News of Compulsive Lying Forum

I'm glad I saw this part of the forum.

I have a question. Even after reading stuff I still don't get this lying to a fault stuff.

I have a neighbor. Hs been my neighbor for fifteen years. From get go she would make up all these lies. Of course me being a receptive person I believed them.

Well, as time went by alot of neighbors caught on, and I finally did also. She's alright ...

Hi, does anyone think that CL's are excellent boy/girlfriends in order to make up for their lies? I've been reading stories and analyzing my own and I think that they are such good partners because they know they're doing wrong by lying.
My exboyfriend is the best boyfriend ever...I think unconsiously he's like that because he knows there are so many other things that he's doing wrong...
That's why maybe it's so hard for us ...

Okay, I have just got to ask... and please anybody respond... Am I totally crazy to always be suspicious of what my husband is doing? I try extremely hard to sit back and not worry about things. But no matter how hard I try, I can't seem to find a way to trust him. I really want him to just be the person I thought I had married and I want to be able to ...

I need help.

I am a compulsive liar.

I've never really thought much about it, and I don't know why I do it.

I've been married for 2 1/2 years, and with my husband since 1997. It's funny, over the 9 years we've been together he's known of all the times I've lied to him (well, many of them. I don't think I even know of them all.)

Last night was the final straw. I ...

I really appreciate the replies on my last post! It comforts me to know I'm not the only one going through this. Well, I've been beating myself up over this so much that I finally broke down and decided to DO something about it rather than just talk about my problem on this forum.

1 I'm getting professional help :D I realized that it was the ...

Compulsive lying is typically caused by the need for attention or low self- esteem. Typically these go hand in hand as the need for attention generally lowers the self-esteem. It gets to the point where lying becomes second nature.

The main problem with sort of behavior is that it alienates friends and loved ones often to the point where it scares them. A second problem is the fact that most people do not realize they ...

I am 16 and going to college, and I have realized I need help but don't know how to go about receiving it.

I am a pathalogical liar. I don't tell extreme lies, but I have slowly and painfully realized over this past year that half of the unharmful stories I tell are not true. My intelligence hurts me in this area because I am so good at lying noone has ever caught me. I've ...

I am actually fairly new to this site. I found it one day as I was desperately searching for some information/answers/solutions on the web one day.

I am the wife of a CL. When I met him, he swept me off my feet. He was the man of my dreams. I never thought someone could treat me as good as he did. After a short 6 months we got married.

It wasn't but a month ...

hi

Well, the first time I lied, as in reallylied,was when I was 13. It was around Valentine's Day and I had stolen $14 from my sister after an argument. I then asked the person who I though was my best friend at the time to hold it for me, which she didn't. For about a week or so that winter/spring I would argue with my parents about it and tell them I didn't take ...

I've just realised I'm a compulsive liar and I've told some awful lies, to the extent that I have lost a lot of friends, i don't know who I am anymore, and the only way out seems to be to kill myself. I need to explain the extent of the lies in order to explain why they are so bad........

Thinking back now, I guess I can see that I used to tell a lot ...
