Question about lying in confession

[Amandylinee]

I struggle greatly with scrupulosity so please hang in there with me.
About a month ago, I went to confession and I told the priest something I am struggling with. Often times, when I post things on facebook about my faith or asking for prayers and what not, there’s always this thought that “I hope the guy I like sees this and thinks I’m a good/holy person.” A month ago I posted a status and picture about my deceased great aunt as it was the anniversary of her death. I told the priest about how I posted it and about the thought about people thinking I’m holy and what not, but I didn’t get specific. I believe I told him that I had the thought that “oh, I hope this person I like sees it.” I didn’t specify that it was this guy that I like. Was this lying? I confessed lying in confession at some point after that, but I’m still worried. I
Also, please pray that these thoughts are stripped from my mind. I want to be able to post things about my faith and prayer requests and what I mentioned(honoring my deceased great aunt) without that thought of “oh, well I hope this person sees it and thinks I am holy.”
Also, is that a mortal sin? I posted a prayer request about my very ill uncle on facebook and that same thought of “oh, I hope he sees this” coming to my mind.
My scrupulosity seems to take over me sometimes. Please pray for me and that I may trust in Him more.
Thanks and God Bless.

I didn’t mention that I hoped it was “the guy I liked” because I found it embarrassing, which I know is wrong, but is it mortally sinful?

No, you did not lie.

Also, is that a mortal sin?

Well,. first you need to understand what a mortal sin is. It is when you commit a grave sin on purpose. So, you are not in grave sin because you didn’t do anything grave and on purpose.

No. Posting something b/c you hope a guy will see it and like you is not even sinful, much less morally sinful. So, you didn’t need to mention it in confession at all.

Seeing that you have scrupulosity issues, you should get a regular confessor and listen strictly to him. You are not able to be an accurate judge of sinfullness when under the effects of scrupulosity.

God Bless
