I don’t know if modesty, morality, or imposter syndrome keeps us in check, but lying is harder for us than we’d like to admit. Of course, there are always little lies, like whether I’ve mastered coding (no) or whether I was actually sick yesterday (also no). But the big ones are the ones most of us just avoid.
