Be honest.
Lies will 100% come out and then you've hurt the person twice: once when you lied, and a second time when the truth comes out.
And everything in between becomes meaningless and suspect.
I'm not someone whose feelings are easily hurt, especially not by those I love.
The respect people lose from me when they lie to me - especially out of some misguided attempt to protect - means they likely lose a lot of what holds our relationship together.
My exes have both lied - they told themselves it was to protect me, I'm sure - but I actually left them because of their dishonesty and the consequences of it.
Honesty. Trust me to handle my own feelings.
I prefer honesty. Hate lies.
Be honest.
I have this thing where I'm not just honest for others, but mainly for myself. I don't like lying, it makes me feel bad and I already feel bad about enough things as it is.
I do believe that it's possible to be honest without hurting someone feelings all the time.
You can sometimes convey exactly what you want to convey without sounding harsh about it.
Gentleness, "damn girl your perfume... that old rose scent.. stinks-and it hard to kiss-up on Grandma smell."-Not Good... Gently, "shower clean with nothing else and... let's go shopping. There something at L'Occitane, Bare Minerals, or Macy's that has a better stink. She's not dumb.. little insulted but impressed with truth conveyance.
I don't know...

I'd rather people say the truth about me because my self esteem is already at 0 anyways lol. If someone asked me if they're pretty or good looking I would answer yes. Honestly it's mostly the truth because anyone I consider a good person is always beautiful to me for some reason. Even if it's the most attractive person but they have a bad personality I'll find them ugly. I feel it's just me though lol. Although if someone looks horrific I wouldn't let them be seen like that.
I've had to debate this with myself, but I think I'd prefer to have them be honest. I have to conduct my life in such a way that people would RATHER be honest with me - essentially, when someone confesses to me, I soothe my anger to the best of my ability - afterall, they didn't try to hide it. But when I find someone has been lying to me...
We're through. Probably.
Truth, although sometimes the truth can be subjective and an opinion so unless it directly relations to the relationship, maybe not.
Like someone could be perfectly in their BMI and a guy could say she is fat, but if he didn't he'd think he was lying.
So when it matters, yes be truthful at all times... even lying by omission bothers me... just cause someone didn't ask the right question.
A female friend and I had this conversation once. She only wanted the truth. Then one day she tells me "I was wrong. I don't always want the truth. My boyfriend always compares my cooking to his moms. It's good but my mom uses blah, blah, blah and its the best blah, blah, blah. I wish he'd lie say he likes my chicken and rice."
Point being most of us want the truth until we get it all the time.
Hurt me with the truth than comfort me with a sugarcoated lie
I really don't care what others think to begin with so it doesn't matter to me. It usually goes one ear and out the other. Who knows the truth about you more than you? No one, you're with yourself 24 hrs a day
You hurt them more when they find out you didn’t tell them.
Be honest and if it hurts then that will be mine reaction to it
s I’d rather someone be honest with me even if it’s hurtful. Lies hurt more than truth ever could.
It often depends on the circumstances of the situation
100% honest. I live my reality of the good, bad and ugly. I acknowledge my bs ways.
I have good ways and $&^* ways as well so nothing the person says isn't something I'm not aware of about myself already and have accepted.
The truth, but don't say it someone who doesn't take criticism well. Speaking from experience
Don't be a dick.
Yes someone lying for deception is bad. But comedy and relationships require a bit too and there is a limit.
Oxymoron, lies are always hurtful. Honesty is always the best policy. ALWAYS!
