How to use "Tell the truth" in context?
When we are lying, our brains are working harder than when we are telling the truth. We have to use more muscles, create more lies, and generally work harder to keep up the act. People who are good at lying generally have better lying skills and faster processing. In a study, people who had to tell a fake story about themselves were found to have raised heart rates and had more activity in their brain's amygdala, which is associated with fear and anxiety. This suggests that it is harder for us to tell the truth when we are nervous or unsure of ourselves.
