I want to lie all the time about really bad stuff happening to me, so that other people will like/pity/be interested in me. Is this normal? What do i do?
You are looking for attention and sympathy. These are things that cannot be found easily. You consider yourself un- interesting, so you almost lie to yourself, by thinking these lies will get you somewhere. The first step, which you have already accomplished, is realizing that you do this and that it needs to stop. The best thing that you can do is the exact opposite. It will be hard, but you need to form a trusting based relationship by gaining friendships this can be done by simply sharing common interests, and a similar sense of humor. Honesty is key. If you don't get along with that particular person, do not lie, simply find someone who you understand. Good luck, you can do it.
No, that's a pathetic way to get attention.
People see through that bullshit eventually, anyway.
Attention whore? I knew a girl like you. I haven't talked to her in years or even thought of her till i read this.
If you want attention got to where the people are take a rec center class. Don't get bad attention. Just think about all the people that love liars (no one loves a liar)
it can be normal, in a way. Though most people gain attention by being dramatic or something. Lying isn't the way to go though. No matter how easy it can seem, lots of lies will build up and over all get you into lots of trouble. you be yourself, every time you know you're about to lie, stop yourself for saying it, and stop yourself from wanting to believe it.hope it helps
Lying to make urself seem kool or interesting can lead to bad things very bad things. Not normal
