i wonder if my sense that i'm always doing something wrong comes from going to confession at catholic schools i always thought we *had* to have a sin to tell the priest, so even though i didnt really get it, i'd always say i was rude to my mother

because it would be kind of rude or awkward to come to confession without having a sin, and the priest would think you were lying or pompous but then you wondered whether it was also sinning to lie during confession but youd do it anyway but then agonize about it later???

ahahahah the first part yes but iirc i didnt think i was lying, more like "well i must have sinned so what was it? my mom keeps saying i'm being rude," sometimes w an actual instance of rudeness but i seem to recall sometimes it was more like "she said it so it must be true"

oh yeah bc confession was mandatory for some reason!!! extremely sus so if it was mandatory you HAVE to say something u cant just be like "nah i'm good thanks" (penalty for rudeness was always like, 10 hail maries which i'd do very quickly)

man i never at any point got that sense of atonement :/ i was taught you couldnt take the Eucharist if you hadnt recently har confession (probably shorthand for "if you've sinned since your last confession") but my Catholic education wasnt great so idk
