  1. In response to this: No. You're not alone. I came here for much the same reason. Yes, we can lie, but the anxiety that accompanies such things can be so overwhelming that we'll eventually blurt out the truth whether we want to or not. I only say we because I see some similarities, but I can't know for certain if it's the same thing. I recently got myself into serious trouble because I said that I would do something (without truly understanding what it entailed). Going through the process, I felt like I was in over my head, but I kept going through with it because I said that I would, and I couldn't go back on my word. I honestly don't know what causes something like this. Sure, there's some abuse in my past (siblings), but I can't recall anything having to do with lying. There might be brain damage (auto accident when I was very young). I would think that it would have manifested closer to the accident (it's been going on since high school). I started noticing this around puberty (high school). At the same time I developed social anxiety (but what teenager hasn't?) and some other issues. I think it might be chemical (neurological) in nature. I just can't get anyone to run any sort of test. You tell someone that you can't lie, and you get two reactions. 1. They don't believe you. 2. They applaud you and then ignore it. If you think about it, if there's a compulsory liar, then there must be the opposite. We probably fit into that category, but since medical science doesn't consider the truth to be bad, no one wants to think about it. Truth is good. It's the compulsion that's a problem.
