Ask HN: Everybody lies. How do you deal with it though?

Often lying or not telling complete truth contextually becomes easier to have more efficient conversations and relationships. I started with being bad at it in early twenties, but now as I have grown older it's become second nature to quickly cook up a lie to get out of an uncomfortable situation (usually of minor significance most of the times) and to maintain relationships (especially the long distance ones, not necessarily romantic ones). Once in a while on some days, I get super depressed about having to lie so often though, even though they make life way more efficient and lower maintenance cost. On most days, I just accept it as a way of life to live better in present world... Was wondering how other people deal with it? (Asking in this forum, as I feel slightly more technical people will probably prefer to lie to quickly get out of a situation as it's more efficient use of time...)
