Hmm, that's interesting GenCat...have you ever admitted that to your T, or anyone? Do you know why you do it; why you need that sort of attention? What is your motivation behind telling these lies?

I actually do the opposite - I have lied to friends, and at times to my T, to make things better than they were. I don't like the attention, or I'm ashamed of things that happened, so I lie to hide them...or at least omit big, bad, and likely important details. I do it for a variety of reasons including self-protection, trying to not be a burden, not trusting people, etc.

So, yes, I have "made up" stories or not told the truth about things, but for exactly the opposite reason as you. Funny the things we do, eh?
