compulsive lying/attention seeking
This is anon cos i'm really ashamed of myself, but i think i have a problem with lying. I have lovely friends and i'm a really happy bubbly person, but i sometimes tell lies about things like my grades, guys i've slept with, things i've done, and i even convince myself that these things are true, and i like the attention i get for telling people things. I would rather lie about things than talk about what i really think or feel. I can't stand people knowing things about my life, i prefer it when people are talking about their own problems rather than talking about myself, so i'm not sure why i'm even writing this. I'm not sure what i want or even if this is just me being stupid and i'll shut up now.
Trust me lying will lose your friends, be honest.
You don't lie to friends, you lie to people you consider stupid enough to believe you. I'm a little (a lot) biased on the matter, having had a psychopathic liar friend myself, but I wouldn't put up with it if I was them. If you don't want to talk about your problems then just don't talk. When you stand there and spout a load of made up ****, you're giving them all a first-hand demonstration of your problem.
Actually, in modeling I have found that I've unfortunately received more work as a result of my agency lying about me! It's really quite sad and one of the reasons why I don't model much anymore. Well all my true friends know who I am and except me, that's all that matters. It's better to be accepted or even hated for who you are than admired for what you aren't IMO.
You may have pseudologia fantastica.
