Hello house. Is there any one that has this problem? It seems there is a part of my brain that is wired this way for years now.

While most people lie to escape punishment and blame etc, i tend to lie for no reason atall. Sometimes i need to lie further just to modify the initial lie.

Examples:
1. I went late to work because i had to take home some office files which i worked with all through the night. When asked, i lied to my boss that i had a compound dispute tha made me come late. Saying the truth would have earned me praises from my boss and saved me alot of stress.

2. I got injured at home. When my landlady asked how, i lied that i had a serious accident when going to work that morning.
I told her a long story about the accident scene and all. She was sympatizing with me and almost wept. embarassed

These are just few examples i can type now, there is more.

I can't help but lie most of the time i have conversation with people. Any advice?


You are suffering from a mental disorder called “Pseudologia Fantastica”.

Every night(not morning) before you sleep, while you are in bed take a mirror and look at your face and say this: All is well. I am honest, I have no reason to lie so I speak the truth usually. Say it four times and sleep.
The first three or four times you do this, your brain will tell you that you are lying and you are wrong. Your brain will try to fight the new programming (re-wiring). Continue to say it even if you do not believe it

Please do not say "I do not lie" . The word "not" will make your words ineffective. Just say All is well. I am honest, I have no reason to lie so I speak the truth usually.

Whenever you find yourself lying during the day, don't berate yourself, train your mind not to go over the situation in which you lied. Say the words above over and over until you feel calm and whenever you remember the event. All is well. I am honest, I have no reason to lie so I speak the truth usually.

It will take you between 60 - 254 days to reduce lying to the barest minimum if you stick to this routine.
Should you miss saying the above words one or two nights, its not a problem, but try not to miss it more than two nights.
You must first see yourself as truthful in your mind and you body has no choice than to utter only truth.

Keep us posted and best of luck

Nice one!

I see you are trying to help him reprogram his subconscious mind.

I believe it’s more than that.

He’s probably suffering from Pseudologia Fantastica. It’s a serious mental disorder.

I have an aunt suffering from this and it’s straining her relationship with everyone.

It’s as a result of a childhood trauma.

Wow, Interesting. I never heard of Pseudologia Fantastica before now.

I see that there are two things working for him right now. 1. He knows he has a challenge with lying 2. He doesn't like it - its not something he wants to continue.

Reprogramming will definitely help him. I know someone who had the exact same problem, who would lie until she started to feel the effect of all the lies like a ball in her throat stopping her from breathing.

She had to quit her job which was enabling her lie every single day, and start the brain reprogramming exercise. She is not there yet, but right now there is a 90% chance that she is telling the truth, if questioned.

John 8:44 (King James Version)

44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.

The way to beat a habit is to replace it with another habit. It might take time but as far as you're conscious of it, you will see yourself making progress.

Please remember this... all the while praying to the Lord GOD Almighty for His strength and grace to overcome and for you to speak the truth always!

"Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it" - John 8:44

"These six things doth the Lord hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him: A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief, A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren" - Proverbs 6:16-19

"But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death." - Revelation 21:8

Thats why i brought it here. I need help.
For a start i recently set a 5minutes reminder in my phone with a tag 'Don't Lie'. grin

Jesus helped me to stop lying about 12 years ago, op... I used to lie habitually, especially to impress. But now I get quite embarrassed sometimes the way people get to trust me.

In fact, I try to cut them sometimes so they don't implicate me all in the name of Trust...

I don't need to remember things due to lies...

So, if I can't tell the truth, then I'll keep quiet. I won't like to feed gossip, and I don't need to always reply people.

Note: I failed here and there, though. But I always seek to Repent and not repeat it...

God bless.

This may help... although it's about gossips. However, lies and gossips are friends or cousins:


''In Ancient Greece, Socrates had a great reputation of wisdom. One day, someone came to find the great philosopher and said to him:
- Do you know what I just heard about your friend?
- A moment, replied Socrates. Before you tell me, I would like to test you the three sieves.
- The three sieves?
- Yes, continued Socrates. Before telling anything about the others, it's good to take the time to filter what you mean. I call it the test of the three sieves. The first sieve is the TRUTH. Have you checked if what you're going to tell me is true?
- No, I just heard it.
- Very good! So, you don't know if it's true. We continue with the second sieve, that of KINDNESS. What you want to tell me about my friend, is it good?
- Oh, no! On the contrary.
- So, questioned Socrates, you want to tell me bad things about him and you're not even sure they're true? Maybe you can still pass the test of the third sieve, that of UTILITY. Is it useful that I know what you're going to tell me about this friend?
- No, really.
- So, concluded Socrates, what you were going to tell me is neither true, nor good, nor useful. Why, then, did you want to tell me this?
"Gossip is a bad thing. In the beginning it may seem enjoyable and fun, but in the end, it fills our hearts with bitterness and poisons us, too!"

- Pope Francis
