Lying to your parents/family and feeling guilty

    Do you ever lie to your parents or close family members about things regarding your personal life?

    I do from time to time, since it's nobody's business but my own what I choose to reveal, and what I choose to keep to myself, and if that means coming up with a "cover story," then so be it.

    But I still get that guilty feeling when I do it. It's probably more of a fear of being caught lying, than a feeling of guilt.

    Anyhow, do you ever lie to your parents / close family members about things in your life?

    I did when I was younger, every single day. I never felt guilty though, just unhappy.

    But I'm out now :D

    You shouldn't have to ask that. Everyone lies.

    No, what's the point?

    They'd just question everything you said in the future if they found out you'd lied about something.

    I don't. Although I might be lying.

    "Look, I've got your nose"

    "We love you"

    "Of course you were planned"
