I am trying to survive some tough situations where a bit of deception is required. Sometimes it's just easier to dodge the truth and not cause a screaming match because the details don't really mean anything but will cause a problem because things are so difficult and explosive. I don't go around telling lies, but if it'll help me get through the day in my relationship I'll definitely skew things.
Yea, I'll "lie" for the sake of convenience. I'm never lying for personal gain, but I'll spare the details sometimes because they don't matter in the first place and I'm tired and just wanna go to my bed.
I try not to lie and I do like to keep it as close to 0 as possible, but it does come up situationally.
My therapist says it's totally normal if that helps at all.
I'm a psychologist so I know it's normal lol. A better way of putting tho is withholding the truth vs really lying though
Oh wow, that's such an interesting job.
