Better to know a painful truth. It will hurt to begin with but it will heal. A comforting lie is manipulation which would mean that my trust has been used and abused and also that another person has made a decision for me which in my mind is an act of pure selfishness.
I need truth in my life.
I can forgive a truth
No mater the pain
But a lie is trying to get over on me and that's bad because the truth always comes out no matter what
Absolutely..
Tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth so help you god lol.
yeah it’ll hurt but if there’s something truly serious I need to know i better learn it sooner than later.
What if it’s hurting the other person.. would you do it?
Me telling the truth hurting the other person? Yeah im still stating it. I might prep them beforehand but im not keeping any secrets or lying to my s/o
That’s good
The lie might feel good in the moment, but is the worse decision long term. Best to know the truth.
I always wanna know. I don't like when people lie to me
Truth, people who want lies aren't emotionally healthy and cope in unhealthy ways
The painful truth, but as with anything, there are exceptions to the rule.
Most people here certainly prefer comforting lies.
Suicidal Empathy is an addictive drug
It's always better to know the painful truth IMHO.
Painful truth!
