If you thought you were sick, like potentially fatally sick, and you didn't tell the people closest to you, would that be considered lying? No reason I'm asking, just curious.
I'm going to say, if you have medical confirmation of a terminal condition, you are under some obligation to tell the people closest to you. If you're obviously ill and they ask, you should tell them. It's really shitty not to be told, and have that sprung on you.
If you're protractedly ill, you need to have a medical diagnosis, and not just hide under the sofa and hope it goes away.
Not that I have any experience with either side of this issue, you understand.
Oh, yes, if you have conformation you'd be terribly wrong not to let your loved ones know. I'm thinking of that part where we're hiding under the bushes in the yard, debating whether this agonizing thing is worth telling anyone about. Y'know, that part where you're pretty sure liberal applications of 'tussin will help, while also planning your funeral.
