Take pride. 🌈
With as much as I have hidden from my parents in the past six months, I would consider myself to be quite a liar. I lied to my mother yesterday. However, I do not believe that you have to be completely honest to maintain a good relationship. However, athough you may have a good [untruthful] relationship with somebody, they have every right not to trust you.
I see lying as a valid defense mechanism for an individual’s issues.
I never plan to lie though; I only do it when I am placed in a position where lying is the better option. I try not to place myself in a position where I am compelled to lie.
I have also noticed that I (myself) often am in denial when I do not tell the truth and I make myself believe that my own lies are true.
I am rambling; therefore, I will stop now.
