Do you often realize it’s happening, and regret? Or do you keep digging with more lies? What’s that feedback cycle like? Do you ever catch yourself and immediately roll back your lie?
Like,
You: “Oh yeah I totally did all the dishes [LIE]”
Them: “Oh great. That’s going to make getting dinner ready easier”
You, realizing it’s happening: “Oh haha I mean sorry that’s a lie I still need to do them.”
Yeah, being a compulsive liar isn’t a good look and it does isolate you so I have made an effort to stop this problematic trait. I have to make a conscious effort not to lie and if I do I make sure it’s something small that most people won’t notice. Ironically, I will lie sometimes to if I lie about something.

Ironically, I will lie sometimes if I lie about something. I would tell that I missed remembered or got something wrong.
