Everybody on the planet lies. At least little white lies or the worst, withholding information.Probably around 50% of the people you lie to know that you're lying.
I've been around compulsive liars and I never could figure out what they were doing it for. Everyone knew these people told lies like breathing air.
We are in recovery for depression whether we know it or not. Recovery means being honest with yourself and others. I just got out of a relationship where I was lied to more than once. It hurts people and it hurts your self-perception. That will make your depression worse. Also, remembering what you told whom, means your memory better be sharp.
If you can't stop on your own, get help.
Aim to live a life of integrity and honesty.
There's something much deeper going on with you than just telling whoppers. Get help. Or, of course, go into politics.
