Am I a pathological liar...?

Question

I think I am. In fact, I know I am. I'm a pathological liar. I have those internet problems, I can't stop lying to my teachers- like, when they ask: "Is there a problem with your arm?" A lot of times, my arm hurts, and I always say no. I lie to my parents- I sometimes lie to my friends online, because I'm... well, I don't know. I don't know what to do. Everytime I lie- I'm sinning. Lying in sinful, and I want to stop. What do I do?

Answer 1

I don't know you so I don't know that you are a pathological liar. And I wouldn't be convincing yourself of that quite yet. There is a difference between a pathological liar and a compulsive liar. Pathological liars are usually killers and what not, and that's why I say to not call yourself that quite yet. You can find the defintion of both a pathological liar and a compulsive liar on the internet at something like google and you can even read articles about both. After you've read some articles about those types of liars and you are still convinced that you are a pathological liar then you should tell your parents and tell them you need to see a therapist and he/she can help you determine why you lie so much. They'll help you find the underlying issues so you can stop lying..If you don't have supportive parents like that or you don't want to talk to them to your best friends mom, school counselor, trusted teacher. Just tell someone so you can get help. I'm proud of you for admitting you have a problem and that way it will be easier to fix. But get help as soon as you can. You don't want to lie the rest of your life.

Answer 2

If I were you I would just chill and stop stressing about it so much... It may be the case that you're so concerned about what other people think that you are scared to be honest. This might not be the case but its really common and the best way to deal with it is to be ok with the truth and ok about putting people out etc Also, try breaking the habit by telling a few hard truths ie confessing to something that you've broken etc

Don't beat yourself up about the whole sinful thing either. As humans we lie all the time e.g. "are you ok" "Yes I'm fine" or "Do i look fat in my new dress" "no you're a skinny as a rake" etc. It will take a lot to get rid of all lies and it should be a gradual progress.

Hope this helps...

Answer 3

first of all, stop being so critcal and hard on yourself. lying is not the worse offense ever committed. are you lying because you DELIBERATELY want to offend God. remember, God is forgiving and does not want you living in the state of misery that you are in.
here's a suggestion. go out and buy yourself a new ring. put it on and wear it night and day. when you're on the verge of telling a lie, touch the ring as a reminder that YOU CAN tell the truth.
or, even if you make yourself forego ONE lie per day, you're headed in the right direction.
if you find that you absolutely can't stop lying, perhaps you need to see someone professionally to try to come up with a reason for this behavior.
wishing you well!

Answer 4

Well you could have one of your parents take you to a therapist to talk to but if you feel that you are a pathological liar you should go see a psychiatrist to see if there is any medication that he can put you on to help you not to lie anymore.
