so im at work putting in yet more over time i have had a day off in a week lol anyway i was wondering..

you know how everyone wants people to be honest,but when they meet someone who really is honest they run the other way and run from the honest person?whats the deal with that?

i always thought it was good to be honest so people you know knew thay your word was good or better then gold..

maybe im the weird one for being honest all the time?lol

there are too many folks wrapped up in lies that when honesty smackes them in the face, they run because faced with their own truths is more than they can handle. JMO

There is a fine line between saying something because of honesty, and saying something that is just plain mean in the NAME of honesty.

Some people can't handle the truth........they've been living in their own lil world too long, and the truth is either scary, or hurts too much.

THE TRUTH?

YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH !

That's true too.

One must also learn that not everyone needs to know everything about you all at once......... Some things are best left unsaid until someone knows you better.

It's a little hard to know for sure, what you are talking about.

Some people claim to be "honest" but really, the only "truth" they know.......is their own.

Giving your "opinion" without being asked, especially when it is harsh is not necessarily being honest........

well like i keep my mouth shut unless im asked about my opion b.c ppl who know me will always know im always give an honest answer but ill say it as nicely as possible but i figured being an honest person id find an equally honest person to talk to maybe date i guess my hopes are waaaay to high!

I was gonna say something similar to that....

Its better to tell people what they want to hear in order to get what you want.

oh i know theres a line between being malicious and being asked to give an honest statement

There is nothing wrong with wanting someone who is honest........but others being honest with you also involves them trusting you, you must ask yourself if you have earned their trust??

Whether or not you are willing to date someone who is not as honest as you'd like them to be is up to you..........but, many people view honesty in different ways, believe it or not.

I personally would rather someone to tell me they are uncomfortable with answering a question, than to lie to me.....but I can't make people do anything.

Anyhoo, what was I saying??

Well...I would say that " great minds...." line....but mine isn't all that great....lmao

That is called manipulation.......... Of course, after dating a while, one would be able to see that on their own......

"YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH"

Most people live in their own little reality bubble and don't REALLY want the truth, they want the "truth as they know it"
