I just don't wanna feel alone in having experienced this
I did something embarrassing once in high school and it just makes me feel so guilty for no reason.
people used to talk about crushes all the time back then, I had none because im aro-spec (which i didn't know back then). so, everytime one of my friends asked me, i lied. lied to 3 of my friends, made up non existent crushes on the first guy friend that came to mind.
I'm no longer in contact with 2 of the friends i lied to, and 2 of the guy friends i lied about. but my sibling is still friends with one of those guy friends, and whenever we meet i feel so guilty about having lied on bro's name like that
it also doesn't help that I'm lesbian, so all of that was just comphet.
have any of you guys done something similar? maybe because of comphet, maybe because of fomo, i just wanna know because i know no other person who's had to lie about this
ngl this screams me in primary to high school i would just lie abt crushes cuz I dont fw men snd idrc abt other ppl

Nah you’re so valid for this though. If it makes you feel any better I went one step further and actively ‘dated’ one of my friends for 2 months who actually liked me T-T I’m also aro btw! Nice to see another in the wild lol

It's bad to tell lies to your close friends. My school friends are not as nice as my parents' friends' children from the swimming club we go to. Some BTS fangirls from my school love to bully me although we're friends on TT and insta. So I made sure to take many photos and videos with all of my parents' favorite artists and post them on my insta. I......
