Am I a liar?

When I have known someone for sometime, I can't help but make up ridiculous stories that never happened. I laugh at how obvious my lies are but I can't stop telling them. I don't think about it and it just happens, thankfully no one believes me. (Most of the time)

Yep, if you're randomly compelled to just make things up...try to stop before it spirals out of control even worse. Try to figure out the root of why you tell these stories-- is it to impress that person/get attention? to posture or fit in? Wishful thinking?

I've done it. Got called on it more frequently when I was younger. Turned me into a lying addict. Currently wracked with guilt trying to stop lying and unsure how to address previous lies I've told to people still in my life.
