Do you find yourself lying about your past because the truth is too odd and embarrassing to explain?

No, I do not lie. But I am very selective about what I reveal.

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.

My answer is in part of each of the previous posts(!) Lying is too complex for me (I have a hard enough time trying to keep track of reality.) I'm very selective about what I reveal. Mainly, I just don't talk about it.

So, I don't really lie, but I'm very careful with how I say things, when I say them at all. I'm a truthful person. Just don't press too hard.



(Oh. And then there's explaining at all really. There's so much I can't explain for myself, let alone to anyone else.)

I do not lie about my past, but neither do I volunteer anything. Only my wife and Pdoc know the full story. TBH even I cannot recall a lot of my past, which makes it easy not to lie about it. It is frustrating, because I often have to ask my wife about things that happened because I cannot recall. Most of my life back to my teenage years are a total blur. Thanks Medication.....
