Making progress

Yesterday was a very good day, I was very busy and barley had time to interact with people, I feel like that maybe the answer to this addiction. If I don't talk to anyone, I cant lie? I feel accomplished but no-one can go thou life talking to no-body and this might be a short term answer.However I am limiting my social life and teaching myself to stay quiet in gatherings.Hopefully this might be the first step to understanding why I have to lie so much, It did occur to me that its not only an attention thing, Sometimes Its empathy, For example a friend of mine lost a pet that was very dear to him. I have never had a pet besides a goldfish that died within me the first three days of me buying it. Yet he was explaining it to a co-worker of mine I couldn't help but feel how tragic it was. In my head I had also lost a pet, Which at that time I was about to tell him about an imaginary dog I had since childhood. This was of course untrue , I stopped myself before I could say anything and excused myself from the situation. It made me wonder that lie-ing is always wrong, But If I did tell him about my imaginary dog he might have felt that he wasn't going thou this lose alone? This addiction is a very confusing one which is very difficult to understand. If I can keep this up I shall let you all know what happened and how it goes. Its a little social experiment. xxoo <3
