No, you don't.
I'm sure at some point you said, "I have to go to the bathroom" and you did.
g-day!

If you had put a Full stop , instead of a question mark I would say you are telling the truth. Since you have not done that I tend to give the benefit of doubt to you and I will say you donot lie always but you do many times.
But bear in mind that a Lie or a truth is also the perception of the other persons with who you are interacting..

You'd be the one to be your own lie detector, don't you think? Or has it gotten really out of hand, is THAT what you think?
No matter... as long as no one is hurt (a tough one to call) it really doesn't matter. You just have to face facts, I guess--c'mon, laugh and face a few facts--and answer your own question. I don't know any way in the world that I could, especially after seeing the "details." If you seriously doubt yourself that much, sit down with the ole' pen and paper and make a list: the truth, the middling, and the lie.
That should give you an idea about where any work that may need doing may need to start. It's all up to you.

Well, both of those questions are different, so one of them is a lie, and one of them is the truth. This answers your question.

people Lie because they are hiding something...it's one thing to Lie to others but it's another to lie to yourself

Always, by the sound of it - except when you say: 'I always lie'.

Now I have reason to doubt you. Now I have reason not to trust you. Now I have reason to be suspicious of your motive and intent.
Absolutes such as "always" (never, etc.) can usually be disproved to some extent, so no, you don't. if you told someone your true age -- ever -- you have not always lied.

I think that self referential statements cannot be assigned a truth content. Therefore it is possible that all of your previous statements could be lies provided that they were not self referential, that is, not a statement describing itself. I see no paradox here.
