does anybody else notice the lack of honest sincere communication between people is destroying the fabric of humanity? instead of being honest with each other, political correctness,fear of pissin someone off, or being worried what someone else thinks about you seems to stop people from being who they are & expressing themselves in an honest way.
i've been practicing open minded honest communication with everybody now for the past three years, i feel better for doing it and it has become habit now. in the process of doing so i see just how much the majority of the world dont communicate or want to. and as a result-divorce,neglect,stupid fights over petty things,all because someone didnt say ouch when their toes got stepped on, instead they stuff it,resent it,and end up angry and bitter at the end. it does make appreciate the few i come across that do and i respect it greatly in those who do

no

There is a lack of communication AND consideration. Honesty has in many places taken the place of manners,which I dont think is a good thing. The english language has MANY synonyms and too many ways to say any one thing to make it necessary to use hurtful words to do it.

Hmmm.....many jobs are have a very defined code of conduct, you have to be careful how you interact or what you say. You cannot exactly "tell off" one of your co-workers because they have repeatedly annoyed you. You could lose your job!!!

I always want honesty and if someone cannot be honest... then I don't them em...

Honesty scares some people away. The ones I find that cannot accept honesty have a lot to hide, and use the lack of honesty ( avoiding the truth or out right lies.) to keep things as such. Sadly, they cannot communicate well nor do they have respect for themselves much less anyone else. In my soul searching and honest and direct approach to life I have learned that honey in the pot helps as long as it is not covering the honesty but enhancing the use of it.

im not sayin be a jerk to people im sayin sincerity of feelings and honest communication can prevent so much

I agree

yes some people are..less then honest but some are always honest i prefer being always honest..

Not me... I am not scared... Either, I have to accept it or kick the bucket and say get lost... 2 simple solutions...

i just notice more and more the lack of it, but i must say the real friends that i do have respect me because they know i wont blow sunshine up their a$$, i'm polite but if they ask i tell them..simple....and they know where i stand, and i know where they stand..no miscommunications

I would rather want to hear an honest answer from someone be it good or bad, than someone misleading me or hiding something from me.

personaly if i do something that bothers someone i'd rather have them tell me right off the bat, then i know and have consideration for their feelings. if they dont how am i supposed to know?

Being political correct doesn't mean that you can't be honest with each other. It's just using less offensive words when you communicate.

I live by this mantra too and my true friends appreciate me for having a straight forward personality.

I also find it disturbing when I say, "No thank you" or "I don't like ... this/that ...” etc, that the response is ... "Why are you so mean?"

Since when is a polite 'no thanks' or 'that isn't for me' being mean? A person doesn’t get their way so the other person is mean?

Since all of the politically correct/warm and fuzzy stuff was adopted, it really caused people to become "soft". We are no longer required to man/woman-up or take responsibility for our actions. There seems to always be an easy way out, or excessive litigation, or cry me a river excuse.

I love the rolling your eyes here....

Thanks!

Just one of those little buggers didn't seem to capture my emotion and disgust!

I am uber annoyed by idea of whiney people and I needed at least
9 rolling eyes to express that feeling! but ... 10 would have been too many!
