I lied about my height in my resume and feel incredibly guilty

I added 2cm to my height "on the resume and have never stopped thinking about it. I'm female btw.<br><br>I'm 17M & 164cm tall, and the job I applied for is a job I'm passionate about.<br><br>I was raised tall for a woman and so I've never felt like I'm "too short." However, I've always wanted to be 166cm. It just seems "taller" to me, and I've always thought that if I were 2cm taller, I would have been more confident.<br><br>As a result, I tend to round up my height to 166cm in everyday conversations, but I've never actually claimed to be 166cm. My friends and family are aware that I'm not quite 166cm.<br><br>One day, I decided to apply for a job as a flight attendant, which was my dream job.<br><br>As I was filling out the resume, I had a surge of courage and wrote down 166cm as my height. I thought, "What if this is the key to my dream job? Maybe being 2cm taller will make a big difference."<br><br>Of course, I knew it was a lie, but I told myself that it was only 2cm and that I wasn't hurting anyone. I felt a strange sense of excitement and pride as I wrote down the "fake" height.<br><br>But as I submitted the form, I couldn't shake the feeling of guilt. I began wondering what would happen if I got the job and they found out about my lie. Would they fire me? Would they see me as untrustworthy?<br><br>I couldn't sleep that night, my heart racing with anxiety.<br><br>The next day, I couldn't take it anymore. I decided to confess and wrote an email to the HR department, explaining that I had lied about my height.<br><br>To my surprise, they replied, saying that they appreciated my honesty and that the height requirement was just a formality. They offered me a chance to interview, and I was relieved.<br><br>I didn't get the job, but I was grateful for the opportunity and the lesson I learned. I realized that honesty is always the best policy, even if it's just a small lie.<br><br>From now on, I'll make sure to be truthful, even if it's just about something as "harmless" as my height.
