I live a normal life but, everything I say is a lie.. i guess i just feel a little better about myself. My best friends are clueless, my parents, my girlfriends. I can't establish a connection with anyone, everytime I just about I feel as if I'm developing a strong connect, I lie or do something I don't even mention or just lie about it. nermal?

Not normal. Maybe you should find a similar person to settle down with, then you can lie to each other all day long.
liar.
u can't be satisfied to be called like that for the rest of you life. I honestly think you need some kind of therapy to control yourself.
Live better.
"I live a normal life but everything I say is a lie..." So you are not normal. You like to trick people and hold them in contempt. You have no integrity. You are inherently untrustworthy, so no one wants to connect with you. And you must be clueless that as a liar, you aren't getting what you deserve.
Obvious fake.

I didn't believe a word of it.
i don't think it's fake, and i think it's more normal than you would think. I can't stand lying or liars... i had a girlfriend once that was super cool in every respect except she was a compulsive liar. I didn't realize at first, but as time went by i started noticing more and more... eventually i started trying to catch her in lies and setting her up in situations where she would lie just so i could call her out on it... it progressively got worse, and we split up... i got married to another person for five years and then when my marriage ended up not working this girl contacted me after the divorce. it turns out she really did have very strong feelings for me. despite all her lies she really loved me, but she couldn't control herself, i don't think she even realized how much she did it. she made things up to feel better about herself, not to hurt other people. she realized it was driving us apart and couldn't stand that, but was unable to control herself. she knew it was ruining her life, but there was nothing she could do about it because it was an unconscience habit to her or something... like when a smoker knows they are killing themselves but can't force themselves to stop smoking or when a person can't stop over eating... that was just a part of her. i think you have a real problem, and i think it will be just as hard stopping as it would be for an addict. you just have to catch yourself whenever you do it, and try to stop... try to tell the truth even if it hurts someone or whatever... (do i look fat? Yes, yes you do.) make it a sense of personal pride that you tell the truth, just like when you see a person that quit cigarettes-- they always have to tell you they don't smoke anymore, and when they stopped ... it's an accomplishment for them that they feel very proud of.
Wow! You REALLY need to get laid.
everyone lies but ur one of those mofos tht u cant trust how do u live with ur self why dont u just rob a bank next and blame it on a dog!
I think I may be doing the exact same thing.
No matter how emotionally connected I am with someone, I lie about pretty much everything.
how do we know you're not lying now?
I can say I used to do the same thing with white lies. It was completely mundane inconsequential things I lied about. I mostly edited things depending on who I was talking to. I think, for me, it had to do with feeling my regular life is boring as hell and if people knew how boring I was I wouldn't be able to make any connections or have any type of relationship. It's a subconscious defense mechanism. I used to do this a lot when I was younger because a pretty traumatic childhood (who doesn't have one of those?) and it just carried over into my early adulthood. I'd honestly talk to a therapist. Hell, every one of my friends and I have one.
At least, since you're aware and concerned about your behavior, I can pretty much tell you you're not a sociopath.
My best friends is like that
I think it's just a part of who she is, and I've accepted that about her
Although she lies alot, me and her are still able to be very close
I think she knows that I know, and dosen't do it around me as much when it's just me and her, but I can't be sure
Though I think it would be MUCH better for her if she got professinal help
I think you should too, not to be mean, but because this could really effect your life in many bad ways.
I see her cause so much drama and trouble in life because she just keeps lieing, and I wish more than anything that she wouldn't
hope things work you for you
Exactly - not trustworthy. Liars are arrogant about this & just fool themselves. As Josephene Tey pointed out: criminals are arrogant.
