Answers:
there is a disorder, i dont know the name of the actual disorder but people who have it are called 'pathological liars'!. it means that as much as you help it you just lie all the time and cant control what you lie about, until it gets taken to the extreme and you start lying about really serious things!. it sounds like you probably do have this disorder so i would advise you to read up on it in books or on the internet and then go and see a doctor or talk to someone about how you feel and why you lie like you do!. it usually does come down to wanting attention like you said you feel you have to do, but this is normally down to an underlying cause such as being neglected of attention when younger or feelings of worthlessness!.!.!.if its ruining your life i think you really need to speak to a psychiatrist or a doctor or something because otherwise you are going to get yourself into an even nastier downward spiral and although pathological liars arent common, its not a weird or unusual thing to have so dont feel that you are strange for having this! hopefully now you can put a name to how you feel you will feel a little relieved!. i hope this helpedWww@Answer-Health@Com

I always thought it was just called 'compulsive lying'!. My aunt does that, she lies about everything and everybody!. You should talk to a shrink, not because you have some crazy disorder, but because compulsive lying is a problem, and you lose everyone's trust that way!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
