      “The method of 'answer quickly and without thinking', a long staple in psychological research, may be doing many things, but one thing it does is make people lie to you and tell you what they think you want to hear,”https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/0956797619867939 …

      Some have said that honesty is our default mode, and that we have to work to be dishonest. But this is just not true. Telling people what they want to hear is our default mode; we have to work to be honest.

      Then why do little kids so often blurt out truths that adults don't want to hear?

      I expect we start off honest by default and then are socialized to become dishonest by default. People treat others nicer when they are lied to a little, so as we grow up we lie more and more.

          I think we get more interested in how we look as we enter sexual maturity, so we start lying to others and to ourselves a lot more, too. Before that, the benefits of self control are much smaller.
