I lie all the time and don't know what to do about it.

This isn't really an is it normal question because I already know it's not. I just don't know how to stop it.
I've always had a bad habit of lying to people. Everyone I know thinks I've been and gone through things that I never have. The things I am truthful about are usually said online to people that I'll never meet. Yet the thought of coming out and telling people in person the truth is terrifying. Honestly, I don't want people to know me. If they know me, they might use me.
At the same time I think this, I've been lying about some serious subjects lately and its eating at me. I don't know what to do. I don't want to tell people the truth and them know I've been lying to them the whole time. I don't want to hurt people, but at the same time I don't know what will happen to me if I keep holding on to these things inside of me.
Does anyone have any advice?

    You might be a compulsive liar. Go to therapy or something so you can at least be taught to open up to one person, and then eventually more. :)

    And as a side note, you don't exactly have to tell people everything about yourself. There's a grey space between lying and telling the truth. It's simply not telling.
