How to stop lying?

I remember a while back I told a lie to a few of my friends. It was a huge lie and I don’t even know why I said it! I also tell tinsy white lies sometimes. It doesn’t make sense. I write a lot and those lies are just making stuff up on the spot. And people believe me. But later on they forget so it never matters. When I thought up the idea for the huge lie (long story so I won’t explain) I wasn’t really thinking I just started creating the elaborate story. Of course my friends knew it was me. But ever since then I’ve been afraid that I might do it again. What if I am a chronic liar? Every once in a while I get in trouble and my parents say I’m too creative. I thought they were turning something bad into a compliment. Now I realize that being too creative is a bad thing. I need to stop it before I get out of control.

I think you should do everything you can to tell the truth cus this girl at my school named hannah she lies about big or small and lets say everyone made her go home crying basically and everyone hates her beccause they found out it wasnt true and like no one trusted her so she had no close friends and everyone disliked her but you just tell your self you dont need to tell lies for attention cus thats what it sounds like why your lying is for the attention

Answer #2

sweetheart, everyone lies.

you all can sit here and tell me you don’t but it’s inevitable. actually, in health class a few weeks ago we were learning about lying and why people do it. Come to find out- studies show that everyone lies at least 21 times a day. whether it’s a little white lie or a life-changing lie, we all do it.

some of us carry our lies too far, others tell little lies to help their comfort level out.

so, don’t be worried that you lie- just on what you lie about. (:

Answer #3

Really? No I just do it without thinking, like an instinct.
