I’ve lied to over 20 people in my life and have lost most of them. I would tell them terrible things that happened to me like being abused at home and stuff like that when it all was a lie. I made people believe me to the point where they spent all their time making sure I was okay. I have hurt lots of good people because of this. I pray to God and ask for forgiveness. Some of the people found out I was doing this and hate me and think I’m crazy. I don’t know why I did it. I told these kind of lies to some of my best friends. I’m a terrible person. My boyfriend doesn’t know that I used to do this and I even told him a few lies when we first met. I’m afraid to tell him the truth because I don’t want to hurt him. I wish I could take back all the pain I’ve caused those people. I think I did it because I felt like then people would have a reason to care about me. After meeting my boyfriend (the love of my life) I now realize I don’t have to do that anymore to get someone to care about me. I just have to be me.
