I am a perpetual liar. I lie online, I lie in real life. Not to my parents, but to my friends. My online friends think I have a whole crew of friends that I hang out with constantly. My offline ones think almost the same, except that all my friends live in a different providence. I'm iffy about telling people, because I don't want to have people too mad at me. Should I tell the truth to one group? To both? Neither?

I know what you mean
Hey girl, I know what you mean! I don't have a TON of friends, just a couple I hang around with, and a ton in other states that I've grown to know by being penpals (although I have never met them). Tell your friends the truth, little by little if you have to...like saying, "Oh, well, I don't have quite as many friends as I seem to have..." Or, "Well, you know I exagerate a lot about the number of friends I have" So forth. Good luck!!! --Posted by angelgirlemr 10:57PM EST 06/30/04
COME CLEAN BABE
I know you're at a great risk of loosing your friends but you need to tell the truth. It's not so bad though, you'll feel better to get it all off your shoulders. True they might be mad for awhile but when they see that you came clean and are trying to make things right they won't be so hard on ya. Plus if you're on a break from your friends then you'll have time to think things through. I went through about the same deal a while back and me. Now we are tighter than ever.

you should tell everyone the truth
If you really care about all of your friends you should tell them the truth. It's not fair to them that they think you are someone different than you really are. My advice is to just come clean to them and explain why you lied in the first place and just hope that they understand. if they don't, then they weren't your friends in the first place. --Posted by blondeditz819 04:45PM EST 06/30/04
Who are your real friends
What you really need to do is tell all your friends the truth. It may hurt a little bit and you may feel a little bad at first. But eventually you will feel good that you told the truth. The most common reason for people not telling the truth is fear of rejection afterwards, or that your friends may not want to be your fiends anymore after they have figured out that you have lied. Just know that your true friends will stick around and that that you can start true and new friendships after the truth is out. --Posted by gorda 12:19AM EST 06/30/04
been there, understand that...
I totally understand what your going through, seeing as I did the same things a few years ago. I was a compulsive liar and would lie for no reason at all about what I did, who I liked, even about what my childhood was like(even though I was still pretty much a kid)! I finally made myself stop (easier said than done) and I now realize that I did it because I didn't think I was interesting enough if I didn't lie. Trust me, you'll feel much better when you discover what you want to be for real and not a lie. --Posted by rockersmurf 08:45PM EST 06/29/04
