Being honest, that is, being a trustworthy person free from lies or bad intentions, is one of the qualities most valued by everyone. When you perceive that a person is not honest, you feel distrust and tend to distance yourself from the other person.
When someone is honest, other people know that their intentions are good, that they will not lie to get some kind of benefit and that they will not do something that could harm us. Ultimately, honest people convey confidence.
