Well, I used the word "always" to make sure noone can argue I sometimes tell the truth. I am not sure I understand your point.

Yes, but using "always" makes it a non-paradox. If you are someone who sometimes tells the truth you might have also said this sentence, which would make it (the sentence) simply "not true" instead of a paradox.

To disprove an universal quantification you need just a counter example of one instance, hence you are introducing an easy weakness
