What makes people who wear their heart on their sleeve unattractive?

I wonder how come people don't appreciate those who share their feelings? Also why is it easier to get through life as a liar and fake than it is to just be yourself.

Don't fall into the trap of believing that! Being honest and open is my number one rule of survival. Nobody can misinterpret what I say, nobody can accuse me of telling tales, no one can guilt-trip me... once other people get this, life's a breeze! I'd examine the people around me, see what THEY'RE problem is, before I'd hurt myself by believing that lie! Take care of yourself, my friend!

I truly couldn't stand to be like that... being real gives you the real things in life in return... you get what you give! Take care!

OOOh thanks for reminding me how much freedom there is in remaining honest and true. I do know some folks who have to cover an awful lot of lies. I even have the burden of knowing those secrets and having to overlook them or not bring them up. Very hard to do as a honest person!

If someone were to ask me why I wear my heart on my sleeve, I'd have to ask back, "where the hell else am I suppose to wear it?" Because this is me. Take me as I am or leave me as I am because I'm not changing to suit anyone.

I like that attitude. It's hard for me to be so strong...as sometimes I get lonely in my convictions.

Because more people would rather hide their true self than have the world see their imperfections. They live in lala land where they think nothing could ever go wrong. Many people nowadays hide who they are because people are so quick to judge others in their wrong doings, but have either done it or are doing it and don't want anyone else to know. Being a fake and a liar is what makes people popular. People like you for what they see and not what they know. It's been this way for ages and probably will never change.

hmm I guess since I'm non-judgmental that makes it easier for me to open up to others. Hoping they won't judge me. Kinda naive of me though huh? haha. I have a hard time NOT being real with people, in turn I often feel like a misfit.
