Harry, here's some reading about chronic lying. It may do you some
good and help you realize your addiction. Take special note about the
part where chronic liars become defensive:

There are many people that just can't stop lying. In order to avoid
the truth this path is chosen. A lie that is said for someone's
benefit is to cheat another. However there are some people that always
lie, meaning that they are looked upon as liars for everything and
anything that they might say. Anyone who has the habit of lying
continuously is called as compulsive liar. It is a condition where a
person is just unable to speak the truth, even if he tries to put it
in a simple and truthful way there happens to be a point at which he
will be unable to continue with the harsh truths and in order to avoid
this he will start it all again with lying.

Compulsive lying is also like an addiction just like sex, drugs,
smoking and so on. Just as a person requires help under all these
conditions, the situation is the same even with compulsive lying. Any
person can be a compulsive liar; your daughters, sons, husbands,
wife's, girlfriends, boyfriends etc. Instead of avoiding your
compulsive liar (friend or spouse) you can help them deal with this
disease just like you would do in case of a more evident addiction.

For this you don't have to directly approach them and tell them that
they are lying as this could hurt their feelings or make them
defensive. Instead opt for a way that would help them. Try showing
them that you know about the lies, but try and take it easy by telling
them that you knew it was meant as a joke. Let the victim realize that
there is a problem and help them. You can take the victim to
psychiatrist and expect a change in him/her.
