The first step is to admit how you feel. Like practice with a friend saying things like, "I felt shocked when..." "I felt embarrassed when.."
When you lie, you do it to avoid an overwhelming and powerful feeling. I'm not sure what it is. You probalby aren't sure what it is either. But, admitting to other feelings is the first step.

I recommend reading the book 'The Four Agreements' By Don Miguel Ruiz. It is a very insightful book and helps you become true to yourself.
The first agreement is
BE IMPECCABLE WITH YOUR WORD
Speak with integrity. Say only what you mean. Avoid using the word to speak against yourself or to gossip about others. Use the power of your word in the direction of truth and love.
I really think this book will help you stop lying....oh and by the way you're not mental...it is just a bad habit...that can be stopped.

Okay why are you lying? Are you lying to make yourself look better or to cove up things? I was a big liar and it cost me alot, I lost friends and my boyfriend will never be able to trust me. The best thing to do is to think before you talk. Think about the consequenses and what the actions will be if you lie. Its true that everyone lies, and sometimes lies come back and bite you in the butt! Believe me lies can hurt people and RUIN relationships. Trust in yourself that you won't lie! I hope that helps! Good Luck:) BE HONEST!

Well i think the best way for you to stop lying is to just belive that your real answer will be good enough for everyone and even youself. and if you were to lie to get u out of trouble just think if they catch u lying you will be in evn more trouble then u would have for doing what u did wrong.

First of all try to be truthful to yourself. That is, research the reason why it's happening. Be very honest, truthful and open about it. Don't try to hide some facts because they might be ugly. Good luck!

You don't have a mental problem, although you do have a problem overcoming an addiction. You can try to overcome your addiction by little step and one by one to have normal discussions without lying.

Make your life more interesting...then you have nothing to lie about.
pathalogical lying is complex, but if it doesnt hurt anyone, what's the problem? My family are Irish, they make stuff up all the time.
