I am a 17 year old compulsive liar. I've been confronted numerous times about my lying and have lost the respect of my family. I havent told any of my friends because I am too embarrassed. I already have diagnosed obsessive compulsive disorder and I am on medication for ocd and i thought it might help with the lying too, but I havent been able to stop lying still. Should I come clean to everyone I know including my psychiatrist? I am so scared.
Please, if you don't mind, try to explain to me why you keep lying if it causes you so much stress and fear of being found out? Shouldn't that be enough to keep you from doing it again?
Once you came clean with your family, wasn't it a great relief, a weight taken off your heart and mind? Shouldn't you want to avoid feeling like that ever again? I just don't understand what drives someone to continue lying when it creates agony for the liar and unbelievable hurt and confusion for the ones being lied to.
