Why is honesty so difficult at times?

Question

***just wondering***

Answer 1

sometimes people are so used to lying that they do not even realize they are lying. i used to have that problem. i created this fantasy world where everything fit exactly the way i wanted. The world ran according to my thoughts, my beliefs, my principles. I could not be harmed at all. To make that fantasy world transition into reality, I have lied several times. Until finally, someone who cared about me decided to help me and forced me to stop lying. I finally now catch myself before lying and I am able to prevent it. So I guess some people lie because they do not want to hurt other ppl's feelings, but also some lie because of psychological matters/needs

Answer 3
