I'm looking for a job, but my resume is pretty scarce. I'm starting to think that's why I haven't been getting any interviews at all. Usually I'm too nervous to lie, but I have no real choice right now, so I'm trying to think about any obvious holes that might end up in my story.

    And if you don’t want to lie about certain things (why not though)

    because it's exhausting, and the whole capitalist neurotypical song and dance makes me want to die?

      Definitely. I have autism and it makes me hate lying to people. Not for any moral reason when it comes to job hunting, I'd steal from businesses instead of working for them if I were absolutely certain I'd get away with it. But the act of telling the lie makes me extremely anxious that I'll overlook something important and sound like an idiot.

      Oh yeah for sure, if I lie about something like that I spend time to get that shit straight and half-believe it myself
