Sometimes yes, because I do not want to admit it to myself first. So then when another person is pressing me for the truth, it seems as though there are two people pressuring me.

Decisions that require quick resolutions involving high attrition of resources through brusque admission, invariably involves having to mull and groan over it later.
Avoiding this scenario altogether is preferable at the cost of another decision which could be detrimental to self preservation or the subject matter under discussion, including loss of trust and integrity that could be construed as perceived or real.
Knowing when to admit the truth is a pre-requisite to many social engagements. Certain traits of autistic savants and high functioning individuals are known to have difficulties in withholding the truth when presented, much to the chagrin of politically correct society.
The eternal well spring of truth is rarely singular in attribution, varying from individual to individual, and is seldom a simple neat issue comprising of one set of principles that is absolute and all encompassing.
It then falls to conclude that admitting to a truth to satisfy all parties concerned that is undefined unequivocally and ironically without room for discrepancy, can become draining.
Disputes between belief systems would have otherwise been long resolved, clearly evident in communication breakdown of husband and wife, parent and child, corporation mergers, warring nations, religious factions...
Self admittance is obscured by facts that seem convincing at the time of consideration, progressing from realising the truth to admitting the truth is a convoluted difficult process, similarly no easy task.
Once the truth is known, most persons whose upbringing and disposition, as with an autistic savant, determines the likelihood of admitting to a truth, if not the truth, being universal truths such as one belief, one god, one way.
Admitting to a universal truths like declining notions of ultimate divine beings or the acceptance of existence of a one true god, is a long drawn out process time can only tell.
Human relationships can be no less dissimilar, but in this day and age, quickly takes after McDonald's in transient relationships from YAnswers, job contracts to supposedly life long marital arrangements.
One can only speculate if the admission of truth as a piece of a larger puzzle , suggests something lacking in contemporary systems of thinking, ethics and other decision making models on maintaining worthwhile relationships.

Yes and no. I'm not a very good liar, but there are times when I'll keep the truth about something(usually it's about how I'm feeling) all to myself because there have simply been too many times in my life when it seemed as though no one was listening. So I suppose, when it comes down to it, that for me it all depends on who is asking me for the truth.

Most of the time it is hard for me to tell the truth. But in the end I do, but there are times I believe that a lie will save us all.

Easier said than done!!! But it is always better to be safe than sorry too. So I prefer the truth even though it takes a little more effort.

Nope. The truth and I are very close friends usually. I learned this as a young child.

No, I prefer the truth. It's too hard to keep up with a lie.

Usually, no. . .especially if it's admitting my own wrong doing. However, if it's a truth that could harm someone. . .then it is certainly more difficult for me to stomach.

I smile when I'm angry, I cheat and I lie. I do what I have to do to get by. But I know what is wrong and I know what is right, and I'd die for the truth in my secret life.

Actually, it takes more out of me to lie - then you have to remember the story, keep the details straight, make sure someone will back your story up, and try to keep a straight face!
Whew! That's exhausting. It's also why I don't do it.
