Hey all. I have had a problem with this for most of my life. I'm going to counseling, but I may not be progressing fast enough. Any ideas on how to break this?

I have this problem with lying to my friend sto make my stories sound cooler becuase I talk so much. most of the time It ends up with me telling a completely unbelievable sob story. what I do is try to think everything I say out before I say it. if I catch myself in the middle of a story I will just stop and say nevermind and quit talking. sure I seem strange then but it saves me more humiliation later

I used to have that really bad when I was little. I still kind of have it. What I do when I catch myself lying is either say nevermind to the person or just stop yourself in the middle of the lie and be like 'wait, let me restart'. You have to try and help yourself too.
