I lied about being color blind all through high school
When I was a kid I was super awkward and had no friends. When I got into high school all the friends I had previously spent time with had moved away and I had to make a whole new group of friends which really sucked. Because I didn’t make friends well I had to come up with a cool story so that people would like me so I told everyone I was fully color blind. People would ask me what color things were and I’d just say a random color. And when people asked like how I matched clothes and stuff I always told them that I guessed based on the shades of grey. The good part about it all was I never got graded on color accuracy on any project I ever did. The bad part was that it got a lot of other people in trouble because they were kind mean. I had a science partner that scratched the colors off the table colored pencils just to make it impossible for me to do the project we were doing. I got to use my notes for that science final because I wasn’t able to use a color coded map. Even now if I see someone from high school they’ll laugh and ask me what color something is and I just laugh it off. I kinda feel bad looking back now but it’s too late to tell the truth 🤷♀️
