Is it really too much to ask?

Honesty.

It is quickly becoming a scarce commodity when it should actually be standard operating procedure.

I just don't get it.

I suppose I am simply naive.....
 
Thanks, TWB.

You are too cute.

:D


Pssst....guess who is getting screwed over again?


:p

Just honest. :D

I agree with him! Don't worry, there are plenty of us "naive" people out there if it means that we expect honesty, as well as being honest ourselves (for the most part -- we can't always be angels!).
 
I often feel the same way, Miss T. Honesty is one of the attributes i value a great deal. Unfortunately, it appears that honesty is becoming less and less prevalent in those i meet.

An honest answer that hurts me is much preferable to a lie that will be brought to light later. The lie to me is much more uncaring and utterly lacking in any regard for me as a person.
 
Yes, morninggirl....

I made that point on the phone, not five minutes ago.

I can manage almost anything as long as it is based on honesty. It is the lie, blatant or by omission, that hurts.

Hmmmm


why is it so hard to be honest?

I don't find it difficult and in fact, find honesty almost liberating, in a sense.


Hmmmm maybe I....errrrrrr WE are just oddballs!

Hey Busty! Thanks for the reply. Yes, I recognized in you a certain no nonsense -lay the cards on the table- sort of honesty from the first post I read of yours. ;) Here! And you thought I wasn't looking! :D



:D
 
First of all, expecting honesty isn't unreasonable. Expecting 100% honesty is however. People do lie, and lies do occasionally grease the wheels of human interaction.
 
I think I will be sending you some truth serum for these joiks.

I pm'd ya.
 
Add me to your list...

I've always been one to trust til given reason not to....it's been the source of many a heartache...you'd think I'd learn, but alas, it's not in my cards...WE just have to trudge on and remember the Golden Rule...Do unto others as you would have them do unto you....no matter what....they'll get theirs in the end....I hope!

Hugs!

Perhaps.

I truly have to say that I don't lie.

I do embellish a bit here and there on the board, but pretty much present as the person I truly am.

I do expect that when you have stepped up a relationship and are involved in real time, there is little, if any, room for lies.

I am not talkinga bout how many traffic tickets one has or whether their weight is off by ten pounds....I am talking big stuff.

Too trusting....that is me.
 
"Be careful what you ask for, you may just get it."

I know people don't particularly care for my brand of honesty.

Oh well, life sucks, eh?

Hehe....Km, I wouldn't expect anything but straight forward, "in your face" honesty from you.

Thanks! You may piss off a lot of people, but I find you rather refreshing. You say what you mean. You are as honest with yourself as you are with others.

Life sucks, sometimes. Then, I touch the face of my sleeping little one, take a long hot bath because I pulled every muscle in my body playing soccor with the kidlings tonight, and find something good. Very good.

(And, honestly? I know my sentence structure sucks! I am bushed.) :D
 
I hate lies

They get in the way of the truth. If alie is the only thing to say don't say anything to me. I'm talking RL not lit. Half truths and fantasies is what I expect thats what make it fun.

*nods head*


So, do you mean to tell me that you don't really have an elephant trunk between your legs?

*smirks*

Actually, I like your av, very much. :D

Yes but only here, and I like your mind.
 
*huggers* sweet MissT....I couldnt agree with you more! Out right lying bothers me so much. Having fun is one thing, but I agree, if you step up the relationship, you better be real. Lying would seem to take up too much energy. I respect you MissT. Have always seen you as an honest, respectable woman. :kiss:
 
Being honest

has nothing to do with being "in your face" and confrontational. I see a lot of self-indulgent behaviour disguised as honesty. Besides, I have found that being truthful is not always the same as being honest.

Unless you are talking about mathematics or physics, truth and honesty are in the eye of the beholder.

Because of that, I use my intuition and common sense to navigate the waters of life. It works for me.

I am honest......However, I try to see the good in everyone.

*sighs* I get burnt more, that way.

A new day and a new outlook for dear old Miss T.

Yes, Nathan. We trust and we hurt.

However, it truly is better to have tried, and been hurt than to have felt nothing at all.

Furthermore, I believe that in the long wrong, honesty will be the key to my last and lasting relationship.

*sigh* I am a romantic, as well. :)
 
I wanted to post here only because it's been a long time since I was the overdressed member of ANY thread!

Yes. Why else am I still trying? Because there HAS to be someone out there willing to try this prince on.
