Please Help!
I always feel selfish because there are a lot more people that need help than I do. I am a compulsive liar. It started when I was small and just escalated into adulthood. I became a compulsive liar as a child from being sexual abused by my cousin and forced to lie about it. I felt so dirty just from what he did to me, but even worse now because it still affects me. I am supposed to get married this fall and I still suffer from this. I want it to stop. I need it to stop. I feel so worthless and alone. I try every day to not do it, but even when I tell the truth I feel useless and just like I am stuck in this giant hole unable to get out.
Have you tried seeing a counsellor or psychologist to resolve the issue? It appears to be deep-rooted and they are professionals trained to help and not judge you :) will be praying for you to overcome it💪
Don't feel selfish, as you do need help like everyone on this site. No matter how big or small an issue, it's important if it effects your well being and living a full and honest life. I feel so bad for what you have experienced and how it has formed this compulsion to lie. You need to talk to a professional and get this anger and pain out. I certainly understand your thoughts about lying, as it surely must have started with lying and covering up this horrible violation. Your mind often lies to you and convinces you to do things to protect you, when you're really hurting yourself in many ways. This violation doesn't have to define who you are, as it doesn't. It was a crime committed against you and you need to get that burden of unfounded shame off your shoulders. A therapist will help you break free and help bring out your true self...an honest and proud person who deserves to be heard and respected. My heart is with you and know you will become the person you truly want to be. Prayers you will find the assistance you need!
People come here to talk about what is affecting them, so it's not selfish at all. As for the lying, it sounds like you recognize the source of your pain and that's a great start. Finding a place like 7 Cups where you can really be yourself without judgment may make it easier to be true to yourself?
A long term, issue like being abused can be helped by seeking counseling too. It is a very difficult thing to deal with alone.

I don't wish to be attention seeking. I truly don't.
