I was incredibly drunk around my new friends and I jokingly told them something about myself that I didn't think they'd believe but they did and they kept asking further questions and I was just answering them with more lies because at the time I was thinking "Do they really believe me??? wow" so then the morning after I was so annoyed at myself why I had told a lie because this lie can be easily found out to be false if they ask the right people
Next time we were drunk the topic came up again and I lied about it again because I was too worried about what they would think about me if I told them I'd lied the first time
I don't know why I can't stop lying about this, I would tell them it's all a joke but I've been so convincing that they're just gonna think I'm a compulsive attention seeker liar.
It's not like I can just avoid talking about it or pretend i'd never said it because they sometimes ask me questions about it.
They'd be pretty annoyed if they found out I was lying about it. I dunno what to do, I don't want to keep lying about it but if I came clean I feel like they would never trust anything I say again.
