Thing is, not all facts are true. And once you think you’re being lied to, there’s little chance of being convinced otherwise.

That seems to be contrary to the standard definition of “fact”. Perhaps you meant to say:

People aren’t always right when they state something as fact.

Okay, to be pedantic, “not all things presented as fact are true”

Something someone claims as a fact could actually be a lie. Eg, “72% of statements people make on the internet are false” is false, but sounds like a fact to those unaware.
