I'm constantly lying to my family about my degree
What about your parents makes you want to hide the truth about your degree?
My mom is a super successful businesswoman and my dad is a highly respected manager.
Compared to your parents, you must feel inadequate, but hiding your own educational accomplishment from them will make them distrust you. Be honest with them and trust that they will love you no matter what.
Maybe. This is a big deal to me though
I'm sorry if you took it the wrong way, what I meant to say is that they will love you so there won't be anything to worry about after you've told them. I can understand why you would feel a lot of anxiety before telling them.
