I lie...

So, I don't know if anyone else can relate, but I tend to lie for numerous reasons:
1. The need for attention
2. because the truth will get me locked up
3. i don't want to hurt someone so i lie to make myself look like the bad guy

I don't like that i do this and it seems to be an automatic response at times. Sometimes it is very well thought out and calculated.

I want to stop all the lying because I have done it my entire life. I just don't know how to stop!!!

I lie.
I wonder if lots do and just don't care. But I work very hard to not enhance stories anymore. Often the lies were dumb, just 'add-ons' that totally didn't even need to be there.
But BPD traits can include 'lying' so...

I lie as well..
Sometimes I think it's easier for me to accept the lie than to accept the truth, so I assume it will be easier for whoever I'm lying to as well... I find myself lying to myself all the time, and believing it so much that when I think I'm lying to other people, I am actually telling the truth... It's strange to think about, but that way if the person seems disappointed in the truth, I say "oh, I didn't mean that" and say the actual lie...
I don't know if that made any sense

I wouldn't say I lie but have been known to manipulate....

I'm not a liar where I make things up. But I definitely lie about things I have done. One trait I really hate about myself but I just can't be honest for fear of disappointing others or causing an argument...this is mainly about my drinking habits tbh.

My brother is a compulsive liar. And I don't really talk to him anymore because due to his lies he ended up making me and my bf look bad. And he doesn't even understand that he has done anything wrong!!

When my bf catches me out in my lies though he tells me I'm as bad as my brother. I can't stand this

I hate that! My hubby compares me to my mother and it drives me CRAZY mad!

There is nothing worse is there!!

No, it's damn right annoying!

I do lie. but more often than not I just leave details out. Or not say anything for fear of someone getting mad at me. Maybe its gotten to the point of where I can't tell what's real or fake in my world...

I agree with you, a lot of my lies are dumb or add-ons.

i truly hate being lied to but there are the instance where i feel it's none of their dam bussiness. or they will judge me harshly and distance themselves from me cause they don't approve ov my life choices. my family is verry judgemental and they have very high expectations ,they also see them selves as better than most. hoity toity snobs. then there is the locked up factor. in that case i resort to any means to avoid allowing that. but sometimes it can't be avoided so then my whole life in the paper world is almost more a nonreality than they say my perception of rerality really is.back to lies, i've told some doozzys in my day but sometimes when i think back i might have really believed it st the time.

I can be dishonest and not tell the whole truth. usually it's in the form of telling only up to what I have to leaving it to "if they don't ask for the details I don't hve to share.." kind of thing. Most of it is motivated by the need to not "get in trouble" for one thing or another. I don't typically lie about myself in such a way to make myself look better. Although my dishonesty is still just as bad, I hate it when people lie about themselves in the form of being kind of a "storyteller" or "bullshtter". I realize this is hypocritical but it is true that's how I feel.

i don't tell big lies, i guess i fib more than anything

I'm guilty of lying too, sometimes I think I believe what I'm lying about. Later ill think back and wonder why I thought that. I lie to people when they ask questions that are personal. Most of the time I just leave out information. Sometimes I'm proud I can lie so well and be so convincing, kinda scary.
