It all depends on lots of things.
I'm about the most understanding type personality there is, I'm empathetic to a fault. It gets me hurt but it's just who I am and will always be. Because of that, I tend to not think badly of people for things that are basically commonly human.
I think there is a difference between lying to further ones self somehow and lying as a protective emotional move, complex relationships and things like that. Some people are con artists so lying is a way of life.
If someone comes to me with true honesty, I'm butter, because I automatically put myself in their place and all kinds of understanding and empathy takes over. I may not like it, it may hurt but I tend to get caught up with their position instead of my own. It is not a bad way to live your life, you just have to watch being taken advantage of. I also have a marvelous BS detector.
