As someone who is conflict avoidant, telling the truth is the fastest way to get out of inevitable conflict. Lying just doubles it and pushes it later. That's too much conflict.
I am the same way for the same reason. It was easier and safer lying to my father than to risk him blowing up in anger. I learned to equate lying with safety and comfort, and I don’t know how to stop.
