Addicted to lying....am I a compulsive liar??!
Question: I am only 18
I get a rush from lying. I have seen a counselor for help, but instead I ended up lying to her. I got such a rush from it, I mean I was lying to the person who thought I was being completely honest with and she believed it.
I like doing things like that, sometimes I just lie out of nowhere when it's completely unnecessary. I don't lie to people who are not going to believe my lies, it's no fun. I come up with random stories and I have gone to the extreme stories that are just horrible lies
I have a boyfriend now and I care a lot about him but I have found myself lying to him about useless random things, just because I can't help it. Worse of all he thinks I am a bad liar and I even made it seem like if I can't lie at all...
I have never cheated before, because I am afraid that if I do I will get a bigger thrill because that would be the worse lie I would ever have to tell, and I would like it, just because I lied.
I really want help, where can I find help?

if you want change - you have to change.
See someone, and let the first words out of your lips be "I lie about everything - everything - and I want to stop, but I love doing it....really....I lie about EVERYTHING! Do you understand?!!!?!?
Start with that
Hey lizzie,
i will lie that you are alone as such and no one is like you
Yet the lie-less talk goes here--
see, we generally lie when we feel utterly uncomfortable with the situation we land in.
now there are two ways to tackle-
make yourself the audience and feel how it would devastate you if someone did the same to you, it is usually very shocking to realize a lie and come to terms with it.
second, do not land into tough situations that compell you to lie.
when you are ready to face the truth... you will love it.
i had a friend like that, everyone knows if you a constant lair. they would never tell you that though, they will probably laugh at you behind your back. so stop lying for the sake of embarrassment.once you break a habit long enough it will get that much better.and if you keep lying you will go to hell when you die and burn forever. peace out
God can help you, but you have to be willing to accept His help.
You may have issues with not liking yourself or not being able to accept reality the way it is. Start confessing your lies every time to every person you lie to. That is no fun, but it is a start to break free from this destructive habit. If you don't take steps to stop lying, it will destroy your relationships and have a destructive effect on many aspects of your life.
Start reading the Bible, which is God's truth. Feeding your mind on truth will help counteract the lies that fog even your own mind.

Here are a couple of Bible verses that are helpful:
"For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind."
2 Timothy 1:7 NKJV
"Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free."
John 8:32 NIV
Most people, myself included, hate liars. I once knew someone like you, he was never a friend and I just discounted everything that he said. Most normal people will avoid you and leave you if you continue this behavior. You have to ask yourself if losing people and developing a bad reputation would be worth the payoff that you seem to be getting from lying.
It use to be said, and I think that it still holds true for women as well as men that 'a man is just as good as his word'. You see where that places a liar.
I don't know if you have the ability to bond with others and love others, but if you do, then you just need to STOP this self-destructive behavior. Learn to love yourself enough that you care what other people think about you. Learn to love yourself enough that you care what kind of a person that you are.
If you want to stop, really want to.. you can. It is your choice. A good and happy life and self respect or a cheap and sick thrill. Good luck.
