DO you know you are lying/exaggerating when you tell the stories? Or do you believe the stories when you tell them and realize later they are false/mostly false?
no no, i obv know im lying. it just happens impulsively. i see the person disinterested and i spin my lies. when i notice it i stop myself. i just want the impulsive habit to go away too.
Thats a good sign actually. if this is the case then I'm guessing that you are simply a lying addict and not a pathological liar (They sometimes don't realize they are lying until later). Something you could try is to backtrack as soon as you catch yourself. depending on what you just said, sometimes it easy to simply say something like: "haha well obviously i'm exaggerating, but you get the idea right?" or "Okay i'm obviously kidding, but it would have been great/shitty if it actually happened like that."
I would say its better to tackle this now because its gunna be hard to do damage control if people start noticing.
I wish you luck.
IIN to make up stories to keep people interested in you?
