News of Compulsive Lying Forum

I started lying as a child, thinking back I think I did it as a way to get people to think about my background differently as I was the victim of some serious abuse. Maybe that is a crutch, I don't know. I lie about stupid things, I told people I was born elsewhere, I told people that I have lived elsewhere. In the big picture these lies don't really "gain" me anything, but I ...

I am 40 years old and have everything a man at my age could wish for. A job, a wonderful wife and 4 wonderful children, my problem is that I cannot stop telling lies, and I really want to.
I grew up being put in the shadow of my older brother being told I was not planned, I was then in a violent relationship where my ex would attack me for no reason. I started ...

Hi,

I've been lying ever since I was maybe 6 or 7. I'm 15 now. When I was younger, I had this friend and I would always tell her that I was rich and that I had a horse. I should have learned my lesson after my mom told her that we weren't rich and that I didn't have a horse, but no, I had to keep lying.

Well, anyway, we moved away and I've ...

okay, so i just found out one of my good friends, "jane" has lied for an entire year about having this boyfriend. so that may seem like a girl thing, but it's a little bit more complex than that. first of all, she's done this before. but that was in high school. it was a shock, and upsetting, but we wrote it off as insecurity. now, i think she has a problem. now that we ...

I have just read through all the posts on this website and am wondering if there is any good news?... Everyone seems to be saying get out while you can. My boyfriend is a liar, and I am beginning to think compulsive because he lies about stupid things that most people wouldn't but they always seem to be for fear of displeasing people - he is perfect apart from this rather large flaw. I have ...

Didn't tell me until we were seeing each other for a month he had a daughter...He SAID he was divorced for three years...We were living together his mail was still going to their old house (which he SAID no one lived and the Post office must not have put the fwd through the system)... I found a set of keys and went in the (supposed) vacant house, it was fully furnished... Found a telephone bill ...

My mom is a compulsive liar and it is really starting to affect the entire family. My parent's divorced and we of course blamed everything on my dad because my mom filled our heads with such stories about him. My dad knew all along that she lies, but never wanted us to know so he just took the blame. She is on the verge of losing her house because she hasn't paid federal taxes in ...

Hi everyone. I guess I just want to tell my story so if you read it and have any thoughts, I’d really appreciate it.

I’ve always known I was liar of some description, but when you’re young the consequences are reasonably minimal. Telling your parents you’re at one place and not the other is pretty normal for a teenager! But after I started to get into relationships, things got a little more complex. But still ...

I hope everyone has a few moments to read this. As it is a long story and I'll make it as short as possible. I'm on this site to meet friends and new people. Everyone has probably heard of it, Myspace. Well, I found a good looking guy in my area who was my age on there. His name was "Steve". I requested to be his friend and he accepted. We started talking through e-mails ...
