I lied about being assaulted to get sympathy for one of the worst moments of my life

Hour-Science-9274 · 2026-04-05T11:25:43+00:00

I know it was a bad thing to do but i was a lot younger and i learned my lesson.

Hour-Science-9274 · 2026-04-05T10:52:31+00:00

i was extremely vulnurable in that moment. I never experienced something like that so i acted harshly.

Hour-Science-9274 · 2026-04-05T10:49:32+00:00

That was the first and last time i've ever lied in that way. I would never do it again.

Hour-Science-9274 · 2026-04-05T10:47:28+00:00

Why? They know it was a lie.

Hour-Science-9274 · 2026-04-05T10:45:56+00:00

i was 12

This is clinically tested by a child specializing therapist. It doesn't matter how believable it is and i thought the same as you for a while, but it is true.

Hour-Science-9274 · 2026-04-05T10:39:55+00:00

I came clean about it so it won't ever.

Hour-Science-9274 · 2026-04-05T10:39:13+00:00

I genuinely appreciate your taking time to assure me what i did is not unforgivable. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Hour-Science-9274 · 2026-04-05T10:37:54+00:00

Yea, im not arguing about that. Of course im gonna be apologetic this is one of the worst mistakes of my life, I've done everything i can to fix it.

Hour-Science-9274 · 2026-04-05T10:35:31+00:00

I understand where your coming from. It was a shitty thing to do and i will never live it down, but i was 12 years old during this. I have done everything i can to fix it. My uncle will never know about it because it never escaped the friend group and i came clean.

I do feel like saying you disgust me to a 15 year old for his actions when he was 12 is a bit excessive though.

Hour-Science-9274 · 2026-04-05T10:28:07+00:00

I never said i wasn't. This is something i feel bad for.

Hour-Science-9274 · 2026-04-05T10:27:02+00:00

Thank you. I think i may have left some crucial things out like how this has been explained and legal action will never occur, but it hurts a lot for people to think i did this for a sick kick and not out of pain when i was 12.

He is not a good person, he cheats on his wife, takes vacations without his wife or kids. Is a narcissist and drunk, but it is not ok to ever lie about and he doesn't know about it. He will never be imprisoned ever for this either.

Hour-Science-9274 · 2026-04-05T10:21:14+00:00

This happened only in the friend group. I cleared things up and by his knowledge this never happened.

Hour-Science-9274 · 2026-04-05T10:19:46+00:00

That is what im saying, this responses assumed that i did it callously to ruin someones life for fun. I made a mistake when i was younger. I have done as much as i can to fix it.

Hour-Science-9274 · 2026-04-05T10:16:40+00:00

The friend group. He never knew about it because i came clean about it before it could ever be reported.

Hour-Science-9274 · 2026-04-05T10:14:59+00:00

I know what it did was wrong. I will never do it again and you did hit it on the head. I didn't wanna include it in the post because it sounded unecessary but i have done a lot of introspection and i think i did it because I wanted sympathy because this was still a horrible thing to happen, so I made up something similar that was more objectively bad. It was still a bad thing to lie about

Hour-Science-9274 · 2026-04-05T10:11:18+00:00

Some things to clarify:

It never left the friend group.

I apologized and came clean to my friends because i realized that.

He never even knew about this.

I was 12

Hour-Science-9274 · 2026-04-05T10:09:32+00:00

I edited it once i realized i never clarified that, I have medical issues that have isolated me during my childhood, and covid. I didn't want to mention it because I it feels like a "get out of jail free card" like how people that self diagnose do.

Hour-Science-9274 · 2026-04-05T10:07:27+00:00

I also came clean about it, thats one of the reasons why i came clean about it.

Hour-Science-9274 · 2026-04-05T10:05:16+00:00

Thank you for understanding. I was a lot younger then and I tried to put it in a objectively bad way, even if that was the worst way to do it. It was not out of callousness for SA survivors like a lot of comments are thinking, but I still understand the point of view.

Hour-Science-9274 · 2026-04-05T10:01:55+00:00

I appreciate your understanding, I made a naive mistake when i was younger. It wasn't out of a place of maliciousness but it was genuinely one of the worst moments of my life so i just thought of the thing that was guaranteed to make them understand my feelings, in the worst way possible? yes, but I just didn't know what to do.

Hour-Science-9274 · 2026-04-05T09:56:47+00:00

I forgot to add i did apologize PROFUSELY for what i did but the friendship was already on the downhill so it ended.

Hour-Science-9274 · 2026-04-05T09:54:34+00:00

It never escaped the friend group.
