The Lying is Hurting Me

Postby ShallowGlass » Sun Sep 16, 2012 11:48 pm

I've been lying for as long as I can remember. Even as a child, I don't recall ever feeling any guilt about lying. And I don't maliciously lie or like, plan out elaborate lies. But I lie a lot. I guess compulsively, a lot of times I don't even think about it. But recently, somebody I cared about confronted me about it. They had asked me before if I lied to them and I told them that I lied to everybody and that I lied a lot and that they were no exception. They asked this April of last year.
Well, today they told me never to talk to them again. But the three things they're accusing me of lying about...I was actually telling the truth and they're getting the false information from another party. But considering my past, they don't believe me. I'm understandably upset, but I also can't be angry with them. And I can't fix this because I'm telling the truth. I can't just apologize and say "I'm sorry, I was lying." because this time, I'm not. What do I do about this? Do I just accept this because I deserve it?

Yes, I think so. In three years or so maybe you can sit down with them and explain.

The problem is You blew your trust with them. Own that- and try to move on and let them do so, to.

I know you say you have no guilt for it- so maybe this is another way to learn not to lie instead of the normal empathy people feel- it's the loss you have to face that may help you deal with it.

Best of luck!
