Honest People

Question: Am I just too Honest/blunt/truthful/forthright/genuine/to the point or are most people just lying about their true feelings?


I often wonder this because, I myself am always accused of being far too blunt. Many times I have found myself feeling from others that I have just put my foot in my mouth. The problem with this is I rarely feel that I have committed a verbal crime nor do I feel that I have said anything untrue or out of place.


I am not devoid of social appropriateness when it comes to conversation. Quite the opposite, I am very aware of when certain things should not be said. The problem is I find that, generally speaking, people protect each other from the truth far too much.


Do you ever find yourself lost in conversation wishing you could tell the person you are talking to what you really think? Wishing they could handle it but you know they cannot. Wondering why that person has been coddled all there life. Knowing how much closer you could be to them if you could really bond with them. I feel like this all the time!


This is my first blog and though it may not be a great one, it is the beginning of many to come. I have decided to start blogging because I feel I can be as honest as I want to be. Frankly most the people I deal with day in and day out are giving me bluntness build-up!


So tell me am I too honest or are most people just too safe with their true feelings?
