When only part of the truth is told, it can be misleading or inaccurate, giving a false impression or leading to misunderstandings. It is important to be honest and provide the whole truth to avoid misinterpretations.

What is the difference between denial and lie?

There is none. To deny the truth is to lie and live it! Living a lie is denial and the state denial and living a lie is synonymous with telling a lie. Perhaps the only real difference is in the motive. To deny the truth can be motivated by a desire to avoid the harshness of the truth but still requires deception. While to lie maybe the consequence of denial and or intentional deception. To deny something often requires the omission of the truth while to lie is to to deny or contradict the truth. But a lie by omission is still a lie!
