Seriously try being totally honest to everyone you care about and see how far that takes you

Humans long ago developed lying as a way to improve our social cohesion, it's biology  

 

Now you just shifted the topic, I asked how being honest was selfish now you're seemingly trying to make it about something else.

It's totally related

As I have already explained alleviating your guilt by confessing is putting the burden squarely on your loved one's shoulders who now has to deal with this terrible news, it's a selfish act to alleviate your own guilty conscience , leave your loved one in peacefully ignorance and spare them the suffering, and learn to carry your own guilt, sparing others the pain
