hello i'm so sorry to post again in such a short space of time but I really want to know if there is anyone else having something like this happen.
When I talk to someone I tend to lie. A lot. About stupid things things that don't even matter. I don't even consciously do this the lies just slip out of my mouth. If someone questions it I just cover it up. Even when my mum asks me if I did something my first response is to lie and then I correct it and tell her the truth. I don't know why this happens does this happen to other people?
Thanks for reading
Shannon

Thanks So much for responding.
I am 17 years of age and yes I've always lied when I was younger it makes me cringe when I see things I used to write. Such tiny lies but they made the statement worse. No I don't feel the need to big my self up I don't think...
Like I mentioned they just slip out completely unintentionally. I wish it didn't happen. I've been trying to force myself to go to the GP in the hope I will open up and just let everything helpful spill out but I haven't quite made it yet. My Gemini personality (sorry if you don't believe/agree with astrology) really shows when it comes to things like this if I was to go to the GP I would need to know what they were going to say so I could have a script, for a long time I didn't know why I felt like that then I realised recently its a power thing. I don't want to feel out of control of what might happen in there. On the other hand i'm incredibly fearful that I won't say anything and the GP will hate me. Nut right?
I didn't know it was a compulsion all though that does make sense given I have little control over it.
I'm sorry to ramble like that it feels nice to get it out a little.
Thanks again.
Shannon.

Thank you so much for this reply Pipsy!
Your words are what I've been trying to get out, I haven't been able to come up with the right way to say it. You've said what I can't quite articulate thank you. This helps me figure out what I need to say.
Thank you again
Shannon

I'm only saying this an example, because if you want to trust someone and expect that you can trust them but are led on by their lies until you finally find out that they had deceived you, then opportunities, friendship and trust have all gone and you are left by yourself. Geoff.
