I'm beginning to accept my condition, specially after realizing I have very few options for new beginnings should I not fix myself soon.
As aware as I am, I can't stop. My lies have since decreased in size and there'd be little repercussion for them aside from minor embarrassment now, but I wish to completely stop, and maybe have the guts to tie things up at the places I had to run from.
Are there any self aware pathological liars here who sought therapy or other sorts of help? How did it go? Is anything even effective?
What drives you to lie?

Depends on the situation. Sometimes I do it to achieve certain goals, sometimes to fit in or stand out, according to the needs of a situation, but a lot of times, the lies come out for no reason.
I remember being particularly puzzled about why I lied about my month of birthday and zodiac sign when my boss had a teen magazine in hand and wanted to read my horoscope, for example.
pls respond
Wish I could offer some advice but unfortunately I've got the same problem
Lies just come out naturally, half the time they aren't intentional or for any particular reason. I'm not sure what the cause is so I don't know how to fix it, or even if it needs to be fixed.
The biggest problem it's caused me is that I often have trouble figuring out how I really feel about things because I start to believe my own lies

It happens with me too. There are lies I believed so thoroughly I forgot all evidence of the truth.
