You are off to a: Good start by asking this question here. Please see a mental health professional who treats this. Compulsive lying is just that, a compulsive habit rooted in trying to control the uncontrollable. Relax, nothing is under control. Peace and good health.

Second nature poison: Hi..agree that compulsive liars lie out of habit; can get to the point that it becomes second nature. Awesome that you're inquiring because lying violates expectations of honesty and trust and may poison your relationships. Also agree that therapy can be helpful in addressing the addictive aspect of the behavior or the underlying personality disorder, if that is present. Good luck with this!
