You may still feel guilty because that lie could have hurt someone. That someone could even be you. Telling the truth was the first step. Suffering the consequences is the second. Third: Forgiving yourself.

-I disagree with the above.

When you lied you did something wrong. Feeling guilty is a result of this. To not feel guilty you have to be truly sorry you did something wrong and ask forgiveness of the person you lied to.

Asking forgiveness of God is something I would also recommend, as He doesn't hold with lying, and is more important than the person you lied to.

What is habitual lying?

I, although have no medical experience, do believe it is. My whole life has been a lie. My mother lied to me till the day she died. My ex husband lied to me throughout out 12 y marriage, and my younger brother is just as bad. And it isn't about anything important. It seems as though most of it is to make themselves look beter. Their lives aren't as important as they would like them to be, so lying and making themselves out to be something else, feeds their egos. Its really sad, because they actually don't understand the impact their lies have on the ones aroud them.
