I am a LIAR. I don’t know if I’m pathological or sociopath but I know I lie too much and I hate myself so much because I do. I want to stop but it is my addiction. I don’t even know how to be without lying and it’s stupid trivial stuff that I lie about because I am too insecure about how people think of me. TOTAL STRANGERS! I exaggerate stories, how sick I’m feeling. I got in a fender bender and the other lady asked me what I should do a d said she’d never been in an accident before and I said neither had I- A LIE. I have been and I knew what to do. I pretended and to call my husband and had a fake conversation of him bashing me and telling me what to do. All lies!
I told somebody I replied to a text and they showed me that I didn’t and made up a bunch of lies to cover that lie. I lie about the age I left where I was born and just about anything, but it’s trivial stuff that doesn’t even matter. I lie about reading some research that said…. and then look it to try to find some ounce of truth. I HATE IT AND IT MAKES ME HATE MYSELF. I am a wife. mother, successful professional, etc. and I cannot stop lying. I truly need help but am embarrassed to tell the truth that I lie. i just feel lie quitting my job and locking myself in my house with my kids so I don’t feel the need to impress anyone or lie.
