Does sincerity still exist?

Question

Can you truly trust somebody to be honest with you?

KennyG72 · Accepted Answer

I have 3 friends, many associates and acquaintances. My 3 friends are all male and I tell them the unvarnished truth when they ask for it. They will do the same for me. When I got married to my ex-wife they all had reservations. None of them knew her well, but listening to them would have saved me 9.5 years of hell in my 10 year marriage. When they talked to me about the next one I listened and waited. They were right. Too may people don't speak up when you need them to or vomit their opinion when you don't want/need it. Being trustworthy and able to be completely honest with me without regards to my feelings when needed is my requirement to be my friend. I had a 4th friend but our lives drifted apart, if she hadn't been a lesbian I probably would have married her. Not going to marry someone who isn't genuinely my friend again.

If you develop that relationship with them from the beginning then yes it’s possible. My two best friends would honestly tell me anything without sugar coating it because they know I value that sincerity even if I’m sensitive to it at the moment

After knowing someone for an extended period of time, yes, I think that they can prove to be worthy of trust.

AddylynnNightingale · Accepted Answer

It does. But I have only a few friends because most people prefer living the lie.

NathanDavis · Answer

I have never doubted my best friends and family... they never gave me reasons to not trust in them either all the contraire... actually

Kabluie · Answer

Yes, if you show the same sincerity it totally is possible.

Unlike the people asking questions for phone or social media passwords. If you can't trust people with their own privacy, they won't trust you.

RangerBlue22 · Answer

Actions speak louder than words. I have a “trust but verify” attitude. You can put your faith in people but watch them carefully to see how they act.

slatyb · Answer

Not really. All you can go on is their past behavior. You could be happily married to someone for 25 years and then one day they just leave.

The_Shadow_Dweller · Answer

I cannot say about pure honesty, but you can access the situation someone is in and based on that you can choose whether to trust them or not. Hence, you can definitely trust on convenient honesty.

Havthrills · Answer

I've been through enough, I will say the truth no matter what. Is that what you mean? Some like to do "little white lies" saying they're not bad. But they're still lies.

BLP11520 · Answer

Yes, but not as it should. Selfishness lust maybe, greed take over. My friends know I am telling the truth because of my track record. I told a few my problems and that i was ready to fall apart and they helped, some people from here helped. I was sincere and so was their advice. I am doing much better than 3 weeks ago. Sincerity= being honest.

RHK36 · Answer

I always start new relationships with a good amount of trust. It's up to them to either keep it or lose it.

GoodGuyBreakingBad · Answer

I'm not really sure this is a touch and go question.

SnowedIn · Answer

There are a few I trust to be sincere and honest with me. And I with them. But often I'm guarded as opposed to insincere or dishonest.

dustybiker · Answer

Something you have to give to have better chances of receiving.

SaoirseS · Answer

I know those I can trust to be sincere: husband, family, some friends, and staff.

Jrick02 · Answer

I can if I feel the person has some good character otherwise no

hyperben · Answer

hard yes but things like sincerity are expensive qualities, dont expect them from cheap people

genericname85 · Answer

well you can't be naive and trust anyone. yeah sincere people do exist but it's not so easy to figure out who is sincere and who's not.

BoobMan · Answer

Of course you can! If you find you usually can't you need to hang out with higher quality people.

Hardworkingguy · Answer

Sincerity is a beautiful thing because you can't find it everywhere so it can be compared to something like a diamond. It's something that you know exist but it's very rare to find

ArtemisSilver · Answer

Surely it does but some people would prefer to live inside a construct of delusions.

Hanrej · Answer

No, but that doesn't mean sincerity doesn't exist. It just means I wouldn't trust even sincere people.
