First Time Ever Opening Up

Morning,
So i am a compulsive liar. i have been doing this since i was a little kid and since my father passed away when i was 9. My father was into politics and our family condition was pretty good. At that time i was a shy kid. After his death, i felt inferior than everyone. I remember not telling my friends about my father's death as i was growing up. Then i would lie about our family's fiscal health as it deteriorated after his death and i was still going to an expensive private school. This habit of lying about my monetary condition has not changed till now. I am 21 now, and have moved to the states. My relatives here are wealthy and here i was able to go to a rich school because my uncle lived in a rich neighborhood. Here, i would tell everyone lies about my past life and some of the experiences i have had. Also, i would tell them how rich we are and i was able to justify it by taking my "friends" to the businesses owned by relatives. Now, i am done with this practice of lying. its eating me out and my life is not growing at all. i feel stuck at one place. I need some help.
