I agree with your reasons why people lie. I think that people lie out of safety too. As a woman who solo travels, it's dangerous to tell people abroad that you're solo traveling. Sadly, it's easier to be taken advantaged of if you're a female solo traveler compared to if you're a woman traveling with other people.

Here, you want "lie" to be present tense. "Lied" makes it past tense. So we have "People lie for many reasons" instead.

Generally, the active voice is preferred over the passive voice. So here, we'd say "people tell lies" instead of "lies are told" - it's more clear and direct who you are referring to. With that being the case, you'd change it to "others tell small white lies" to be consistent with your original subject ("people").
