Do you think there's such thing as being too honest?

[Anonymous]

Or is honesty just honesty no matter if it's harsh or hard to hear? Or is it the way it's said maybe

Oh well there is.

So yesterday in this wedding party, they were serving some kind of pastry which was really good. We arrived there late so it was almost over. So there was only one pasty left and my sister went to take that, a little guy who was like 8 years old was also there, probably to take the last piece.

Him being polite, he asked my 14 year old sister if she really wanted that.

Now as the elder person, you would say no and offer the kid the last piece. I mean even if you're not elder but if someone asks that in this situation then you would assume that that person also wants it and just say no so they can have it.

My sister said "Oh yeah I love the last pieces!"

And she grabbed it and left that poor guy. He probably started his villian arc now and is blaming his mom for teaching him good manners because they didn't work here! 😭

[Asker]

Lmao he probably went home all angry blaming his manners thinking of the last piece, telling himself never again 😂

Imagine if he becomes a bully after that or a thief lol

[Apulu_backagain]

I mean, I can't even blame my sister- she was just honest 😭

[Asker]

Well it's good to be honest. But some info should be private like social security or personal info of that sort.

I think you can give opinions on things and still be respectful by choosing your words right. Talk with love. I know I have to practice this. And I try and I remind myself to not be harsh. I wouldn't like others being harsh to me. Also it's nice to speak softly to others instead of harsh brutal words. It makes ya feel nice inside 😊 Just put other people's feelings before your pride and it becomes easier. Remember Fruit of the Spirit. 😊

Very nice said indeed crumble bee 😆👏🏼

I like honesty, even if it hurts or is embarrassing because at least now you know the truth, but there is a such thing as unnecessary honesty..

[Asker]

Perhaps so

[Maybe_Maybe_not]

Yes, when honesty equals carelessness then I'll call that too much honesty, or I may call that selfishness as well, depending on the context

[Asker]

That's true indeed

[Flower7]

I prefer honesty. It saves a lot more time than beating around the bush.

[Asker]

That's facts

[Jjmetalchick]

Nope, that's I'm always honest with you when I say that you're a bully against a 15 year old

[Asker]

I think we have different definitions of bully in mind punchy bunny 😂

[Jjmetalchick]

See, like with that punch bunny thing that's mean

[Asker]

But it's true 😂

[Jjmetalchick]

See? Proving my point

[Asker]

I'm not proving anything 😌😶

[Jjmetalchick]

Whatever, Mary 19 days till Christmas

[Asker]

Likewise lol *pats head*

[CubaPirate]

Absolutely because as Jack Nicholson said In a Few Good Men " some people just can't handle the truth "

[Asker]

That I believe, not everyone can take the truth but does that make the truth too honest? I would understand lying being too deceitful but is being honest being too honest? 🤔

[CubaPirate]

Not imao I just say what I say what I see if you don't like it that's your problem

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

No but some people use being too honest just to be disrespectful pricks.

[Asker]

Yep that true, happens a lot

[Kingofkings1992]

In certain contexts, yes. Generally speaking, no

[Asker]

Fair enough

[rosemilk]

yes. not all thoughts should be spoken

[Asker]

Thoughts I understand but if those thoughts are truths does it really make them too honest tho?
