Honesty

Do you think you're an honest person?

 

I think so but then again that's my perception of it....

 

I honestly want a smoke.

 

Also


Do you think we all lie to an extent, even the smallest lies, just to get through the day?

 

Only if I am lieing to myself about something that has upset me.

 

Note- not to others because that could harm them.

 

What about the harm you do to yourself through lying?

 

I don't completely fabricate a lie out of nowhere when I lie to myself. I don't know maybe these lies do hurt me and I don't realize it.

 

I think that everyone lies to themselves alittle, like when you tell yourself that you look skinner when you lose five pounds but don't look apparent......

 

I agree em


I think we all lie to ourselves, even in the slightest way

But
Im wondering....what if, one day, years from now, when time causes a blur between the lie and the reality, what if you start believing the lies?

 

i'm a pretty honest person, i do live by an honor code...but yea, i do mis-represent the truth every now and then - wouldn't call them lies straight out, but definately not the whole truth, omit things that i deem omitable in a circumstance.

 

I would never allow for my little lies to become so big that I would believe them, unless it would help me in some way.

 

I hardly ever say things that are not the truth.

Just i often omit things from the whole truth. I keep a few things back, which i thinks only sensible to do, and i wouldnt class this as lying.

I also use words often to try and make the truth appear a certain way to people. Again i wouldnt call this dishonesty.

So, i guess im honest

Xx

 

You know what, and I'm applying this to myself as well, I think most of us are more deceptive than we really think.

 

yep. it could explain why i have like no friends

 

you have no friends because you are honest?

 

im not an honest person but at least i am honest about that.

 

it's not just that i'm honest, i'm a shitty liar as well

 

So, because you cant lie you cant have friends??

I'm confused.

 

i'm usually quite honest. i do tell white lies sometimes to avoid hurting peoples' feelings, but not when it counts. although sometimes i won't be straightforward with a person when they've upset me, i tend to avoid confrontational situations so that could count i guess...

shit apparently i'm not really all that honest, nevermind.
