Is it possible that your lying is a way to keep people at arm's length because you fear people finding out about what you think is 'the real you, or about your family prolems'?

hello LauraBeth, what you're saying makes a lot of sense. To answer your question about the boyfriend, I tell them he's from another school and I don't need to explain further. I haven't said so much that would make it seem like I'm telling a story or to the point where people can see through the lie, which is why I wasn't concerned until now.
