Good Evening Doctor,
I am 24 years old, i feel regret what i have done today. Today i visited my uncles house for a family time, he is diagnosed with pnemonia since 27th August and now he is feeling well. But when my aunt asked for some food i said i am having gas trouble, actually i don't have any gas trouble but a fear of spread of pnemonia to me so i said lie that i am having gas trouble. But had a black coffee. But now i feel that i have said a lie and i also feel like they also feel like due to their pnemonia issue i am not having food there but i had a coffee from there house. Due to this i feel regret and feeling of cry due to my behaviour. Is my behaviour of not having food was wrong?. I only seen my saftey thats why i said no to food and had a coffee. Please guide me.

Hi. Sometimes it's not germ but our ego strength that causes serious illnesses. Be strong and accept things. Mental strength will protect you from anything.
Thank you for reaching out to me with your concerns. I hear you and I understand you've been filled with guilt and regret over lying for your safety.
It is okay to put your hygenic safety first, no matter the reason. Your concern is about lying - however, you only did so to protect yourself and to make sure your relatives do not feel hurt. Your intentions weren't wrong.
Since lying makes you uncomfortable, next time, you could try to communicate your needs assertively to your aunt or simply deny eating.

Hello!
This is not wrong. You didn't deny everything entirely. You still drank something from their house. Putting your safety first is not wrong. You cannot always take care of others emotions. You ll have to take care of yourself first.
