Chronic Liar
6 Comments

Okay. This story is the TRUTH. I think I have a problem. All my life, I have lied pretty much every day about one thing or another. Some of the lies are very minor, but others are major. I don't know what's wrong with me!! I'm constantly hurting everyone around me - including friends and family. I lost a job from lies too. It's so hard. I'm 28 years old, so I'm no longer a kid. What can I do? Is there such thing as chronic liars?? Am I normal? Probably not.
Do you think it's normal?

You could try stopping yourself you know. It would be a good start by writing your lies down and making a plan to correcting them. Apologize to people. And then seek treatment. I know it's something that could never be done overnight, and it's something that is very very hard to do. But if you are willing, then you can be cured. I might not completely understand you but I know someone who's like you so I partially understand. Seems like she can't live not telling lies for a day but then I understood one day that it was a disorder. I'm sure you've got a disorder too. You can find a way to correct your ways if you're truly willing.

My dad is 71 and he is the coolest dude on earth. I used to think he was the most awesome person on the planet; but then I noticed that he was a chronic liar. He lied about petty things. He just lied; he'd lie to get out of having to keep talking on the phone. He'd lie if he didn't want to talk about what he was really doing after he hung up. He'd say dinner was ready, or somebody just came in the door. He was a poor liar; very transparent. Today, despite all of my dad's awesome qualities and amazing unique personality, I have almost no respect for him as a human being at all. How can you respect someone who doesn't have the common decency to tell you why he's hanging up the phone? It's pathetic, and he's a pathetic person in my eyes...I can't help but feel this way. So if I were you I would do all I can to stop being a petty liar. It makes you look like a pussy, a wimp; a person with no self-respect; a coward. Do it for your own good, and the sooner the better.

Yeah I agree with chunk - liars get caught out & earn a lot of disrespect & disdain. Why? Because it is a shitty thing to do to other people. It holds them in contempt. And it says you are totally untrustworthy.

Stop it & get help doing so if you need to.
