    soul mirror, there should be a way you can adapt the negative aspect
    of lying and replace it with a positive one, so that when presented
    with a situation you feel you need to "lie and not show it" you can
    use this traits opposite! This will yield a similar intention, but
    give you a chance to creatively emply more of your positive elements!

    Perhaps you misunderstood. For one thing, I don't consider lying to
    be an inherently negative trait. To speak a falsehood is something
    that happens; whether or not that has a negative impact on myself or
    others has to do with my awareness, my intent, and the consequences
    of my actions, all of which can vary.

    And it sounds like you've found your own ways to deal with negative
    people. Undoubtedly that works for you in situations you encounter.
