Question about violating immigration status

[MrsH23 37]

Hi.. anyone who overstayed.. on the yes/ no questions it asks if you have ever violated the conditions of your immigration status.. I was told to answer yes to this (the overstay).. at interview stage has anyone ever had any issues with this when they ask this question? 
 

and before people attack me yes I know I shouldn’t have overstayed but I’m just wondering if and what the immigration officers say to you answering yes to this...

"Yes" is correct.

If you are "Immediate Relative" then no issue: https://www.uscis.gov/policy-manual/volume-7-part-b-chapter-8

Immediate Relatives

Certain adjustment bars do not apply to an immediate relative, including the spouse or child (unmarried and under 21 years old) of a U.S. citizen, and the parent of a U.S. citizen older than 21. ^[2] 

An adjustment applicant applying as an immediate relative may be eligible to adjust status even if: 

• The applicant is now employed or has ever been employed in the United States without authorization; 

• The applicant is not in lawful immigration status on the date he or she files the adjustment application; 

• The applicant has ever failed to continuously maintain a lawful status since entry into the United States; 

• The applicant was last admitted to Guam or the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI) as a visitor under the Guam or CNMI Visa Waiver Program and is not a Canadian citizen; 

• The applicant was last admitted to the United States as a nonimmigrant visitor without a visa under the Visa Waiver Program; or 

• The applicant has ever violated the terms of his or her nonimmigrant status.

I have not heard of  a single case in which an overstay was even discussed for an immediate relative of a US citizen.
