Suddenly think that no person in this world who never being a liar. If we give equality value to all the feeling we feel, we will realize that we often lie at least for ourselves. What i mean 'equality' here is positive and negative stand equal, positive not always good and negative not always bad. In general we can feel 5 feeling, anger, sadness, disgust, fear and enjoyment. Happiness is everyone's goal, example in your birthday you will get the message "happy birthday, i hope your dream more closer to you" , when you get married "congratulation for both of you, happily ever after", look happiness is totally our goal and because of it everyday we trying to be happy. When we start add the "trying" word, we start to lie without realizing it. Lying is never easy especially lying to yourself.

When you sad - just feel it, when you angry - it's okay to explode it, when you don't want meet someone - don't meet them, you don't need look happy or feeling okay every time. You don't need to pretend to be strong. Be honest, and i call it self care. The real "strong" mean for me, like when i touch cockroach, i never feel fear anymore. It's honest. Maybe for now we need to find the real feel of every feeling and stop lying. Good luck!
