Experiencing moral injury
did affect my relationships

with other people because

feeling like

you're a person who isn't

reliable, a person who isn't

necessarily truthful
because I'm not

telling everybody
about these particular things.

If you’re like lying through
omission, it definitely impacted

the way that I viewed myself.
Am I somebody who's worth

getting to know and

getting to build a
relationship with

if I'm not a truthful person
and then you carry that around.

I'm a liar, I'm a fake.

and I definitely can't be real
with other people. So...
