News of Compulsive Lying Forum

Hello :) I am new to the site as a whole, as well as this forum. I've been struggling lately and am completely unsure where to go. For years now I've have some suspicions that I might be a compulsive liar, or something of the sort. I am nervous to go to my therapist or parents about it, mostly for fear of judgement. Admitting that I have ...

Does anyone feel like they are totally telling the truth, but only from your point of view, so it seems like a lie?

From a very early age, I've been a compulsive liar. At first, I would lie about small things as an act of self preservation. I would tell my parents that I'd done chores when I hadn't or would tell classmates that I had scored better on tests than I actually had. Furthermore, my affinity with lying was fueled by the fact that I was really good at it. I felt like I was getting away ...

It's weird this time if year because no ones playing out and I've got far to much time on my hands to think.

I’m sorry that this will be super long, but I’m searching for hope. I want happiness, I want to succeed with my dreams but it’s tough. I need some kind of encouragement here, somewhere to tell the truth. Somewhere to open up to a place full of strangers that I’ll never see again. I could use some unbiased advice, and hope.
Being honest about everything is tough. This place is anonymous, and I don’t have ...

I have destroyed my relationship with the woman I love. We are not together now as we both have ailing parents.

I am so thankful for finding this forum. I am in tears. I need to overcome this so we can be together. She says she needs time and I am willing to do what's needed.

I always seem to lie when I am in an uncomfortable position. I say whatever I think will make the situation easier in the moment. This led to me losing my girlfriend of three years because she could not stand my lying anymore. I have tried to end my habit, but I always seem to mess up. I have trouble committing to things in general. How can I be courageous enough to tell the truth ...
