I have been thinking alot about honestly lately. Sometimes it can be cruel and unnecessary and other times can gain you respect and solve problems. I am one of those people who just wants everyone to like me and everyone to get along no matter what. I guess I just don't want to be one of those people who just says whatever they think regardless of the consequences or other's feelings. I am constantly apologizing for something I said that I'm afraid might be taken wrong and I think it annoys people. I don't handle conflict very well and sometimes would rather "tell a little white lie" than cause any trouble. Then I go home and stew about my true feelings on the subject.
So lately, I've been more honest, in a tactful way. It's such a great feeling to actually let people see the real me.
The fact is, people are going to have conflict and have issues with others...even perfect little me...jk!!! And I can't fix it all. There's alot of freedom in that and perhaps it will deepen some of my relationships.
