"compulsive" lying and AVPD?

im really trying to stop, but im not even sure how to get over the fear that pushes it?
like ever since i dropped out of highschool, i've been lying to my parents abt the dumbest shit
eg. having friends. mostly... yeah. its mostly about having "closer" friends.
to the point where i've fabricated entire hang-outs when it was rlly just me going to the library alone lol

when i get home theyll ask me about what i did, who i saw, etc. and like. i don't ENTIRELY lie. i just... stretch the truth. a lot. like... i did see people i knew from highschool there! but i didnt fucking interract with them at all, but still. feel this intense NEED to act like im a functional human being, to lie and claim we hung out. i'll regurgitate shit i know abt them from social media and not actually from interraction eg "Kyle got a new dog, Jess moved to another city" etc.

it started as me literally just stating "Oh X was there too!" which. wasnt even a lie. but its rlly started to become a habit?? to just. sprinkle a little more information in there, to the point im making up entire stories. i think??

are there any actual skills to learn to. stop. because its really getting out of hand and i cant keep up with what ive said or not?? which is just starting to make me feel like i look like a horrible person.
