There is no person who has not been caught in a lie at some point in his life, some of us more and some of us less, but in the end we all lie in one way or another.

You are a truthful person
According to your answers, you are a person who values honesty and transparency, and you are not afraid to speak directly and say what is on your mind, even if it is difficult or may even hurt you or others. You believe that the truth has a power that lies cannot match, and this is what allows your relationships to be built properly and based on respect, mutual understanding and of course - honesty. However, remember that sometimes the truth can hurt a lot, so try to convey your messages in a kind and thoughtful way. Continue on your way and show everyone that you can live well without lying.
You lie from time to time, but only when you really have to
You are a person who understands the importance of honesty, but also knows that there is a time and place for everything - for the truth and for white lies. According to your answers, you are a very realistic person who understands that life is not only black or white, but remember to maintain this balance and not exaggerate lies that may hurt others. Strive for honesty to maintain harmony in your relationships, as it is the best foundation for healthy relationships and friendships.
Be careful not to grow your nose!
You are a bit of a liar, but don't worry - everyone tends to twist the truth from time to time. You have a very creative mind and know how to adapt to problematic situations, but remember that although these abilities are effective in some situations, in other cases they can harm you and your relationships. Try to use your creative mind in more positive ways, like writing short stories, and remember that sometimes the truth is a bit hard to deal with, but in the end it is the one that will lead you to the desired results in the long run - the lie is always revealed sooner or later.
