Studies show that the average person lies several times a day. Some of those are biggies. “I’ve been faithful to you.” Others are par for the course. “No, your new dress looks good.” Some forms of deception aren’t exactly lies: comb-overs, nodding when you’re not listening. And then there are lies we tell ourselves; whether healthy self-esteem maintenance or serious delusions. In the end, it appears that we can’t handle the truth.
