Not usually: Manipulative lies are the hallmark of the antisocial personality, but the vast majority of liars are NOT sociopathic. Insecurely attached individuals tend to lie more than those who are more securely attached, as do people who are low in conscientiousness. People who are overly concerned about impression management tend to be more prone to lying than people who are less preoccupied with impressing
