to everyone:spouses, partners, parents, children, bosses, co-workers, friends. The narcissistic personality has not developed a conscience that makes discriminations about what is right and wrong. These indivdiuals tell lies based on personal expediencies and their extreme sense of self entitlement. They are unconcertained about the effect of their lies and betrayals upon others, even marital partners who have shared their lives for decades or their children for whom they should set an example of integrity.  The narcissist decides if he is going to lie based on whether he can get away with it or not.  

No one can have a meaningful authentic relationship with a person who is constantly lying. The perpetual cascade of lies that flow from the narcissist fuel his grandiosity and keep his ego well inflated. This works for the narcissist who doesn't have the word "truth" in his life vocabulary but it is cruel and harmful to those who share his life. Visit my website:www.thenarcissistinyourlife.com
