News of Compulsive Lying Forum

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've never thought about my life in this way before but it's just occurred to me that I've been leading a double life and I've been doing this for all of my life.

I'm sure this must fall into the realm of compulsive lying because all I've ever done for all of ...

Best thing I ever did for my kid was say

You wanna be the guy who makes mistakes & can correct them?
Or You wanna be a liar?
Cuz these are 2 VERY different guys

Do you feel as though everyone else is a liar too?

I used to lie all the time and to be honest I didn't even know I was doing it.
I think it was because I felt ashamed of who I was and where I was from and what was happening to me and it was a defence mechanism.

It went on up until recently really and I still find myself doing it now but ...

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 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 ...

I've been working on this for a long time. Bounced some checks and didn't tell her and brought back all the fears and hurt. I've got to do this better and get it figured out for good. Still an idiot.

A person can tell a lie, live a lie, or believe a lie. The amount of lies you allow in your life will determine the extent of crazy you become.
Lies are not real, so telling them about yourself means that the real you literally doesn't exist. There is no you, no one to trust.... to love.... to believe in. You are a shadow. You cant even love yourself cuz you dont know who you ...
