How do I get over feeling guilty about a lie?

At times, I feel like its eating me alive. And if I tell the person it was all a lie and I did it for attention, she’ll lose all respect for me. But I really regret this and don’t know how to overcome this guilt feeling.

Answer #1

Confess it for forgiveness……

Answer #2

That’s easier said then done though

Answer #3

Either you tell the truth or you just learn to deal with it. There is no other way around it and perhaps if you explain to the person why you lied they might forgive you. =/

Answer #4

Depends on the lie, I confessed a lie to my boyfriend the other day. I called his p3nis by the wrong name and said that I didnt know why I said it [which I really dont] and that I mustve got the name from a tv show when really, it was my ex’s p3nis’ name. I wasnt even thinking about my ex, hes gross and unattractive, I cant believe I used that name, but I ‘fessed up to it because it made me feel, not guilty per se, but it made me feel like, why did I lie about that when I have no idea why I even said the wrong name, I really dont. Haha.

Answer #5

tell the truth & lift the weight.. It’ll be alright.. At least you’ll sleep better at night.. ツ

Answer #6

You will only feel better once you tell the truth. Yes it is easier said than done but it will get harder and harder for you and the longer you leave it the less chance things can be worked out.

(a few) and i think about them everyday.and i feel pressure on my chest from the guilt all the time(id say everyday unless im super busy and my mind is somewhere else)trust me you do not want to feel this. its terrible…just tell the truth

Answer #13

not saying it was right..but depending on what it is most teachers are used to getting lied to..and i don’t think shed lose respect she might be disappointing but she might be glad that you decided to tell the truth.. but then again i could be wrong… you could try sending her an email..the school district that i go to have school email account for all teachers and student to use.. you might want to check and see if you guys do?
