I have been told I lie a lot. I think it's a lie, but I'm not certain. It all gets complicated in my head, especially when momma used to say, "if you tell the truth from the start, you don't get into trouble" (ie. you recognised it is wrong and you show remorse".
Lying is just a tool to spare people's feelings.
"Does my bum look big in this dress?"
"Yes, because you're bum is big. But thats ok because I like big butts and I cannot lie...!"
This NEVER goes down well!
To paraphrase a Paloma Faith album title "Do you want the truth or something beautiful?" The truth is usually something terrible. We use phrases like "the cold hard truth" and "if truth be told..." but very few times do people actually want the truth.
Autism and being truthful kinda go hand in hand, but masking allows you to play fast and loose with it, simply because it's a neurotypical thing to do.
Has anyone had any situations where truth and lies have been blurred, and did you end you carrying the guilt but not know why?
Thank you
