I don't know what do about this

Why do I lie to get sympathy and attention? I feel like a terrible person but I don’t know how to stop and I don't know why I would be doing this. What is wrong with me? I would meet someone and lie about things not actually happening, invent fictitious people and over exaggerate events.

People eventually figure stuff out and end up hating me eventually. I don't want to keep hurting people

I have a friend who does this. And I used to do it a bit when I was younger. It's not really a malicious thing (unless you make it), but I wonder if it's related to insecurity and/or low self esteem?

Maybe when you do it, try to recognize why 💙 I'm sure you can figure out the mystery 😊
