I lie to people constantly. I lie about things I've done and places I've been and I lie just for fun. I used to do it just to cover my tracks if I was trying to get away with something, but now I do it just because I enjoy it. Should I feel bad about this?

Yes, you should feel bad about this. Lying is wrong and a sign of insecurity and lack of trustworthiness. It may have started out as a way to protect yourself, but continuing to lie simply because you enjoy it is not healthy or acceptable.

It's not a healthy way to communicate and it's certainly not a great way to cultivate trust in relationships. You should consider whether you are doing it for attention, out of boredom or due to a fear of being judged. Thinking about why you do it could help you find more effective and healthy strategies.
