I lied about something small, and now it’s way out of control.

Okay, so this is probably one of the dumbest things I’ve ever done. I lied about watching this super popular show that literally everyone I know has seen. It wasn’t even a big deal—I just didn’t want to feel left out when all my friends were talking about it.

At first, it felt harmless. They were all hyped about it, and I didn’t want to be that one person who had nothing to add. So, I just nodded along and said, "Yeah, it’s so good!" thinking they’d move on and forget about it.

Yeah… that didn’t happen.

Now, every time we hang out, they bring it up. They're asking me about my favorite episodes, plot twists, characters, and I’ve just been winging it. I even went as far as reading spoilers and watching random YouTube clips just so I wouldn’t get caught.

But here’s where it gets bad—they’re planning a watch party soon, and they’re expecting me to come and relive the best moments together. The problem? I don’t know anything about the show. I’m screwed.

It’s such a dumb lie, and it’s eating me alive more than it should. Every time someone brings it up, my brain goes into panic mode trying to remember what I made up last time. It’s gotten to the point where I feel like I’m stuck pretending to be this person who’s obsessed with something I’ve never even seen.

I know I should just admit it, but now it feels too late. I don’t even know how to come clean without looking like a complete idiot.

Has anyone else ever been trapped in a stupid lie like this? How do you even get out of it without making everything awkward?
