People lie because it's easier than telling a complicated truth, because it suits their aims, because they enjoy creating drama, because the truth would make them look bad, because they want the other person to feel good about themselves, and for lots of other reasons.
Try telling everyone nothing but your version of the pure, unvarnished truth for two weeks. Do that, and I bet you won't have to worry about anyone telling you lies anymore, because nobody will be talking to you at all.
Some types of lies need to be told, and I don't even mean just white lies. It's true that telling the 100% truth about everything all the time could hurt where you stand with people. I'm not saying it's ok to become a chronically lying scam artist either where everyone says about you "I don't believe one fucking word that comes out of this lying piece of shit's mouth". It's one of those things where you gotta find the right balance in the middle. But yeh, you can't tell the 100% truth to anyone anywhere anytime, cause that will fuck you up with people. Just find that happy medium.

That last paragraph is spot on. No one wants the truth.
