I had a girl that lied about virtually everything, despite her trying to wash me with the "I LOVE YOU" thing, after I called the relationship off, I began to imagine why she was lying to me in the 1st place. I know someone once said that lying is a natural phenomenon with ladies (no disrespect to the female folks) and same with some guys too.
I just want to know your own reasons for lying, so it can help me in my analysis

People lie because they feel inadequate.

Inadequate? I'm not sure if I understood that

Ask your dictionary

True. Inadequacy in some certain aspects like family background and stuff like that, can make people lie. And one lie usually calls for more to cover up the former and before they know it, they're neck-deep in the heap.

@OP
the greatest fear most people have is that of being themselves, because they prefer to be some imaginary being......so they will say complete BS to attain/provide some fake satisfaction. these people dont believe in themselves, arent positive about themselves and their vibe is weak. they do/act/speak/behave like everyone else does, even if it doesnt fit who they really are. . . . . . . but the reality is that you get nowhere that way. your game/energy is weak as you are one step away from being busted. living like that is not only wrong but also a waste of life as you are running away from the ONE THING THAT YOU OWN THAT MAKES YOU DIFFERENT.........YOUR TRUE SELF.
