im a liar ..

I think you're really brave for admitting that. Hope you start to feel better soon (*hug*)

 

It's okay hun, you don't need to lie to us (*hug*)

 

I'm sorry, I don't hold it against you

I know how hard it is to be honest with people, but you can always be honest here (*hug*)

 

I agree. I've found it to actually be much easier to be totally honest here. Maybe it's the supportive atmosphere, the anonymity provided by the security of the Internet, or just the overall awesomeness of the people I've met here, but it's definitely something.

 

To tag onto these, while I've also found it incredibly easy to be honest on here, I think that mentality is also trickling into my daily life. I'm finding it much much harder to be dishonest about things when I'm talking with people in person now.

 

^ I feel the same way too. And it's ok Mercy. We all make mistakes (*hug*)

 

The first step of figuring out how to stop lying is admitting that you do. I've helped my sister deal with the same kind of instinctive lying. It sucks, and it's hard to trust a person who does that even after they've admitted to it, because you still know that they could fall back on it. Just do your best, and if you ever lie in a thread correct it in the next message- people trust you more the sooner you tell the truth.
Thank you for being honest now, and good luck.

 

It's alright girlie, no harm done. If anything, EC has taught me that the people on this website are not just blank faces behind a faraway computer screen.

When you're hurtin, you say things, and nobody on here would ever judge you for what you've said, alright?

Now sad faces on this train, let's see a smile? (Sorry, my optimism get's the best of me some times)

 

It takes a lot of strength to do what you just did. Just remember that the people here care about you already, so you don't need to make up stories.

 

You've done the right thing. I imagine it's very difficult to own up your lies and it's very brave of you to do so instead of just running away. I hope you're going to learn from this that you don't need to make up stories to be accepted and cared about. You just have to be who you are and if you're upset about anything you just have to tell us. People will care about you and will try to provide help and support with your real life problems. And I think it's going to be much more helpful and comforting for you to have people helping you with issues you really have instead of having people trying helping out with an issue that doesn't exist.
You don't have to make things bigger than they are to be seen. We care about small troubles just as much.

Take care, Cécile

 

it's all good. (*hug*) at least you came clean.

 

I still care about you, Mercy; I'm very glad that the staff have let you stay and I'm proud for you that you've had the strength to admit it. I hope that you can learn to express yourself better from now. I know that you may be beating youself up inside at the moment for lying. Please don't, because that can be damaging and stop you moving on; accept that you shouldn't have lied, resolve not to do it again and stick to that, and things will be able to improve somehow. I am not mad at you and will never hate you. (*hug*) (*hug*)
