News of Impulse-Control Disorders

i recently joined this forum and read up on compulsive lying i immediately broke down. some of the things seemed to be so close to what i experience on a day to day basis stupid things, stupid lies about things that don't even matter. This has become second nature to me now. Why tell the truth? noone cares about me, i want to sound more interesting, i want people to like me, i always feel ...

Hi.

I want to start out with saying that if this truly is a mental disorder, I have not been diagnosed. I have been too scared to live up to that fact that all I do is spit out lies to my peers.

Lying has been natural to me for as long as I can remember. From being a child, wanting to not face trouble and punishment. And because of it, it would get me ...

Hi, so my girlfriend and I have been dating over a year, and recently I had confessed to her about lying to her for the past 6 months about me going and dancing with other girls at a party, and I had lied to her face too. I have had a huge problem with lying because I have never wanted to face myself as a failure when I do fail. Ever since I was young, ...

I am struggling over some of the lies that I had told in college. Basically, I had made claims about things I have done in life that weren’t true. I didn’t think that I would become friends with them and carry on any relationships 6 years down the road. I even told lies to my fiancé of six years that I kept hidden until recently. I have a problem with lying, making claims instead of ...

Hi, My name is Matt. I'm here because I burnt my relationship to the ground because of my lying and I need help.

Hi,

I am brand new to this place. Found you guys by googling. Thank you everyone here that has shared their experiences and stories. Just found this place a few hours ago after my husband stormed off in a rage. I read through a couple of the pinned posts about compulsive liars and a lot of my anxiety surrounding my own uncertainty issues and confusion suddenly went away when I realized that my husband fits ...

Trust me anxiety disorder medication won't help against trichlothilomania . Be advised

I lie!

It's a simply truth.

Well, that was a lie.

I STRETCH the truth to make myself appear more than I am so I can obtain narcissistic supply from my targets and victims.

Lying is the worst part - and one of the biggest hurdles I want to overcome.

I had not intended to pursue discussions in other forums, but since lying is such a big part of my life - and I am ...

about 10 months ago i've come to the realization and acceptance that i'm a compulsive liar and its a real problem. i dunno the nature of compulsive lying, there are times i can tell the truth, such as right now, but then there's other times i just impulsively, compulsively lie. i usually don't notice i have lied until after the fact. sometimes i made a ridiculous or silly lie and other times i make really ...

I have been trying to research for days on end, I started out pulling my beard hairs out and then poking around my mouth with the hairs for the little pokey pain. But as time has went on I now find myself using my middle, ring and pinky finger to push my skin upwards close to my mouth on my chin. Then using my thumb or my pointer finger to apply pressure to my stubble ...
