I'm like this, but unfortunately, I've become a somewhat bitter person anyways. I'm just working to try and get back to a more neutral point of view. I don't function well as a optimist or pessimist, but as a realist.
Anyways, I can lie with a straight, smiling face with eye contact, if I can justify it in my own mind. Otherwise, I'm bound to blow my cover by laughing; not even necessarily in guilt. I seem to have an innate sense of guilt, that I've tuned it out. Thankfully, I still have some morals left; typically pertaining to not harming another person. With exception to, "What they don't know won't hurt them."
This is a habit probably originating from having to hide my beliefs and such things from my parents. Part of the problem is a sense of automatic misunderstanding - I tend to think people in general can't handle the truth, so I just don't tell them sometimes. In my experience, the truth hurts, and to the wrong people, people get scary when they're hurt. Best to just avoid conflict.
