Because when one is faced with the truth, it means they can no longer run from their faults. How often do people lie about their good qualities, their accomplishments? Almost never! They lie about their faults, and when one is at fault one must own it and take responsibilty to change it. So they deny their faults and blame them on others or circumstance, then play the victim. Woo is me.
Any type of change can provoke fear in most of us humans so we cling to the familiar. But, first one must have the desire to change something that has worked for them in the past to get the attention they crave. The pay off perpetuates when others pay attention to them by feeling sorry for the perpetual victim. After all, negative attention is better than none at all, so they wallow in the self-pity of their pathetic lies with no desire to change.
I think people who are incessant liars suffer from low self-esteem and self-worth mosttly, but sometimes it's a matter of not being able to trust others with the truth for fear of rejection, when the simple fact is that because they are liars makes them undesireable. Thus, the cycle continues.
