I asked a question about this already and got some insightful answers about why I am so prone to lying—I think, as someone pointed out, I am afraid to take responsibility for my mistakes.
However, some of my lies don’t ever help me avoid responsibility in the least, so minor they are. And even if they did, I think I should stop anyhow.
What I’ve been doing so far was thinking, before I actually said something, is that true? Is that true? Recently I told the truth about how I broke my parents’ plate (I knocked it with my elbow into the sink—my lie would have been “fingers slipped on soap while washing dishes”).
But this is not easy. For hours, after a minor truth like that, my mind is racing if I could have lied somehow better.
Are there any better methods for keeping myself in check from lying?
