lies are the bane of my existance. I was so abused for truth telling in my childhood, that I pretty much just shut up. Now as an adult, who has lived close to many many people, I see the vast most of them BS their way through most of the time.
No attachment to the truth of their statements, they just wanna get through looking good.

I have to brace myself to say, "Nope, I can't" but, then it's better cause I don't have that aftertaste of lie in my mouth.
Finding people to have "clean" relationships with is difficult.
That's just life, I think.
