Is it normal that it's really hard for me to lie or hide something..

I'm wondering if it's normal to be able to do something that you probably shouldn't have done or not be able to lie about something when someone asks you and it literally eats you inside and squeezes your heart and ruins any kind of happiness you have if you don't tell them. I'm not talking like white lies or not telling someone that so and so is throwing them a surprise party. Deeper than that. Only because with the way most people are today, and everyone lies about things, it's kind of inevitable being a human being and all. But it almost seems as if it physically hurts me to do that and if I ever do something I think is wrong I have to tell that person immediately.

Like my boyfriend for example, a few years ago, this guy kissed me at a party and I felt it was my fault cause we were hanging out and I had to tell him immediately after it happened and I felt so terrible about myself and really sad. He really didn't even care but thinking about it still bothers me. It's the same thing with my regrets too, if I think about it, I will still start crying and get really depressed about something I did 5 years ago. Is it normal to, even though everyone lies, be honest about your own lies and mistakes. When most people I know think "what they don't know, won't hurt them". Maybe I just think of the way I want people to treat me, or maybe I'm all high and mighty with my self-righteousness. I don't know.

    I wouldn't want to hide in your house if someone was chasing me.

    It's quite easy for me to lie when I'm too tired to give an explanation. Anyway those days I have no more secrets to hide.

    I think it's pretty normal. It's your personality and that's just who you are.

    I am an honest individual and find lying very difficult. Often times I laugh because it sounds so ridiculous to me. If you ask me a question, I will usually give you a straight answer. I'm not fond of sugar coating things, but I may respond in a vague manner. I'm just not comfortable with lying and if you can't see it you really aren't paying attention.

    I find it hard to lie as well. Although, that's mainly because it's almost always nothing serious and it's for the sake of a joke. I can never hide things like amusement from my face, so people see through it straight away. I find it hard to hide any sort of immediate reaction to be honest, my face always gives me away.D: I wish I could have a poker face or something!

    As for serious lies, I think it's good to feel guilty about them. Probably just means you have a conscience. And even without the whole morality thing, lying is just a pain in the arse. Most of the time it isn't even worth the effort. You have to consistently say the same thing, without slipping up. Too much of a hassle, I prefer honesty. Blah, people complicate things too much sometimes.

      It's so weird that our brains develop a conscience. I just feel like so many people lie and even when others find out they're lying, they still won't admit it. It seems like it doesn't bother them at all. I wouldn't be able to live with myself.
