Is it normal that i lie for no reason?

I try so hard to tell the truth when it counts, but sometimes the lies just spill from my mouth for NO reason. I hear them coming out of me and in my head I'm like.. Jesus.. why did I say that? Like in crucial situations to cover my ass, I'll work up an elaborate lie, like I'm sure a lot of people do, but sometimes little details I exaggerate and twist and completely change. Afterwards I'm completely baffled with myself. But that doesn't stop me from doing it again.

    Compulsive lying is not uncommon. Smart people will see through the lies eventually though, and then they won't believe a word you say.

    I do the same thing!
    I try to stay away from lying but somethings (and mainly only little things) I lie about. Or I twist around small details. But I can't stop it!

    Sadly, pathological liars are common enough to have a name for their ilk, and I once used to know one, myself. She did eventually say sorry for something in a way that sounded half-hearted and insincere, so I kept my distance from that point on. (I couldn't handle it.)

    If this person I knew is any indication, try telling yourself "there's not going to be any harmful effects for telling the truth."

    Lying is an awful thing to do, it lays the foundation for mistrust and disappointment. You would be surprised how many people know when someone is lying, but just let it slide rather than deal with the aggravation.

    Start training yourself to tell the truth, or if you don't want to answer, just say that!

    Yeah. I sometimes lie unnecessarily too. Just stay on yourself about it. Tell as much truth as you can stand to every time and it will get better. Don't just accept the lies as something that you do though. I think it's normal, but not really ok.

      thank you, this made sense to me. I know it's not right, but sometimes I actually feel like I cant help it. I'm getting better at stopping myself but it's kind of a task lol
