Is choosing not to tell someone something a lie? I mean, think about it. If they don't ask, and you don't tell, is that a lie? Or is it simply not mentioning something that happened? My mom called it a "lie of omission," but I disagree. I fail to see how it could be interpreted as a lie -- I think it's just simply deciding not to tell someone

I think in a situation like this it's important to analyze why you want to tell someone something. It sounds like you want to do it in order to make yourself feel better (so you won't feel guilty or awkward) but it's going to make someone else feel worse. In a situation like that I would be very careful about hurting someone else just to make myself feel better

Last night I actually wrote down my real priorities on post-its and put them on my wall. I looked at them today, and insted of just loafing around on the internet for a few hours, I actually did my homework ( I usually do it at school ). It made me feel better, knowing I was all done and I could do whatever for the rest of the day. So, I guess I'm saying thank you for the suggestion :) It helps a lot.

love you.
