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

Maybe you don't feel good enough to get attention just on the merit of being yourself?. I'd ask why you feel that you want attention first and go from there. You probably have some work to do on accepting yourself, and if you can't then start on the path to becoming a person you would like to be.
