well said! i always tell the truth and what i think about certain things and the will argue with me saying thats not what they want to hear. if you want an opinion you better be ready for what is going to be said good or bad. no one now understands honesty nowadays. people only want to hear what they want to hear.

Well if you want honestly you are not good at spelling as you have a sentence “I thing” which should be “I think”. How do you like that Mr Honest Feedback Giver

Great insights. Our egos spend great effort and time building up our stories so it’s not easy for them to hear truth. One way to define wisdom is the increasing ability to recognize our own ego.

In my own experience, I’ve found that self-honesty is not easy but can be developed.

Thanks, great post.

Eduard,

I greatly appreciated your post along with the feedback you have received thus far. I believe in being honest and people being honest with me. For me, self-confidence plays a key role in being able to have the ability to hear honesty from another person about me or about something I have done to hurt their feelings. For me, it is about taking everything with a grain of salt, evaluating the information to determine if I need to make a change within myself verses taking on everything someone tells me as a need to change. Differentiation between the two is the key, being confident and being open to hearing honesty is also fundamental to growing. Some people play the victim role and are not able to hear honesty due to their life experiences, regardless how the honesty is presented. I believe it is a case by case situation. Working on changing ourselves is the best journey and part of that is based on critical honesty from friends and family while at the same time liking myself and taking everything in stride.
Thanks,
Trudy

Eduard –

Intriguing post! I think that delivering a truthful observation can be very powerful. It is important to give feedback appropriately. In my experience, people find it easier to understand feedback when it is backed up by clear examples of the behavior or issue. I also think that if you are going to be honest, you need to be there to help the person understand the issue clearly, develop a plan for change and support them through that. Otherwise we can get into a pump and dump mentality of offloading and then running away. So if you are brave enough to tell the truth, stick around to help change the world.

Thanks!

Phil
