for some context, I'm a teenager who is diagnosed with borderline personality disorder. i have been lying since I was elementary school age. my lies range from little white lies (an allergy to cilantro) to massive ones (faking a mental illness). i was never caught by anyone outside my parents with my lies, the reason people now know is that I went to therapy and worked through my shit and came clean. i try not to lie anymore, sometimes I slip up because it's second nature at this point after so many years of doing it, and am doing pretty good. i want people to understand that pathological liars are mentally ill, pathological lying and attention seeking is a form of mental illness. ask me anything
