Why do so many people have trouble being honest? Is it because they are a coward or trying to protect you from the truth?

I would much rather hear the truth from someone then a bold face lie or for that matter even the little white lies that are so easy to tell. Being honest doesn’t mean hurting peoples feelings. I have met some people who say “I am very open and honest” but they don’t even think before they open their mouth. They pass judgement too fast without really thinking or seeing the truth.

I remember meeting a guy once and he was so critical of every move or word I said. I found this such a turn off. As if he was perfect himself. But, I hung out with him a little bit to see if he would chill out and just relax. This never happened and that was the last I saw of him. Even my closest friends and family don’t get away with this behavior. No problem if they are giving their opinion on something or provide feedback.

I’m very honest but never try and hurt anyone’s feelings. Some things are just best left alone and just observed. There is a right and wrong way to be honest.
