Is Too Much Honesty Deadly?

You know, honesty told to liars is a bad thing. Honesty told to those who can relate is empowering and releasing. I worked with a guy who was a former pastor, he worked at Wal-Mart and he would tell the people inspecting the electronics department what wasn't being done to keep up with security. It was telling of the people and many of them didn't like it because it caused them to do things right. For better or worse honesty and telling the truth will ensure that you never have to remember a lie.

In relationship one must be honest with each other. It is really important to be honest. It will make the relationship harmonious and lasts. However, there are some limitation too wherein you cannot tell everything to your partner everything. Some are really personal that you alone should know. This is respect as well to privacy of both.

It is. People don't like to hear the truth. I had chances to tell girlfriends how that dress didn't fit them but they were upset, many are not even my friends anymore. I'd like a girl to tell me something is not beautiful in me instead of let me walk out like that, it's what a sister would do. I guess most people are blindly to compliments.

too much honesty is good for nothing, people use us and even make fun of us. They even try to get the information they want ,by asking us too many questions or some tricky ones if we refuse to answer as they know that we are honest and cant speak lies so we should be aware of such people.

It could be. First of all, in a really dishonest environment, it can backfire, as it could be seen as a threat, or as a danger as well... like if he's honest, and he knows everything, he might put us in danger. Also, some people mistake honesty for being extremely rude. Or more the other way around. There are some people who state that "oh, I'm just sincere and honest, and I tell my mind, so I'm not doing anything wrong", but they just use this as an excuse to mock people's style or say that XY is ugly or so. Sometimes, between rudeness and honestly is a really thin line, but manouvering on that line could upset people, and then they are going to be seen as a public enemy for rudeness.

They say honesty is the best policy, however that is not always true. Sometimes you do have to reframe yourself from being completely honest, otherwise you could hurt someone's feelings and do a lot of damage that maybe be unreversable.

we should always try and be open and honest, but also recognise the feelings of others. It may take more effort to consider the best way of presenting things, but it's worth it.

All I am going to say to this is, being honest you don't have waste memory space in your mind for them, so you don't get caught in them by telling another one that will require to remember, and the circle becomes larger.. Being honest, how much more room for memory one can have to remember special moments or make special moments to be able to remember.. I don't care what others think of me.. I don't want to be lied to, so I don't.

Yes, being too honest can be brutal. One should learn to couple it with being considerate and sensitive to other people's feelings. One is not free to say anything just to be honest because our rights have limitations most especially when it concerns other people's safety and integrity.

yeah it is deadly when one is too honest. there are people out there who will take out all information of your life and plan on you and you won't even know anything. One should not be too honest. Thanks for sharing and have a wonderful day ahead.

If we have our own goal in life, perseverance will push us to the to reach it. Someone who is aiming for something, it will make boost their inner-self to be optimistic. There is no way that they will remain stagnant for the rest of their lives. So it is trough for being honest, it has the same principle.

being honest with the ones you love is definitely right,theres nothing wrong with it,except that,if your being honest with your feelings is that you are implying different meanings.sometimes we tell what we feel because we want our significant others to do the same thing.and its kind of annoying for them.they know when you are just being honest or demanding.

For me yes. Sometimes being too honest can lead to catastrophic results. It's because if you're too honest a lot of people will take advantage of you. I mean, they'll use you and your weakness to get what they want and they'll keep on doing that. Being honest is very good but it could be bad too. Telling the truth has always been the right thing to do but sometimes people need to lie to make others happy or to protect the people they love. It's just a matter of putting everything in equilibrium. You gotta know when to tell the truth and when to just keep it by yourself.

It is great to be honest with yourself, this kind of thinking could prove very useful becouse it will help you improve your personality by correcting your flaws. When it comes about other people we should not always be very honest, especially if you believe that the truth you are about to say could hurt somebody; and if that person isn't aware of your good intentions it could take it as an insult. So be very carefull what truths you chose to say and to whom.
