Honesty
Honestly, when you really think about it, nobody is completely honest with anyone. There are plenty of things you'd like to say to someone, but never do. There are many times where you don't tell the whole story. Most of the time, we (humans) do this in order to not hurt someone's feelings. But you know what? People care too much about things they either can't control, or shouldn't care about in the first place. Because sometimes, you have to hurt someone to help them. Sometimes, you can't always be nice and joke about something you're actually serious about. Sometimes caring means not caring at times. So stop worrying about how you look, stop joking with your friend about them growing up and just tell them, and stop worrying about things you can't control. There's no point in thinking about something you can't help or fix. So stop making yourself unhappy. Just be honest - and whoever doesn't appreciate it can go fuck themselves.

It's hard to be totally honest like that, though. People will think you're rude/impolite/inconsiderate...
ReplyDeletePeople keep telling me I have to have a filter between what I think and what I say. People tell me that not everybody wants to handle the truth.
I'm torn between feeling sorry for these people and not wanting to lose them. Sure the truth hurts, but who does it hurt more, the teller or the receiver?
