It doesn't matter if you do it because you think the actual truth to be bad for you or because you genuinely believe whatever falsehood you're spouting, you are still lying.
Is it? Truth is very subjective, just because a statement isn't true doesn't mean it's a lie.
Either way, the statement is indicative of a person who has a poor grasp of reality.
