Am I a cumpulsive liar?

Postby 'cassie » Wed Mar 09, 2011 8:16 am

About a year ago now I pretended that I had a brother on my dads side of the family. My dad only came down once a week and no one ever questioned it because any of the stories I would tell, would always have taken place at my dads. In the end I ended up creating a whole fantasy side of my life, I pretended my dad had heaps of money but he was wasting it all on the house and that he was now in ALOT of debt. I created 'friends' of my brother of which I would hang around with. I 'created' this one guy called Jake and I pretended to have a 'crush' on him, me and my bestfriends(girls a+b+c) would sit and i'd have all these stories to tell then about how he kissed me when my brother went to the kitchen, and all these funny stories about how great he was, I felt.. superior I guess because neither of them had boyfriends or have ever even kissed a boy {nor have I}. thats how it all started. a few weeks later the group of bestfriends i told saw the cuts on my wrist, that were there because of other problems, and it started an argument when i said 'i cant promise i'll never do it again, but dont worry about it, i regret it and i wont do it anytime soon' and i said i said it because i didn't want to lie to them, and i didn't know what the future held. they accused me of being selfish and said if i dont stop they would start and i got angry, telling them that they didn't have real problems like me and told them that jake had been abusing me and controling me and even at one point said he forced me to give him oral sex. they were so sympathetic and they listened to me ramble on about how terrible it was. looking back, i have no idea why i did it. i blurted it out, but when i blurted things out, they were usually so bad that the statements themselvs were what got me in so deep with the lies. they were bad lies. one of the girls(girl A) one day said 'anyone who lets someone else hit them and doesn't hit back are just pathetic' it wasn't directed at me or any other domestic violence thing, it was about some stupid fight. but i was so worried about keeping the lie up that i freaked out at her because i thought, any girl that actually had been abused would have, and they would be suspicous if i didn't. so a huge argument started and she bascally called me out on a lie, saying i was causing a lie on nothing. which i was. then i lied about the argument we had to other people (girls B +C) because i didn't want them thinking that i was lieing aswell, but they found out anyway and they actually joked about it and then in the december i was having alot of arguments with b +c and they called me out on the lie to, basically saying that they knew + they had asked a few people that lived in the place i said they did and they had never heard of them, i denyed it. i was so caught up that i said i didn't tell them his real name because he told me not to, but they still didn't belive me. they spred it around to a few people that i had lied about it and i basialy lost all of my 'friendship group' but a close friend waas still sticking by me and i started hanging around with her in school. but i couldn't take the nerves of something happening and EVERYONE finding out about me lyin, so i got my mum to homeschool me, on the basis of me not doing aswell because im really smart, but my marks were falling because of attendance becase i've always been quite lazy + i just didnt want to have to face everyone.

could there be something wrong with me? to this day, i have told not one single person on this planet about this. no one. even when my family was 'contacted' via facebook i told them that THEY had made up, that I made it up to make people not like me. + they believed me. what can i do? i just keep lying!

Hi, cassie! Do you lie about other stuff too? It sounds like it has turned into a vicious circle for you and it just got worse and worse. Don't be ashamed, you didn't hurt any one, you're the one who got hurt. Those girls should have realized that you have a problem.
Is there any way you could get some therapy? Maybe coming clean about everything with your parents and showing them some information about compulsive lying might help them realize that they need to help you.
