How can I stop my compulsive lying?

The thing to keep in mind is it’s way easier remembering the truth then a lie. When you start getting trapped in twisted lies you start mixing up your story. Just Start telling the truth from the get go cause eventually the truth will surface anyways.

That’s not compulsive lying. You’re only lying to one particular person. A lot of times people lie so that others dont see their faults and weaknesses. Thing is, if this girl is really a friend, she will accept the flaws you’re trying to cover up.

Like phrannie said, it would help to know why you’re lying. Obviously if you could just stop you would have (that’s where the compulsive comes from). So a little bit on why you feel the need to do it. And in what circumstances. Do you lie to everyone, or only certain people? Is the lying worse in certain places (say at school), than at home?

I think knowing WHY you’re so compelled to lie to this person might help…Is this the only person you feel compelled to lie to?

One thing…the fact that you feel bad about it says to me you are not a “compulsive liar”…for some reason you seem to want this person to see you as different than you really are…why?

Here’s another tidbit from an old lady…don’t do stuff to yourself that make you not like yourself. Life is hard enough without having an “enemy” within…consider not lying as being good to yourself.

its a little more complicated than that first off you need to tell this friend everthing that you have lied about and then tell them the truth they probably wont talk to you for awhile but if they are a good person then they will realize that you made a mistake and will eventually forgive you. becasue you have already started a long web of lies to this person it will be next to impossible to stop unless you come clean to them.
