If I'm going to be honest

I always wonder why people say things like
*I'm not gonna lie* or
*If I'm going to be honest.*

It's as if they don't expect to be believed, otherwise.

Kick Me: A Life Game

From Games People Play by Dr. Eric Berne

The following is a brief description of the Life Game Kick Me from Games People Play by Dr. Eric Berne.

Thesis: This is played by men whose social manner is equivalent to wearing a sign that reads “Please Don’t Kick Me.” The temptation is almost irresistible, and when the natural result follows, White cries “piteously, “But the sign says ‘don’t kick me.’” Then he adds incredulously, “Why does this always happen to me?” (WAHM.). Clinically, the WAHM may be introjected and disguised in the “Psychiatry” cliché: “Whenever I’m under stress, I get all shook up.” One game element in WAHM comes from inverse pride: “My misfortunes are better than yours.” This factor is often found in paranoids.

If the people in this environment are restrained from striking at him by kindheartedness, “I’m Only Trying to Help You,” at social convention or organizational rules, his behavior becomes more and more provocative until he transgresses the limits and forces them to oblige. These are men who are cast out, the jilted and the job losers.
 
What kind of jerk?

Don't understand it at all.
 
Games People Play by Dr. Eric Berne. I've read that. Published 1964, if I remember correctly. In a list of Top 100 psychology books.
