Compulsive Lying

>>18374376

ease out of it. cover your old lies if you need to, but stop making new ones up. close all of the loops eventually, if your lies are things that will stop coming up over and over again.

realize that you're only lying because it's easier than actually putting the work in that is necessary for living an interesting life. also think about why it matters to you so much how you're perceived. exploring these ideas and internalizing the conclusions is what it took to get me out of my shit.

how old are you btw? you may outgrow this.

I'm 23.

Usually I end up rationalizing it as being 'for their sake' (so they don't worry that I'm struggling).

stop lying to your therapist. if you don't trust his/her guidance, find a new one. what are you struggling with?

My studies for one thing and motivation in general.

I have no real passions or drive to pursue, and I often feel indifferent towards life and the direction mine takes.

do you like that you're pursuing an interest/hobby/passion? actually pursue that.

otherwise, teach yourself how to cook or program or something.

no one is going to save you. no one is going to give your life direction. these are things you need to figure out on your own. time to get to work.
