I think a society without lying would have other means of maintaining the social interface layer. For instance, when queried about how they feel about you, people might say things like “I quite dislike you, but don’t have any plans on acting on it, so don’t worry about it”. In our world this would be a worrying thing to hear, but in the hypothetical, you could just go on with your day without thinking about it further.

We would also be perfectly used to it.
