I don’t condone lying, but sometimes it happens, especially when people expect you to know everything. For example, I’ve been losing weight and prefer things to be perfect due to past trauma. I’ve started healing and remind myself it’s okay if things aren’t perfect every time; I don’t need to panic. Since I started my weight loss journey, I haven’t tracked my progress because I’m afraid of gaining even a pound, which could send me into a depression I’m trying to recover from. Still, people notice my weight loss and ask about my previous weight and how much I’ve lost. I usually just give random numbers because I don’t want to look like a fool, but I also don’t want to be their friend. Do any of you do this?
