When you get down to it, the sooner you come to the realization that denial and or dishonesty are both immensely wasteful, especially from the viewpoint that time is the ultimate currency…the sooner you realize that conversely the best way to “spend” that time would be to simple BE, honest.

Due to interactions with other persons or entities that may seek to exploit your honesty, it may be prudent to not expose yourself by releasing data to be consumed by said entities, which is an understandable survival mechanism, however you can achieve the same outcome whilst making the choice to NOT be dishonest or disingenuous.
