Small litlle lies for example oh i had a sandwich for lunch when i actually had soup
I don't really think it's normal, but for now it seems harmless. I don't think it makes you a bad person or anything. Have you experienced any pain or trauma in your life that makes lies more comfortable than the truth? I wish you the best.
I occasionally lie about trivial things, usually for social relevance. For example, if I ate a sadwich a couple days ago and my friends were all conversating about the sandwiches they ate today, I might theoretcally substitute todays soup for a sandwich so I can contribute to the coversation without having to explain that I had the same feeling about sandwiches, but on a different day. Or perhaps your friends are saying you are too skinny and you know that by admitting you only ate soup will cause unwanted attention... In that case, I could also unerstand lying.
However, if you don't know why you said sandwich instead of soup, I must say, you have a problem.
It's not normal and to me not acceptable. I have a friend who does this all the time and other than the lies, he's a cool guy. We've known each other since preschool and I bet we'd be super close friends if it wasnt for this habit. It's like every time you talk to him, you're talking to a new person. It's fucking terrible and annoying and not even worth it.
Cut it out before it costs you a lot of friends and trust.
It's not really a big problem unless it affects other people. Your eating habits are not very important, so I don't see why this would be bad.
It's a little weird/strange to me that you would do this, but many people have their own weird habits. I would try to be more truthful if I were you, because this could cause you to feel some sort of girl or even lead to more compulsive lying.
