ALWAYS!
I would not class it as lying though! I believe that sometimes the person who is not being totally honest is not always aware that they are withholding. Sometimes I know that I feel a certain way but I feel frozen and find it too difficult to express it, for many reasons. Sometimes I would express the feeling after I have dealt with it. This is all dependent on what it is that I am feeling. If the feeling or thought is just too much then I may just continue to supress it!
We all have indivdualistic ways of coping and until someone is ready to undo their dysfunctional coping mechanism the people that they are close to may always feel like they are lying, as you put it.
