How can I stop being a compulsive liar?

Start slow, you might want to start a journal about your daily life, then reread what you said in there, if you think you lied to yourself then you cross it and add the truth. You need first of all to recognize what are your true thoughts and actions, often you'll find yourself lost in this type of situation, you might sense a loss of personality or you'll look at yourself and not recognize what you are. Every word and thought comes from within, on a surface level you lie to others but at the core you lie to yourself as a defense because you are scared. You might also want to discuss this with a person that you trust, everybody need support, so don't fight it alone, and they might monitor you.

The first step, to stop being a compulsive liar is admitting, and acknowledging that you know you lie. The second step, is knowing that you have hurt people in the past, and that it will be hard to earn people's trust back. Also knowing that because of these behaviors, relationships have been broken, and that it will not be easy to rebuild them. Taking it one step at a time, is a good start. Also making amends with past relationships and knowing that all you can say is sorry, and show them that you have changed. Show that by your actions. Actions speak louder than words

The person that I were talking to, I would pretend that I was talking to my crush, caus I would never lie to her that is a weird but working way. It's really weird i know, but i myself used to be the biggest pathological liar, but using this method helped me alot and it may also help others... another way is to just force your self to not do it and think before you speak.... thst sounds even weirder but it helps, like before you say it, just think to your self "why am i gonna say this.... what is the reason" and just force your self to say the truth. I hope this helps you good people and bye.

In the past, when I felt compelled to lie, it made me feel better. I wanted so much to be liked, and I really believed that if I padded my experiences with falsehoods, it would make me more interesting. What I came to realize was that my lies actually made it harder for people to relate to me, and instead of making friends, I felt more alone. So, I started putting a reminder in my phone that would pop up each morning with the words, "IS IT TRUE?" This helped me connect to myself, and to reality. Soon, I was asking myself "is it true?" just before I opened my mouth to speak. That tiny pause started a kind of mental hiccup that helped me disconnect from the compulsion.

Well stop lying. The first you realize what you doing is wrong you should get the hint. Tell yourself what does it bring me when I lie. Answer this is it good or positive.? Does it make me a better person when I lie.? By lying just brings mistrust so try telling the truth. Any little truth and happy good action is a great way to stop this. Continue to tell the truth and a lot of good things will come your way, you see. By telling the truth brings way more positive effects though it might be really hard and sad and maybe sickening it will be better even if you think it make it worst.

It sounds like you have recognized that lying is an issue that you currently deal with. This is very important, because the first step to change is that we recognize and acknowledge that the issue at hand is a problem. Once you have recognized that lying it is an issue, you can start identifying the reasons for why you feel the need to lie. What is my purpose for lying? If I am benefiting from lying, what am I gaining? These questions can help pinpoint the underlying reasons for your behavior. Afterwards, you can make a plan as to how you can change your behavior. For example, you call out your lie when you catch yourself saying one or you set a goal of maximum two lies per week and gradually decrease it until you are not telling any lies.

You have already reached the first step! The first step is wanting to change, finding ways to change, and questioning yourself is good. The second step is understanding yourself. Why did you get into the habit of lying? What common factors cause you to lie? What emotions lay behind your desire to lie? The third step is certainly difficult, but its to challenge yourself. In the circumstances, you can't help but speak the false, try speaking the truth. If you fail, it's alright. Try again. and again. and again. It's alright. The most important thing is facing yourself. Which you have already taken by asking this question. Now, you should practice. Slowly, step by step. If you try, surely, you'll reach your goal!

When posed with a question, or an opportunity to share, take a minute to breath. As you do that, make a mental list of what it is you want to say. Take another breath and ensure your list is the truth. Make this as habitual as you can, and your brain will start to do it on its own. Never stop checking yourself though, you are the one accountable for what you say and the consequences that follow. If it helps, think of the consequences of lying and use that as motivation to ensure you tell the truth as often as possible.

For three years my best friend was a compulsive liar, she would constantly lie about a number of very ordinary things as well as lying about more serious topics, at first I was unsure of what to do so I went along with it and pretended not to know about the lies, a number of her other friends did the same however it was these actions that made her lying worse so if you are a compulsive liar please seek help from those close to you as they likely already know about the lies and if they are still with you then they are going to stay with you because the recovery can only get easier, just like if your friend is a compulsive liar don’t just play along instead help them and if you can’t handle the stress of doing that (being around compulsive liars can be very stressful so do not be ashamed of you feel unable or unwilling to help them yourself) if this is the case then refer them to someone else

Sometimes self reflection can help us assess why we do the things we do and what we would like to do instead. If you are finding that you compulsively do not tell the truth, you might consider taking a two-pronged approach. Firstly, in the moment, instead of talking or answering a person right away, stop. Don't say anything. Take a breath, then respond. This will create a space between you and the moment in which you might normally rattle of some half-truth or untruth. It will create time for you to decide what you want to do in the future. As for the second prong, in your time alone, focus on what makes--or in the past made--lying valuable, viable, or a worthy alternative to you telling the truth. Determine what makes you not want to do that anymore and focus on the person you want to become. As you self-reflect, your motives and mindset will become clearer to you, such that, every time you pause before answering a question, you will be able to more effectively remind yourself of the person you want to be and the truthful response you want to have. Over time, it will become easier to assert the truth after each of those pauses, so that one day, it may just be habit, just like lying once was.
