Is it normal that i have a habit of lying to people?

Not even important lies. Just constant little fibs. I'll be talking to people and just lie about what I wore or what time I woke up, on the internet I lie about my age and how I look or where I'm from. I just feel this constant need and want to lie, but later I really regret it. Is this normal? How do I stop?

    You need therapy. Liars have trouble having healthy relationships with people, especially romantic partners. My last boyfriend was a pathological liar. Not a good way to live.

    It seems your just not happy with your reality, or it's just so dull and boring you have the need to exaggerate and embellish the truth. My sister is great at that sort of thing too, so I'd consider it normal.

    I never lie to make people feel bad or to put something off and run the risk of getting into trouble later. But I might lie about what I had for breakfast, what movie I watched, etc.

    I do the same thing, to some extent. I think most people do, whether they admit it or not. They lie about what they look like, what they did, how they did it, everything just to fit in or seem better to the lied to.

    Sounds like you're a pathalogical liar.

    I don't consider what you lie about to be a bad thing. It's not like you're destroying lives.

    Lying is a part of life. But that doesn't make it okay. If you do lie you should catch yourself and tell the truth. Lying just turns into more of them.

    Wait, was that a lie?

    Read the boy who cried wolf.
    By the way the ending is quite sad, everyone died because of his lies.
