To learn how to be more honest, you must first admit that you have a problem with lying. You don’t have to tell everyone about your situation, but it’s tough to make changes if you’re not honest with yourself. You will not be able to stop lying if you continue to justify some of the lies you tell internally.
Choose someone in your life with whom you can be completely honest about your lying habit, whether a close friend, family member or mental health professional. Making significant changes one at a time is the best strategy. Choosing one person with whom you will always be honest can help you establish new habits that can eventually help you stop lying much more often.
