I am a liar

Most of my stories are lies. Including threads that i have started here, it's mostly lies. I will be telling the truth from now on, but don't believe most of what i have said in the past .

Thanks.

How brave of you to come out and admit to that. I don't think most people who lie would do that. You're obviously different. I would think it would feel freeing to start telling the truth. Thanks.

Yes I want to tell the truth from now on.

Good move...

Maybe you should think of writing some fiction???

I don't know quite if I would call you a liar; that's your word, I sometimes thought you were just joking.

I know you have an incredible imagination and sense of humor that I appreciate. I enjoy you being here.

I second that. An online persona of yours, maybe, but not outright lying. Remember that you do not owe honesty to anyone on here; your stories are marvelous the way they are.

Don't worry. Anyone could always change for the better. We are all human being. We make mistakes. So it's okay. Cheers Buddy.

I also just assumed your posts tended to be tongue in cheek. I mean... your spider pet??? lol
Tell you what. Everyone lies. Everyone. Even here. The most troublesome may be those who don't even realize that they are lying. You can substitute delusional or confused for lying in some cases but I think most of the time these people just aren't being honest with themselves. I told a big lie here once. It was necessary in my view. Some people were offended but nobody was harmed or injured in any way. Still.. a deception... a lie.
And trust me.. I know everyone tells lies of one sort or another. Self deception, sugar coated truth, little white lies. Everyone does it. If they claim they don't... well there you have another lie
Yours are entertaining at least. I might even miss them

Some of the less obvious posts were lies, or based on things that I read somewhere.

That story about the grocer who gave me some expired cream was a lie also.

Truth

I am in rehab.
I am in therapy.

Lies

I have a partner
I have a cat
I have a turtle

We still love ya!

I am confused about lying you have a turtle

Why did you "lie"? Any particular reasons? I don't hate you for it but I liked thinking about your cat which is now imaginary. Oh well.

I just want to add that some of us already have problems discerning reality. So are we supposed to assume everyone is lying? When they show support or give advice? :/

I'm glad you will be telling the truth from now on.

At least I will have to believe that you are telling the truth....

(I have trust issues...)

We all knew when you walked your spider that you were really good at stretching the truth.

The worst part of lies is that sometimes you end up telling another lie & then you can't remember who you told what to.....& they trap you & make you look bad.......

The real problem also comes when you start to believe your own lies. I lived with someone who would lie by not saying anything when asked....he thought if you didn't say anything then you weren't lying...but when someone acts on the assumptions that end up being made when someone doesn't say something.....then it does become a lie. He was also good at not wanting to bother looking up the information he was asked about so he would just say anything he thought was true & he believed it then when reality hit him in the face....he couldn't handle it.

It's better to be honest, truthful, & transparent......however storytelling & imagination definitely HAVE THEIR PLACE also.

I agree most people wouldn't admit they were lying. I think it is good that you can. Good for your recovery. This is a safe place and you are loved. Keep up the good 4th step work.

Oh, what I shame... do you want me to tell you my recent TRUE story of returning sour cream to a grocery store? No, because my true story would be boooring for you.

My advice has been genuine, although the recipients of it might have made decisions based on my background of lies. For example if you took cat advice from me it would be best to know that I don't own a cat.

Thanks for this

Thank you for this, I.T. We all have our faults. Here on PC, I often find myself appologizing for my mood swings.

Well done, man. That takes guts.

I don't know how I feel about this IT.

I've always been aware of your problem with compulsive lying but I can't help but feel bad for those who have been successfully duped by you. I mean a lot of people have gone out of their way to advise you on made up issues and you don't even apologize?

Congrats on turning over a new leaf but i'd like to see some consideration for those whose trust you've taken advantage of. It's only fair...

I have and will always wish you the best, lies or no lies. We are all fallible in our own ways. I let my emotions sometimes rule my writings, not always a good thing when i might have misinterpreted a post as a personal dig towards myself. Be gentle towards yourself.

I can say in my defence that all of those fake problems were based on reality, while the circumstances were not true, they were usually based on a question I wanted answered.

Nevertheless I am sorry for wasting people's time. I felt guilty about that at times.

Ah ok, thanks for the apology anyway - good luck with everything, continue as you mean to go on
