This is a weird post for me to relate to but I do. I don't know if I'd call myself a pathologi pathological liar but I lied a lot in my teen years, mostly to make it seem like I have a more interes life than I actually do but sometimes for really weird reasons as well (like there are people in my life that to thus day believe my birthday is 10 days earlier than my actual birthday just because I liked being a Leo better than a Virgo).

I still do it on a much lesser scale to these days, most often still to make myself seem like a much more interesting person than I actually am, but also quiet often to get out conversations or social obligations.
