Lying!

Yan-yan · 30-05-2009, 06:44 AM

Im not sure if this is in the right place, sorry if its not..

Well im not realy sure why im posting and its kinda embarrasing for me to post but,, I have started to notice that i have a serious problem with telling the truth. I don't lie online. Been online is kind of my escape from my lies because i have no reason to lie to people who i have ever evan met.

I mainly lie to people close to me. I don't evan relise im doing it. I can just be having a general conversation and tell a big story that isn't evan true. Most of the time i beleave my own lies. I know its pathetic. I dont relise im lying. I dont realy lie about anything serious. Im not sure why i do it at all realy. I just start rambeling about things that arn't evan true..

I used to be one of the most honest people ever but over the past year i just started lying and its got more frequent.

I realy need to stop but i can't control it.

Any sugestions?

Hey. I'm not too sure either. I don't really have any advice despite having an older brother who constantly lied about everything. But I too respect you being honest about it on here. Such a hard thing to do. You say over the past year? Can you think of anything that has happened around that time that may have prompted you to start lying? Could it be maybe it makes you feel better when you lie? I'm not sure.. sorry. But I hope someone can help you *hugs*

Maybe it's a way of coping? If your life was ok you wouldn't need to. I think you should get some support and look at ways of improving how you feel, so that you don't feel the need to make things up x

Thank You everyone.. :)

Yeah, I agree with the other responses, and i, infact think you're pretty strong to be able to admit this to yourself. Maybe it is a way of coping as has already been suggested, especially since it's not been a lifelong thing. Have you considered counselling? It sounds like the sort of thing where this could help?

take care of yourself,

i like xlollzx theory!
maybe its something that you need to tackle from the root. try to uncover what set it off, the cause, and work from there? i think it is really positive that you have recongised what you're doing though.
take care of yourself

Yeh its okaiime addmitting it on here because come on not many people on here are the type to judge and no-body knows me.But if i tell anyone no-one will trust me.(Im not saying they should) But it would just be weird. Im not an entertainer i lie about all sorts of crap. Its not too serious now but its getting worse and it worries me. I have only just noticed realy.

i too respect your honesty.

i lie ALOT but only with my family, i'll make up stories about life really, like they'll ask what i've been upto, and to cover for my absent periods and make me look like i have a brill life, i pile out utter crap about what i've been upto and things that are going on.
it doesn't bother me, cos its just with my family, and i know i do it cos they dont know anything about me, and i need to make a 'fake me' to show to them.
if that makes sense?

i hope that someone can help you with this. take care!
:)
