One of the hardest things ive always found with having an antisocioal personality disorder is lying to your loved ones because they simply wont want to hear the truth.

What /u/_mad_cold_ has said. On top, how do you expect my lawyer to help me win a case without knowing all the full honest details? So if I want to utilize all my resources, this includes reaching out to my loved ones for support, but I have to lie to them about a scenario leading to an unfortunate turnout of events, then they can't really help can they. I also can't admit to what I've done because it will tarnish my reputation and mark me for life in their eyes. I regularly get financial support from them since I come from old money. I'm not cutting myself from that for a stupid confession. It just sucks I can't say it because as aforementioned, it's liberating to do so. Also it's by sharing experiences that others can bring their point of view into it and give you ideas and suggestions on how to perform better next time.
