Dear caroline1234:

All I have here is the title of this new, third thread (the italicization is my addition): “I lied about staying in a psychiatric institution“. The title of your first thread of August 2021 is: “How do I cope with feeling guilty after compulsively lying?“.

You opened your very first post on August 25, 2021, with: “I was a compulsive liar during my entire youth, I think… I used to make up boyfriends and dramatic stories to make my life seem more interesting and to become attention“.

Two days later, you wrote: “about my childhood… my olde sister was very sick, she suffered from a chronical illness. It was very hard for me to handle the limitations that come with a sick family member. Of course, she was the center of attention” –

– I suggested to you at the time that maybe the motivation behind your compulsive lying (your term) was to get attention, but you didn’t respond to my suggestion. Would you like to respond to it now?
