Hello sociopathbg: Well... I'm not exactly sure what all went on here.

But as the old saying goes: "Honesty is the best policy." It's also the most simple since you don't have to keep track of all of the fibs you've told everyone & try to keep them consistent.

My suggestion here is to simply come clean with everyone as best you can & go on from there. Chalk this up to a learning experience. Good luck.
