Are you lieing about your drug use or alcohol usage?

Or are you just Lieing as an attempt to fit in with family and friends?

Hi,

I don't get your problem. You know you lie and you want to stop?

So why do you keep doing it?

You do know, I assume, that most people see righjt through lies after they have known you for a while. They get used to you just making it up as you go and always contradicting yourself.

So people who do still listen to you are likely to have glazed eyes or be looking over your shoulder as they ignore whatever it is you are trying to impress them with.

The answer is quite simple given you know and want to stop isn't it?

Just stop. Try a little truth and see if it is OK. Who knows? You might enjoy it.

Of course you could be lying in this post too couldn't you. Lying about lying. Now, is that possible?

I feel there is a deep seeded reason as to why you lie.  See a therapist and get to the bottom of it.  Just because you recognize that you lie to everyone does not mean you know how to stop, it's the first step towards getting help.  Maybe you lie to make yourself look better, etc, but it doesn't matter why, just that you recognize it and are trying to stop.  It's easy for someone to say "JUST STOP," but it's like telling someone suffering with anorexia to just "eat more", it's not that simple!  I apologize for the first two responses you got, they should know better!
