How Do I Stop Lying. by Gbadugbakun(m): 9:05am On Jan 12 |
I Know this might sound funny, but it's the truth. I lie too much, most especially when I'm talking with people. Most times there wouldn't even be any need to lie, but I would just find myself lying up and down. It's beginning to bother me and I want to stop it. Please how do I go about it? Mods, please help me out. 26 Likes 4 Shares

The first thing to think about is what's the passion of the mind that triggers off the lying? Many times it's VANITY!!!! So the next step or question is how can I control VANITY? The answer is HUMILITY!!!! 86 Likes 5 Shares |

Gbadugbakun: Fear is the origin of lying 🤥 You dont want people to see you in the negative light You dont want people to see you as a nobody. Well i can not judge you, all i can tell you is.... You're wasting your gift. Lying is a gift. You dont know how to use it. The world is ruled by liars... Heavy dirty liars. From politicians to pastors to parents. Everyone lies. The only difference is, you're unwise for lying broke. Why not use a well crafted lie to get a fat salary job Why not use it to bed a lady from a rich home or a sugar mommy Why not use it to borrow 10k from 100 people that you know and become a millionaire and start uber business or any other one. Why not use the lying gift to be a smooth talking comedian. Lie Sells Lie is a spell you cast on people for your benefit. Many politicians, top executive actually bought their certificates for less than 600k Beggars on the road are liars and act blind or cripple or worse to appeal to your emotions. You're just wasting a precious gift. Receive sense today 54 Likes 3 Shares |

Simply by being responsible! Understand that - lying will only postponed the consequence of your actions, it will not totally exonerate you. Instead of postponing the day of reckoning, be bold enough to face it immediately! 1 Like |

It has become a habit. It is one of the easiest habits to master. It will require a conscious effort. Don't try to impress anyone, just be yourself. It will reduce gradually and eventually stop. 5 Likes |

1. Stop talking too much. People who talk too much lie a lot 2. Be comfortable with yourself. People with inferiority complex and who feel a complusive need to look good before others tend to embellish their words. 3. Don't be afraid of consequences or responsibility. Things do not always look as complex as they seem but lying does complicate matters. 4. Read the Bible. Best moral code there is! You will see a lot of verses against lying and bearing false witness. This will help you in forming a moral backbone since lying is a moral, psychological and yet legal issue. 10 Likes 4 Shares |

Recognizing that lying is immature and wanting to stop is a positive step towards personal growth and integrity. Here are some suggestions to help you overcome the habit of lying: 1. Understand the reasons behind your lying: Reflect on why you feel the need to lie. Is it to avoid confrontation, gain approval, protect yourself, or maintain control? Understanding the underlying motivations can help you address the root causes of your behavior. 2. Practice self-awareness: Pay attention to your thoughts, emotions, and actions when you are tempted to lie. Notice the triggers that lead to dishonesty and explore healthier alternatives to address those situations. 3. Cultivate honesty as a core value: Make a conscious decision to prioritize honesty in your life. Remind yourself of the importance of honesty, trust, and integrity in building meaningful relationships and personal growth. 4. Take responsibility for your actions: Recognize that lying is a choice and take ownership of the consequences. Accepting responsibility for your behavior can help you develop a sense of accountability and motivate you to change. 5. Develop effective communication skills: Sometimes, people resort to lying when they feel unable to express themselves honestly or assertively. Enhancing your communication skills, such as active listening and expressing your thoughts and feelings respectfully, can reduce the need for dishonesty. 6. Seek support and feedback: Share your intention to stop lying with a trusted friend, family member, or therapist. They can provide guidance, support, and hold you accountable as you work towards becoming more honest. 7. Practice honesty in small steps: Start by being truthful in everyday situations, even if it feels uncomfortable. Gradually, challenge yourself to be more open and authentic in your interactions with others. 8. Learn from your mistakes: If you do catch yourself lying, take it as an opportunity to learn and grow. Reflect on the reasons behind the lie, the impact it had, and what you could have done differently. Use these experiences as lessons to reinforce your commitment to honesty. 9. Remember, changing any habit takes time and effort. Be patient with yourself as you work towards becoming a more honest person. Celebrate your progress, no matter how small, and keep reminding yourself of the benefits and importance of living an honest and authentic life. Some people grew up with step-mom/dad. To survive life you have to become a native to lying. Telling the truth might cost you life & a lot of beatings. Integrity became a foreign country. 1 Like |
