sorry for my bad english french fag here
this isnt really my problem but my best friend is a big liar, everytime he gets in trouble or had some issue his first reflex is to reviews all the possible lies in his head and see which one can get him out of the trouble.
for my part i almost never lie, cause i mostly find it useless and mostly put you in more trouble if they find the truth.
>why do i do this
maye cause you want to go out of trouble, to look more interesting, to be more funny, to troll, i really dont know maybe you even get something pleasant from liying,
>how do i stop
Think before you talk, Cause the T of think is for True.
Hope it will help you OP

pathological liar here; I'm trying to be better about it but it's tough. My first instincts are to tell good stories and avoid trouble and pathological lying helps both of those instincts immensely.

Former liar here

Every time you lie and think 'why did I just say that?' You have to admit it to who you lied to no exceptions

Just "that was a lie sorry I'm not sure why I said that"
You'll learn people are surprisingly understanding and will sometimes even trust you more. This in turn makes you feel good about yourself and good feelings are always a good enabler for breaking/creating habits

"Everything I say is a lie, including this."

Pathological liar here. I think the name for this sickness is called pseudologica phantastica. It started when I was a kid, lost a looot of friends in the process. In the end, i pretended to be people who i wasnt, some kind of identity theft. Will be in court in two weeks, seems like i will have to pay about 10k € as compensation.

It kinda stopped when I realized that people like me for what i am, not what i tell them. Its connected to a low self-esteem, we try to put ourself in a better position, because we want people to like us.

I still lie a lot, mostly to people who dont know me well. Not even consciously, it just happens.

Go see a therapist, its a known problem.

If you dont change a thing, this can lead to serious depression and trouble, you will lose your friends and all trust.

At some point even my family didnt believe me anymore, because it happened too many times that i lied to them, in any opportunity.

Cheers, you can do it ;)

Become a con man if you're a good liar.
