Always. If they're a friend, they'll forgive, aid, and/or console. Why hide?
If they don't, they weren't your friend and giving up your integrity wouldn't have been worth it.

But that doesn't mean I won't lie to a specific friend to preserve a promise to them.

Lying in and of itself is not wrong. It depends on the motivation.

And all that said, I have no doubt I slip up every once in a while.
