A few weeks ago I was with a group of friends and several people began to make fun of a friend who was not present quite loudly.

Honestly, I didn't participate much, but I didn't defend her either.

Days later she asked me directly if anyone had said anything about her because she noticed strange attitudes.

And I lied to his face saying no, I was probably imagining things.

The truth is that I didn't want to get into drama or look bad with the group.

But I honestly feel horrible because she trusted me and I preferred to protect my comfort rather than tell her the truth.

A few months ago I made a pretty big mistake at work.

It wasn't something very serious, but it did cause problems and delays for several people.

When my boss started to ask what had happened, another colleague said that maybe he had done something wrong because he had worked on that task before me.

And I stayed silent.

I literally had several opportunities to admit that the mistake was mine, but I was too scared to get in trouble.

My partner ended up apologizing in front of everyone while I pretended to check my computer like it was nothing.

The worst thing is that he has always been a good person to me.

I still feel horrible when I remember it.
