That's interesting, because I come from the other end of things. I was a very bad liar as a child - in fact, it was hard for me to grasp why people would when I was very young. This got me a very honest reputation. I've since taught myself to lie and I'm great at it now, and I still have the reputation. I am almost always honest with people I care a lot about, though - I think sometimes they wish I'd lie more.
This reminds me of the line in Bunny by Mona Awad: “Telling her all manner of lies in answer to questions like ‘how was school?’ instead of whatever boring thing really happened.”

I've never read that and now I sure want to. Thank you!
