What would be the less shameful reason why you would have to be detained overnight?
You hit an ice agent in front of the police.
Some dude was hitting a girl so you hit him and got pulled up for it. But also consider just taking the truth because people will more or less react the same way and you don’t have to worry about them believing you or maintaining that lie.
Least shameful would probably be drunk tank. Anyone who drinks has overdone it at some point, some people were just unlucky and happened to be noticed by an officer
Yeah, pretty much this. I’d seriously go for @RamRabbit@lemmy.world’s advice, but if you must lie about it, just say that you got a bit too wasted, couldn’t find a ride, and a cop found you before a friend did. One night in the drunk tank isn’t a big deal
Just fucking own it and do better. Downplaying it means not only do people still think badly of you, but now they know you also don’t take responsibility for your own actions and instead lie about them.
You also don’t have to be specific about what happened, only that you are actively improving yourself and what steps you are taking to do so.
Edit: You are taking steps to actively improve yourself, right?
Agreed. If it really is for a stupid reason like OP said, then this feels like a simple “I was an idiot, got caught, and ended up having a rude (but necessary) awakening. Thankfully that’s all it was, and now I know not to do it again. It’s time for some changes.”
Why does this feel like Leia asking Anakin?
Most honorable != Least shameful
Not disputing, but would you be willing to elaborate?
You can see here that I’m torn apart by doubts!
It’s really nobody’s else’s business. They could do that for literally nothing.
