Recently there was a discussion among daughter and friends over tea and scones in our dining room. They were talking about whether you want people to be loyal and back you up whatever happens or if you want them to be honest and straight enough to tell you when you are being an idiot. I was invited to bring the very old persons perspective.
I was reminded of this by the monogamy thread on How to and thought about how we look at this with our choice in friends but also with partners.
So, do you want your friends to be loyal to a fault or should they be honest and straight with you even when it is uncomfortable?
Do you prefer to be straight with people when you don’t agree or do you back your friends by default?
What about your partner? Is it the same in an intimate relationship, with a significant other as with friends or do you require/offer more loyalty/honesty?
How does this relate to trust for you?
Is it honesty or loyalty that helps build trust for you or how does it work?
