Default I'm a compulsive lier with low self esteem. How do I help myself?

I am a compulsive lier. I lie about tiny things and also massive things. Basically it's ruining my life and I desperately need to be freed from this terrible condition. It's worse then any physical condition trust me. I'm not sure exactly where it stemmed from.I had no friends at school so had to lie to my parents about who my friends were,what I'd done at school,if I enjoyed school and I felt I needed to lie at school to inorder to make mysekf look normal and not a sado. The real lies started at about 10 but I never told any serious lies until about 16 when I started meeting new people. I started uni but at the time I didn't realise I had a lying problem so didn't use it as the clean break I could have. Basically though I had a new start but because of my very low self esteem I lied inorder to seem more interesting/cool. It's been a year now and I ABSOLUTELY LOVE university. I have a boyfriend who loves me and friends who are always there for me but I have lied to all of them and the guilt I feel is terrible. I can't look them straight in their eyes. Ironically I am at University the cool/fashionable/popular/girl everyone wants to be. But it's not made me happy. Physically I am happy with the way I look. I am pretty but I hate the person I am inside and think I'm weird and horrible and nasty and selfish. I know it is this behaviour that is making me lie so I need to combat that before I can stop the lying. How do I even start changing deep rooted low self esteem when it isn't to do with what I physically look like? I can't buy those hypnosis CD'S because they are too expensive. Plz help!

You have admitted that you are a compulsive liar, so how do we know you are telling the truth about having low self esteem?

Stop telling lies now, and start pretending that you dont care what others think about you, eventually you will stop pretending and it will be true... be yourself always and trust me people will think your even cooler than you already are. I use to be a compulsive lier, its a hard habbit to break, but well worth it when you break it, chances are people already know your a lier, you dont have to come clean to all your lies just stop telling them. Good luck hun!

Well the first way to get help is admit you have a problem. So you have done that. You know you have a problem and now you need to fix it. Well I would say go to church. And find out who God is. Then ask god to make you the person that he wants you to be. And ask for forgiveness of your sins. And everytime you even think about lieing to someone. Think of his love for you and if he would do that. I hope that helps you. Good luck

Look into chakrasThere are ebooks that you can download for free on the interneton the subjectcheck out scribd.com or search for ebook share sitesIt sounds like you need to work on self acceptanceThe reason you feel bad is because you are not connected to your true self your spiritual being your sourcebecause you run from the truthyou have to learn to love yourself warts and allOpen your heart to yourself and othershave total compassion for yourself and for othersOne way to do it is a mantra or affirmation whatever you want to call itwhen you think your about to lieremember to remembernot totake a deep breath and say to yourself"I accept myself fully as I am, and I am truly loved"Just because youve done something a certain way for a long time doesnt mean that you havent got the power to change itand if you dont believe that then your just making exscusesto continue doing what isnt working for youSo when will now be a good time to change ?didnt mean this to sound so new agey : )
