Whew, hard to say. A few years ago, I would have answered with a resounding yes. For me, there was true and untrue, or right and wrong. I've become more cautious, less absolute. I quite like the following definition:

Truth-finding is a process in which people come closer and closer to reality, but without being able to reach or grasp it entirely.

How does it look for you?

I consider truth as an individual concept. It is what we build around our reality and what we believe in, and our reality is something we don't control.

We make it true. It’s a feeble concept, subject to deep manipulation, and it needs interpretation, so no, I don’t believe there is one truth, an absolute one. And I grew up bored to seek it. A lifetime wouldn’t be enough, and it is not worth my mental health.

Reading your answer, I don't have the impression that your opinion on truth has changed. It seems to me that you have just expanded your perspective to include the truth-finding process, which you recognise can be subjective, but you still see truth/reality as objective. I share this opinion too.
