    I’ve found omitting key information to be a good substitute for fabricating lies when I need to deceive.

      This is actually what I’m trying to work on. My therapist is also trying to help me to not overshare being a dirty commie by answering a question with a question.

      I inadvertantly told the preacher at my wife’s church that I’m reading marxist literature and then I sort of freaked a bit. My therapist said if he asks about it again in the future, to just be like “yeah, have you read anything from Marx?”

          In my defense, I think he’s sort of left leaning as it is, scholarly, and at least well read in progressive theology. The church we go to has been going through a reformation of sorts after they realized a few years ago that women exist. They’ve always had non-conservative preachers since I’ve been around and I think they went with this guy last year when they hired him because he’s young and progressive.

          At the time I said it, I felt like he might have been able to be ok with it but in hindsight, I kind of regret it. I normally tell people I “read economic theory stuff” and let them extrapolate what they will from that.

          And tbf, he really is a decent person so far.
