uh...well it depends on teh behavior.
could be sick; could be tormented; could be sexually confused.....
i think that is bipolar.
It depends on the behavior. They could be completely unaware of this behavior. It could also be very embarrassing for them and they dont want to alk about it so they continue to deny it in efforts to drop the conversation. Again it all depends on the behavior which of which you are referring to.
Can you add a little more information about what the behaviour was that they are denying?
It depends on a few factors. Does the person truly believe it didn't happen? If so, it is possible the person is a pathological liar--a person who comes up with elaborate stories that are completely untrue, but the person not only most times believes they are true but also cannot stop control his/her compulsion to tell lies even about totally mundane, everyday things. I used to mentor in a volunteer program for troubled teens and one of my girls in the program had this problem. We both knew her father was in jail for homicide, but she couldn't help herself from telling stories about how he was a veterinarian who traveled internationally---she said that's why I'd never met him. When she was saying these things, she REALLY BELIEVED they were facts. The most difficult thing about being someone close to a person like this is that you know they need help, but it's almost impossible to get it for them unless they really want it--most times they've been lying for years as a defense mechanism and they are VERY good at it. It tough to get others that aren't close to them to believe that they have a problem. Hope this helps.
IT depends on what the repeated behaviors are. It could be obsesive compulsive. Repeating things time and time again. But only a doctor can tell you what it really is.
