Serious Question?!

Serious Question?

I don't know what kind of liar I am.. but this is what I do. There is always a part of my mind that tells me that I need to lie about something when I'm talking to someone. It doesn't matter if the lie is big or small, but I have to do it, maybe simply because I can get away with it or because I want them to think that I'm better than I am. Either way, I don't want to do this, but I constantly have, and I do immediately feel horrible about it afterward even if the lie was little and would not negatively affect anyone. Why do I do this and how can I change? There are only three people that I have lied to about larger things, and they were all pretty much the same lie.. They would not really affect them in anyway, but I don't know if I want to tell the truth, because they may not believe all the other things I've said, and the other things I will say in the future. Will it be worth it to tell them the truth? Or should I let them go. I don't lie anymore. I make a conscious effort not to.

your lies are a result of poor self image, you have to make yourself seem more than you are to yourself by doing what is called agrandization.
I would not suggest that you tell your friends about past lies, but if they find out you lied, you do have to fess up and apologize.
It is good that you are consciously trying to avoid lying, but I suggest you find out why your self image is so poor that you are driven to do so.
