Compulsive Liar
Posted: 10-28-05 11:12am

Hi. I am new to this forum. And I would like to ask anybody out there what could help me. I am a compulsive liar. I tell lies to familiar faces and to strangers. They are sometimes small ones. Like whether or not I have done one thing or another. Sometimes I make up all kind of stories. Like telling a colleague that I am pregnant, while I just have a belly problem.

Now I have been in a relationship for over seven years. This is not normal. Considering my non stop lies I tell my partner. I have destroied him. I know. But I keep lying.

When I lie I do not feel bad. Only when a lie is found out I feel shame, anger. But it lasts for as long as the topic is raised.

I do not seem to have any morality. I think I have. Although when thinking about it (which does not happen much) I have a mountain of evidence that I have not got a moral bone in my body.

I had a long fight with my partner yesterday. So I am feeling bad about my condition. Is this curable? Or should I leave the poor thing?
And if I do so, how can I prevent myself from bonding and hurting other people?

The way I am feeling now about who I am...I would just like to be dead.
What is the use of being the way I am? I only hurt people. I am bad!!!!

The worst of all (although very selfishly said) I hurt myself too.
