Do you tell the truth?
There is no way to be certain just by asking. Someone who is lying would lie about telling the truth.The "Liar's Paradox" is that no one can rationally answer a question about the truth by saying "I am lying." This is clearly because if you are telling the truth, you say "I am telling the truth" and if you are actually lying (about lying), you would again say "I am telling the truth" (a lie).If you said you were lying, you would have to be telling the truth, but you're not because you are lying. This is similar to the double-negative paradigm ("He's not right...he's just not wrong").
What should you say when you lied to your girlfriend?
To be honest, telling the truth about the lie is the best thing to do, telling the truth versus lying even more will ONLY make it worse and if she was to leave you for example, it would be easier to get her back as you told her the truth and the feeling of her being angry will not last long versus you telling her a lie.
If Someone says that they always lie are they telling the truth Or are they lying?

If a chicken says that all chickens always lie is he telling the truth?
No, he is lying. If he were saying the truth, then, in theory, as he is a chicken, he would be lying. Then, he cannot tell the truth. So, he is lying. But, if he is lying, then all chickens say the truth, and he cannot be lying. The key lies in the word "all". He is lying that ALL chickens always lie, therefore not necessarily all chickens say the truth. It could be that some chickens always lie. The truth does not have to be the opposite. Therefore, he is lying that chickens always lie, and the truth is that "some chickens always lie".

Paradox meaning of "Everything I say is a lie"?
The statement is paradoxical because it can not be true. If everything that you said was really a lie, then you would not be able to say, "Everything I say is a lie," because that would be a true statement. Therefore it can never be truthfully said. You could say, "everything that I say is a lie," and be lying, but that statement is still false at that point because you're lying while saying it, which means that you can tell the truth.

How can you be honest and never lie?
Well. "Lying" and "not telling the truth" are not always the same thing. "Lying is where you tell a person something with the purpose to deceive them. You can lie and still tell the truth. Here's an example. Obviously, if I told you the box was red and it really was red and I knew it was red, then I would be telling you the truth and not lying. If I told you the box was blue but it was really red but I thought it was blue, then I would be telling you the truth but I would not be lying. Now if I told the box was blue but it was really red and I knew it was red, then I would be both lying and not telling you the truth. And if I told you the box was blue but it was really red but I thought it was blue, then I would be lying but I would be telling you the truth. To answer your question, lying and being honest are the same things.
