According to the internet and my mom, I am a compulsive liar. It's true.
I lie about everything. It's not small stuff like, "Yes that magenta shirt looks good on you" but more like living separate lives for everyone I know. The way its seen is this: I have a different personality for every person I meet - I mesh to their personality. Perhaps I'm lying to myself. I don't really know who I am.
Hell, I've lied at the doctor's office before. Now that's sad.
I'm really good at it. On the spot I can come up with an intricate story about what happened, who said what, and then repeat it months later when confronted about it.
Compulsive lying cost me my career. Now I have the red stamp of "Liar" on every law enforcement application I apply to. The funny thing is - when I told the truth, I was denied.
Compulsive lying cost me my family. No one in my family can believe a word I say. "I'm going to AJ's house." They assume I'm not really going there, when in actuality I am.
Compulsive lying cost me some friends. I remember lying in 4th grade about winning a contest [irrelevant]... and in 6th grade to a friend saying I didn't tell [someone] she was secretly dating the cute 8th grader.
Compulsive lying cost me a relationship. My ex use to get into the nitty gritty of things, i.e. what I did that day, who I talked to. I use to be so smooth about it, but when I lost my cool and felt like he was instigating for hours, I was busted.
I want to tell the truth about everything, I do. I'm in so deep because I've lied for so long that everyone would ostracize me.
