Hi MackenzieC. You will find a lot of support from this group...if you're honest about it! Welcome!

Thank you. I lied once today to my professor, and emailed him back ten minutes later apologizing. My issue is overcoming guilt and regret. Suggestions?

What's the root cause of your lies?

Insecurity. Attention. The need to fill a void with stories.

My name is Kevin and I am a liar.

Hi Mackenzie, welcome to the group.

hi my name is Christine Kennedy and I'm a liar. I've ruined a 2 yr relationship with the love of my life.she caught me. the lies sounded so much better than the truth. I don't want to be that guy anymore. when I started telling the truth in the car....I heard what I was saying, I heard but I was admitting to. I was such a horrible person. I am so stressed out over all these lies, that I barely sleep because of guilt. I don't know how to stop myself sometimes. I just know that I don't want to do it anymore. I don't like what I see when I look in the mirror.

I hate autocorrect or just fat fingers. my name is Christian not christine. its Christian Kennedy

If the root cause of lying and insecurity, I have a ton of insecurity out of fear and being ashamed of my past. I've done things I was shamed of, but the lies sounds so much better than the truth.it took her cornering me to get me to tell the truth finally, and when I heard myself tell the truth, I heard what was coming out of my mouth and realized after being caught I was a horrible person

Your not a horrible person. None of us are. We made some horrible choices. At times, the lies might sound better than the truth, but telling the truth upfron will always sound better than explaining lies.
