I keep lying to my mum and i think itz hurting her… - Help.com

If you are asked if you are ok and you don’t want to sit and explain to someone when your not ok I don’t see why you should have to say all the time.
If they are lies for gain then I can see that as a problem.

It seems you lie to people because you want them to like you. As long as you feel that someone will dislike you when you tell the truth, you will keep lying.

The “trick” is understanding that it’s better to have a longterm relationship of trust (and develop a reputation for honesty) than feel good in the shortterm by lying to someone (and developing a reputation for saying anything to get out of trouble).

That sounds like normal teenage lies to me.
When you are a teenager your parents feel the need to be more involved in what you are doing because you are gaining more independance and they want to make sure your doing things you shouldn’t.
You just want privacy thats all.
Maybe if you explain that to your mum she may lay off a little and then you won’t feel the need to lie to every question she asks.

i had the same problems when i was a teenager and everyonce in awhile i still get the urge to lie. and im going on 26 yrs old. i just think of how i can compound my problems by lying. and not only adding to my problems i can add to the problems of my loved ones. thats what i think about. getting your problem out in the open often feels better in the long run than suppressing it and keeping it in, plus it gives you wrinkles..lmao…
