Bro, I don’t even know what’s wrong with me. Why do I keep lying about the most random things? Like, it’s so pointless. Literally no one cares, and it wouldn’t change a single thing if I told the truth. But for some reason, I just say stuff that doesn’t even make sense.
The weirdest part is that I realize I’m doing it halfway through the lie. I’ll be talking, and I’ll just throw something out there that I know isn’t true, and then immediately think, “Wait, why the hell did I say that?” Like, what was the point? It’s not even a big deal, and the lie literally has no impact on anything. It’s so stupid.
I swear I’ll be in the middle of a conversation, and I’ll just blurt something random like, “Yeah, I’ve been to Paris” or “I’m super into hiking,” and then my brain immediately kicks in like, “Bro, you’ve never been to Paris, and you can’t even walk up a hill without getting winded!” But at that point, it’s too late. The words are out, and I’m just left there like, “What the hell did I just do?”
And the worst part is that I’ll do it again. Like, I’m literally lying about the dumbest stuff, and I don’t even know why. I’m not trying to impress anyone. I don’t even care if anyone believes me. It’s just this weird habit, and it’s kind of embarrassing when I think about it.
It’s like, I’ll be talking to someone, and I’ll add a random detail to a story that never even happened. Maybe I’ll exaggerate something, or make up a whole part of the story. But then, halfway through, I’m like, “Why? What was the point of that?” It’s not like anyone’s going to remember this little thing, so why am I even saying it?
I need to stop this. It’s not like I’m lying about anything serious, but it’s definitely getting annoying. I don’t want to be that person who just says random stuff for no reason. I guess I just need to catch myself and realize that I don’t have to impress anyone. Just say what’s real. It’s not worth it to keep making up random details about my life, especially when I know it’s going to leave me questioning myself afterward.
So yeah, I don’t know what’s up with me, but I definitely need to chill out with the pointless lies. I’ll work on it, but damn, it’s hard when it feels so automatic.
