Yes, i lie if telling the truth can cause me harm. I had a very tumultuous youth, and did a lot of things that people would judge in my teens, up to about 21, when i was undiagnosed and pretty crazy. I don't typically lie, i just don't talk about it. But i have lied at times, and i think it was a good decision. I wish the world was more understanding, but it's not. Unfortunately being truthful and forthcoming has caused a lot of problems, so i'm more careful now. I don't like to lie, but sometimes i feel it's my only option.
