She lies so nonchalantly in all those interviews. It's really convincing, like she does it for a living.
Like, I would've just eaten up every word. Maybe I'm too gullible, I've had that feeling lately.
Hits too close home.
There are points where I have to fact check things with myself to make sure I don't believe my own BS. Initially using it to escape beatings and following with using it as a social booster and a talent to help my scamming I am now worried about losing touch with reality as I have multiple versions of events and things that benefit me in various situations except when I have to keep check of reality. I am not sure whether to keep it going for the benefits or give it up so I don't lose my sanity by my own doing.

I thought as much.
It's not all that bad to lie every now and then. I remember making up a lot of stories when I was your age and I was traveling. It was fun trying to be a different person IRL than I had been previously and to see people's demeanor around me based on whatever story I told them.
But I've never been a good liar, I don't believe for a second anyone bought half of what I said. Kept them entertained, though, and I guess they found me more interesting since I was so stupidly and blatantly lying to their face about such obviously fake stuff. I never took advantage of anyone, so I never saw it as an issue either.
Where in Sweden are you going? You know they value honesty over there. Like, a lot. Scandinavia is weird like that. If they catch you in a lie, no matter how small, they will distrust you forever.

You've discussed this sort of thing before, and even tried to hype it as a source of strength for a bit when you and Tryp were watching autohypnosis ego-boosting shit. It's kinda like gaslighting yourself towards confidence, especially once the immediate company you start keeping are only enablers, and you aren't the only one on this forum who does it.
Chi No Wadachi (Trail of Blood) does a good job demonstrating it in media, but it's otherwise not usually covered too much. Even shows like Breaking Bad tend to go with a "Dissociative Fugue State" approach where they can just keep details from the audience instead of demonstrating unreliable narration to it's fullest.
What's worth considering is how your own issues with this resembles those around you. The main dividing line between you and them is a legitimate cash incentive that the others here otherwise lack that further bolsters and enables the tendency, even as it bleeds into non-financial aspects of your life.

Her eyes and vocal delivery give me bad vibes right away.

I've binge watched these as well. The Stephen Mcdaniels one I found the most interesting because at some point he detaches entirely and none of the officers can get anything out of him. Also the part where he was giving a live interview about the girls disappearance and was told on air that cops may have found the body, fucking dude just collapsed
I've been loving this channel the past week.
My favorites are what you shared and the legend of Jeff because of the humor.
Stephen McDanial is interesting too, he goes completely monotone for his interview.
It's a very addictive channel lol. I've seen that second one, but I haven't seen the first. Watching it now.

You're way better at this than me then.
