How Truthful Are You? - Page 5

Well I have been told that I am brutally honest and with the field that I am studying now (Psychology) honesty is up there. Yes feelings may get hurt but that is mostly temporary. Lies tend to have more damaging consequences, so why lie? I always want people to be honest with me too.

I got Honest - you tell it like it is

People may not believe me but that is okay because I really don't care if you believe me or not...

P.S. I wasn't always this honest by the way but my life has changed a lot and I have become who I am now.

You Truthful How

I'm quite honest myself too, which often creates problems. People don't like to hear others criticize what they do or how they behave, even if is them asking for a judgement most of the times.
Usually, I divide humanity in two big categories: people I don't care of (An overwhelming majority) and people that mean something for me. The second category doesn't include only friends or close people but also people I don't know very well but that I find nice or interesting. The first category is the one that deserves to hear polite lies, always accompanied by a fake smile, while with the others I'm usually honest even if it means having a fight.
I like people being straight and direct with me so I make a point to behave in the same way: if somebody will feel hurt because of that, is probably because they are used to be told only what they want to hear.

Yes the saying the truth hurts is true but I find that the lie is much more damaging at times and as I previously said, the truth may hurt for a bit but in the end it doesn't as much....a lie however can have serious consequences.
