Dear Diary,


      I did something terrible wrong, I lied to someone I uswd to be so close that it is looks like we are in mutual standing status. He asked me if I have hiding something to him since we met. I don't have any idea what he is saying so I asked him. He asked me if I have a boyfriend. To be honest, i don't know what to say. Should I say that I don't have or Should I just lie to him so we can set our boundaries to each other. And there, I lied to him. He told me that I should said that I have a bf when we met so He can avoid something. I want to tell him that I just saying that I have a boyfriend and just want to set a boundaries, but my other side doesn't want too.

I say lies can be beneficial as well as the truth. For satisfying self-interest like how you said it was for boundaries, I would probably do the same thing. (In fact I may have already done this in my lifetime). As I see it, every action has its consequence/s so we should just be aware of that, maybe be ready to face it in the future and not regret the choice we made.

I didn't read this in detail because I feel like I don't have to to tell you honesty is the most sincere way to approach social dilemmas. Trust me, you don't want to drag on someone if they feel a certain way for you. You'll only feel more terrible than you do now when they're hurt by you not telling them or hiding things from them. If you want a true friendship, you should be open and honest. The ball is then in their court. It is also important to state your intentions. If they won't accept it, please, don't feel bad. For every door that closes, a new one opens. Have a great day. 🤍
