Social maladjustment.
Being able to tell lies is an important social skill. Just as important as the ability to ask for help, or refuse.

This may be painful, but it will eventually be beneficial – the pus will come out, and your life will be healthier. You will become much bolder, as truthfulness often requires courage. There are many advantages. The main thing is not to confuse truthfulness, as the inability to tell a lie, with “truthfulness”, as the feeling that you simply have to express your opinion on any occasion. There are many situations when it is much better to remain silent than to climb with your truthful opinion.
