Lying to make yourself look more important than another person in a conversation. For instance there are a few people at my college that do this. I got in a conversation with this one girl, and we talked about all the concerts we went to. She claimed to have worked for a ticket company and that she got backstage passes for a No Doubt concert and that she knew Gwen Stefani. I wanted to laugh ...

Okay, so this all started about a year ago. I was online chatting with people and started talking to this guy. He ended up asking for my photo and I have very low self esteem so not think it would harm anyone ...

I am now certain that my boyfriend is a compulsive liar. The problem is that some of the things compulsive liars lie about actually appear to be true. Before he moved in, he attributed his lying to having working in the Navy Seals for 30 years in lines of work requiring him to lie. It appears that he was indeed a Navy Seal. But now that I see him up close I can clearly see ...

I heart goes out to everyone here as I am a compulsive liar as well.

My problem has stemmed from a very young age as well. From as long as I can remember, I lied to get out of almost anything. My mother always called me stupid, although I could carry anger, I chose not to. I always said she did the best she could. She suffered from depression almost her whole life.

My insecurities ...

I'm not sure how I developed the need to appear like I have everything together, but it is definately a part of me. When I was younger I went to great lengths to make sure that my parents did not find out about poor grades. I could have earned straight A's had I wanted to, but it just was not that important to me and I did not try very hard. I always told myself ...

Hey,
I've been a (self diagnosed) compulsive liar since I was about 7. I'm just heading to work, but, I'll probably make a more detailed post with more questions later. I just wanted to ask one burning question:
