How to not misspeak

I could use some advice

I always make sure to tell the truth and never lie to people. However, when someone asks me a question I always end up misspeaking or misrepresenting information anyway, even though I never have the intention to do so.

What is causing me to do this?

For example:

If someone asks me “did you do your laundry” and I didn’t but for some reason I end up saying “yes”, or “did the doctor get back to you” and he did but for some reason I say the exact opposite which is “no”.

I don’t wake up deciding that I’m going to lie to people, but why do I end up doing it? It’s really messed up

It’s really bothering me and I don’t know how to overcome it. Could anyone help?

Thanks

Do you lie about lots of things often? Like important things

@SW-User do you mind giving an example on an “important” thing? I want to make sure I answer your question right and not misspeak

@MyLegGuy2020 like maybe those times when you say yes about the laundry it's cause you don't want to be lectured about the laundry, but an important lie, like making up things all the time, getting you in trouble because of that, could be lies about your life etc if different

@SW-User Like what George Santos did? No. I’m always truthful about things that are going on in my life that important. I would never lie about things such as what I do for a living, my educational background, etc.
