"Peoples intentions with you Their intentions with others What they seek How they seek it Like if I'm going out to bang, there's people I tell because that's how I run this show. Does that make sense? " Yes I think we're honest in that we try our best to be clear about our intentions in a tactful way. I tend to take what other people say with a large pinch of salt though. | |||

" So my question is, in this world is it better to 'join em' keep most stuff to myself rather than being honest and expecting the same in return? (The disappointment of thinking someones honest and being proven wrong is tiring for my mind currently) Are there any truth people out there that have swapped sides and feel better for it? " I think there’s a subtle difference between being honest and not speaking up. ie someone in a group of people says something to which you could contribute, but decide not to. You’re not being dishonest, but not entirely honest either. I’m like you - a fundamentally honest person and if someone asks me a direct question I cannot bring myself to lie. It just feels wrong. But I can avoid answering questions when I’m not specifically required to answer, which I would do if I felt my contribution would hurt someone’s feelings or is otherwise unnecessary. I wish more people were more honest. I’ve been on the receiving end of discovering someone has lied to me and it’s horrible. | |||

"I've been discussing honesty recently, which has lead me to a question. I live my life by being totally honest with absolutely everyone, about absolutely everything. Super black'n'white, if anything I can't lie. I'm basically Jim Carrey in Liar Liar, which I'm cool with, what a film. But since navigating this world I've come across a lot of people I think are great, honest people and then as time goes by you see some little cracks.

"I value honesty extremely highly. I am shit at lying and it makes me feel so guilty when I have done so. It's a trait I cannot stand in others and if I know someone has lied to me I usually cut all ties as the trust has been destroyed. The one exception is that I keep my Fab life from my kids - I would love to be honest about it but it would almost certainly make them feel uncomfortable. " I usually do cut'n'run when someone is proven to be dishonest, but sometimes it's hard to see, they're good at covering their lies. I'm talking about people within my fab life, who I tell everything to, and with the sign up to hanging out with me, I always ask the same of them, but then they start to fuck it up and it's really quite sad. | |||

No. But it’s made me more careful about who I open up to! | |||

"If I’m talking to those closest to me, I’ll be truthful. If I care about the friendship or relationship I have with them, I require honesty. Other people don’t need to know every about me, so I don’t over share but I also don’t lie. I just keep things simple. " Maybe thats it, I go in with 'lets be honest' but maybe I care too much for the friendship and it's not the same on the other end so they feel the need to lie? You may have solved it Sir | |||

"I like honesty, also find it hard to lie. And on here I don't see any reason why I should lie. I've got nothing to hide at all. I'll be open about meets. I'll say I have one and what day to others but won't give names etc. I would like the same back. But I've found some will say I'm the only one they are seeing in an attempt to get me to only see them. But it's often quite apparent they are lying and thats a red flag on many levels. I'll also be honest for sexual health reasons. I expect the same. I thinks it's a basic expectation on both sides at least and if thats broken wheres the trust. Liars will make me withdraw from this life and give up bothering. And like you say it's quite sad when they fuck it up. I also hate the dishonesty of someone that doesn't have the balls to say they are not interested anymore but won't end it because they don't want to appear the arsehole and there's someone else in the mix. " Amen to this, for sexual health reasons too, I'm all about protecting those I care about. I've found previously people will keep you dangling on the lies for as long as they can until they've nailed the next best thing. Chumps. | |||

"I think you mean more about being open than just simply honest. Honesty is answering truthfully when asked a question, without trying to hide or deceive. Openness is offering truths without having to be asked. You need to be honest to be open, but you don't need to be open to be honest. I'm honest, I am only open with those I feel I can be, so varied levels of open depending on who you are. A large part of it is down to being socially shy. I don't go around throwing details and random information, it's a none deceptive need to know. I am open about trust and intentions, but I won't share every little detail. I'm an over thinker, not necessarily an over sharer. Though at times I ramble on so much over shares sort of pop out and drop in involuntary. I'm not quite sure I answered the question but definitely think you mean more open than actually honest. " After reading this, I agree, it's open. | |||

"There is a huge difference in honesty and openness and not sharing isn't actually being dishonest ... To be fair humans lie and it's a natural part of life: cheque is in the post, you look nice etc. and they're just harmless little lies that either protect us or protect another's feelings We lie to ourselves daily: another biscuit won't hurt, I look shite, nobody likes me etc. These aren't as harmless and until we can be honest with ourselves I think we will always lie. Are we actually even open with ourselves? It's the lies that actually will hurt people that are the biggies, and have a habit of escalation, that lead to us getting into life messes that are awful ... " I agree . Honesty isn't all it's cracked up to be either. There are some occasions in life when lying is actually to be recommended I'd say. | |||

"I'm always very honest with those who deserve my trust and honesty but there's a difference in being open and honest and using it as a big stick. I used to know someone who claimed she couldn't tell lies but then she would be very indiscreet and tell complete strangers very private things that friends had shared with her. Every time she claimed it was just how she was, all I could think was "what an idiot". She was trying to make out she was so much better than everyone else by being honest but in doing so had alienated so many people." This person sounds like a bad egg. | |||

"It's not lying that hurts me. More the way things are handled. The little doubts that start creeping in. The rather irksome thing is, when I'm lied to, I start believing that maybe if I was better, less me? Well maybe they wouldn't have to lie. So I experience hurt, I ramble to make sense of it. Then there's a flash of anger and then I think - I should be better. Try and move past it because I can live with my hurt and don't want to burden the others. It's kind of crap how small they can make me feel. Such an emo. " That struck a very hard chord | |||

Just interested ... " All my friends know I'm on here. Of course all my partners know. I'm not even sure I or they would call it alternative to the life I lead in general. My family amd boss also know. Though that's less through a straight choice as they'd probably prefer not to know, but I refused to let the ex hold it over my head that he could "ruin my life" | |||

I'm not ashamed to admit I cried so I'm going to reply properly when it won't make me teary eyed. That feeling of being smaller, of having to change who you are because you're not enough/okay? It's awful. And sadly lying can remind you of that. | |||

"Think there can be a fine line between being honest and being rather too blunt. It can come across as abrasive and rude. Plus I think when people search out dishonesty they kind of find it. Because how I feel about something can change, that doesn't mean I was dishonest initially. Plus I'm totally dishonest when the kids ask where the chocolate went and blame it on the other half. " Yes, that's an important thing to remember. People are fluid things, as is life. Things change and that's okay. More than. It's fantastic that people grow, change, learn etc. I think that fibs (such a cute word) are normal. But being dishonest is different to changing your mind/things changing. Or wanting to snaffle some well deserved chocolate. | |||

"I have trust issues so it’s all a bit complex. Tell me something that doesn’t sit well with me that you’ve done in the past and I’ll forever think you’re shady. That’s it, you’ve tainted yourself in my eyes and I’ll not trust you. All because of them wanting to be honest with me. I tend to overthink things. Why did they do that, why wouldn’t they do that to me? How can I trust them to be honest and open with me if they weren’t open and honest in the past? It’s a ball ache. So yes I appreciate honesty and openness but there ARE some things I just don’t want to know. " So much this. I forgive but don't forget, I'd love to give a second chance, but I'll be in fear that they would do whatever cuntish thing they did in the past, to me. It's easier to have a one shot rule and cut ties once trust has been broken than try to rebuild that trust with playdoh | |||
