Being trustworthy means your story stays the same no matter who’s asking.

Trust is mostly consistency. A person who adjusts the account for each audience is not lying in any single moment, but they are building something that cannot hold weight, because eventually two audiences compare notes. Keeping one version costs you the small comforts of shading things, and buys you a reputation that does not need managing.

Think of one thing you have told two people two different ways this month. Pick the true version and let that be the one you keep. It is easier to remember, and it means you can stop keeping track.
