You already answered your question. You lie to make yourself look good and to feel better but you have to realize that the only person you're lying to is yourself. If there is something about your situation you're unhappy with, what's stopping you from actually changing it so that you don't have to lie about it anymore?

you are not a bad person, seems to me that you need a ego boost and you think that if you tell lies about yourself to make you look good it makes you feel better about yourself. But most times when you tell a lie you will need to tell another lie to cover up the first lie that you told, you need to tell the truth about yourself and let the chips fall were they may, people will like you for it.

No, you are not a bad person. It sounds like you are a teenager and under peer pressure. Just stop telling lies and most important, like who you are and don't make up silly stories. You are on your way to better yourself, by asking this question. Be good.

Lying. It is one of the many reasons why humans are consider imperfect. It does not make you a bad person, it makes you human. Everyone lies and will continue to, Just say the truth. Lying will always make things worse for you. Just say the truth, I promise you it will make life all so much easier.

It doesn't make you a bad person, you're just trying to impress people. Just don't do that. Just be yourself, people will like you by your self. Maybe the more 'popular' people won't think you're that great, but you'll find people. And, telling small fibs isn't that big either. But if you're telling big lies like... "I HAVE A BIG HOUSE AND BLAH-BLAH" then that could be a problem. Just try not to do it.

I lie because I don't like the consequences as much when I tell the truth. Its kind of an escape.
It might be a condition, but its definitely controllable.

Actually, the mere fact that you admit it and that you openly can state why you do it, makes you human, and I would think that you do not suffer from any condition, other than being human. Simply try to make a note of it and take it one statement at a time.

Well people lie because they are afraid that others will find out that they are not perfect, and show their weaknesses , That they will use them to hurt them. So they try to cover up what they did. The best why in life to live is by always being honest, so you will never have anything to fear.

Your not a bad person, you just need to feel the acceptance of others. Boasting about yourself isn't the way to do it. People like you for who you are, just be yourself and stop trying to impress. No one likes a person who does nothing but brags.

No hon you are not a bad person but you have a bad self image. You need more self confidence and to feel better about yourself. Those who have a good self image do not need to lie to make themselves feel better, they already do! good luck!
