Interestingly I've read that most Aspies find it hard to lie and are very honest... sometimes that is true with me but other times the opposite.
For some reason, in social situations when I am putting on "a mask", I think of a hypothetical scenario, or something that almost happened and tell everyone it did actually happen. As an example, recently I almost killed all my parents' fish by throwing the plug over the fence while valeting my mum's car (accident of course), but I told my friends at college that it actually did happen and that the fish got fried! I don't know exactly why I do this, and I might sound like a bad person because of it, but in a way I think it is a desperate way to try to fit in (by having something interesting to say) and get some attention.
I'm just curious, is there anyone here who understand why I do this or have even done it yourself? Do you think I'm a bad person because of it? After I tell these made-up stories I do feel kind of bad, but at the time I'm just really trying to fit in. Sorry if this makes little sense.
