Unfortunately I too easily recognize your black and white thinking: from experience!
I have learned, part of my therapy, that not everything I catalogued as a lie, was really a lie. People "misspeak" in that what they say may not be the truth, but it isn't a "lie."
Also, it is not always the truth that someone is looking for, and it takes insight to realize that and perhaps just plain not answer the question. You might also be calling that a lie?
By God's law, we are all liars.
Few of us really "lie", that is,consciously distort the truth for our own benefit, or for the detriment of another.
So while I don't believe I am such a liar, I also don't have the idea that everyone lies to me. Again, therapy helped me realize this.
