Well at least for std issues I know some answers - not shame. I used to be the wacky safe sex slut back in the day, participating in "freak day at the free clinic" events. Yes really. I talked openly about disease, but in a way that ... eventually when I grew up a little ... was nonjudgmental. Also, tons of my friends had stds, so I became comfortable with the issue generally. Add in my talkative nature even on sensitive subjects, and I often shared my opinions...and I guess as people realized I wasn't insulting people with or for having (or had) stds more people shared with me. I also had, and have, a reputation for keeping secrets.
I understand lying for money, but as a pattern over years with flagrant lies designed to steal money from others, ick. I recently watched american greed and a sister of a counterfeiter explained they weren't bad people because they bought child-friendly items with fake $100s to steal the change - then tossed the new items into clothing donation bins; "like robin hood." To them the stores that we all have to pay higher prices at because of their theft were the evil that it was moral to steal from.
