LIES! ( Who Am I Anymore?)?

Question

I have a huge problem with lying it's like I do it w/o even thinking... i've become so accustom to telling them that sometimes I forget what the TRUTH really is! I feel like i'm losing my TRUE self to what I want others to believe I am. What can I do to save the REAL me. (not to mention my soul)

Answer 1

Well, the mere fact that you've admitted that you have a problem with lying is a start at saving the REAL you. I guess the question I have is why is it that you feel you have to lie? Do you lie to make yourself look better; to cast yourself in a better light? I think that is crux of the situation. Its obvious that you don't want to be like this. At the same time, you have a CHOICE of whether to continue or not. You have to decide what it is you truly want to be. Do you want to continue to lie and feel like crap because you do? It doesn't have to be that way and YOU have the power inside of you to make yourself better.

Lying takes too much energy to try to remember lies; to keep them straight in your head and by continuing to lie you are continuing to 'disown' your true self. Don't hide your true self from others. You have nothing to be ashamed of if you are being who you truly are.

Answer 2

We all lie, but some people go over the top, and believe their own lies. You being one of those people. I do not blame you, I lie alot too. Mostly to get attention.
I think if you really feel that you need to stop this lying, that you will be able too. Just gradually start telling the truth. Keep a journal, and write what you do everyday TRUTHFULLY. Without even lying once. Writing can really help. Eventually you will get the hang of speaking the truth. If you believe in yourself enough, I know you can do it.
Just take it slow, it'll come.

Answer 3

That is very sad being the last leg of religion in this age is truthfulness. If we loose that we have nothing really. Just start getting real. The first lie we have to overcome is that we are this body. We are not this body IE, race, color, nationality, religion, mind, intelletc, senses, ect. We are eternal spirit souls, Part and parcel of the Supreme Soul also known as Krishna,Jehovah, Allah, Vishnu, etc. We have to reconnect with our maker if we want to line in truth. The truth is this world is called Maya (illusion) and is temporary and full of misery. Only one fourth of all the souls come here, (the less intelligent ones, That's us) We really have to get real and connect deeply with God within our own hearts. I suggest reading the Bhagavad Gita As it is By Bhaktivedanta Prabhupada- tells how to overcome all untruths and the purpose of human life.

Answer 4

Lying like telling the truth is a habit. If you make the effort to develop a new habit of being truthful, you can change for the better.

Answer 5

Before you are about to speak think and if a ly wants to come out hold it in and try to let the truth out.

Answer 6

Sweet heart. You really NEED to stay true to yourself.

Are you trying to fit in with others who can not relate to the real you? Or is the real you trying to fit in to some one else's mold of what you should be?

Forsake what is not true and reach deep into your self to see yourself and be the real you.

Answer 7

The Boy who Cried Wolf. Gees. Well, you can try to be honest, but I guess a lot of people dont trust you anymore.

Answer 8

You should consider counceling. Some people have the same problem, but more than likely , there's an underlying reason. Good luck.

Answer 9

Since you can see this in yourself just do not lie anymore. Then you will be able to see the real you.

Answer 10

Is there any way you can spend some time with yourself? Can you read books and enjoy them? Can you disconnect for awhile and embrace silence? ( I wish you were here.)
