how do i stop struggling with lying by omission when i dont want to talk about certain things?
for example:
them: “hey how are you, and your family?”
me: “uh… we’re fine.”
and then i feel like a douche. because we’re not fine. at all. so sometimes it goes like this:
me: “my family and i are having very complicated issues but i dont really wanna talk about it”
them: “then why did you bring it up???”
the only solution is not to bring it up, but i REALLY struggle with lying. even if its for a good reason.
