Are you consistently 100 percent honest with people?

[Extraterrestrial1999]

Not really, I sugarcoat things a lot

Yes, honesty is the best policy

No, I feel like people couldn't handle the completely honest version of me, therefore I lie a lot

[TheRealPepperPotts]

There are a few exceptions I will make, so I can't say I'm 100% honest. Here's why: It starts to get into the conversation of ethics when you isolate honesty from other values. If I have innocent people hiding in my home and there is a pogram going on, you bet your life I will not be honest with the instigators. If someone asks me if I like their new hairstyle, I will be as truthful as possible while still being aware that they are proud of it (usually that means I will find something positive about it). If a child runs up to me with an unidentifiable artwork and asks me if I like it, I will meet them at their level of ability and compliment their effort, not judge their skills based on the greatest art of the world.

As a general guideline, I balance honesty with empathy. I also examine my attitude: am I truly being honest or do I just think my perspective is the only right one? For example, I might think that tattoos are ugly. But that is my opinion, and it is not necessarily a concrete "truth" in the same way that "murder is evil" is the truth. Hopefully that makes sense!

[Cynicaldreamer]

If I was, I probably wouldn't have a job right now, lol

I'm honest, I'll say 80-90 percent of the time- which is why I don't have many friends, for the most part, YES, I'm very blunt and candid. I am that friend that will tell you if you're fat or not.
The other 10, 20 percent is at work when I'm politicking and being "polite" to my colleagues and patients to be professional... because apparently telling your coworker that talk too much is "rude."

[Chazmatazz269]

No. Jokes, pranks and special surprises would be lost to “complete” honesty. Also, most people can’t handle complete honesty. So it’s just malicious to offer unnecessary information when it’s not requested. It’s a little malicious to offer unnecessary information when it IS requested, if you don’t give the intended a chance to reconsider. Ell oh ell!
I haven’t lied in over eighteen years.

[OlderAndWiser]

Depends on your definition of honesty. I try very hard to avoid saying things that are untrue, but I sometimes don't tell people about things that they may be expecting to hear. And if a co-worker asks a question about her appearance, I'm not going to tell her that she looks so homely that clothes, makeup, and hair can't rescue her.

[Simslover92]

If I was 100% honest, there would be a lot of butthurt people. Like I can't stand my boss and her man-hating talk but I keep my mouth shut or just nod in agreement because she's my boss but if I could really say how I really feel she wouldn't like it one bit. Men aren't something to hate. She gives women a bad rap.

[sage2021]

I believe I am and have made it my own standard to be honest with people. I believe I have integrity and that is hard to find in people in these times we are living in. But it is part of me and I will never change.

It might be because I am older and grew up in a time when more people had a moral code of ethics. Being a known liar was not someone people would engage with or be friends with.

What good is a liar to the people they lie to? Zero!

[IslaTheWitch]

I'm simply honest... not everyone likes it... but I can't see any win with deceiving people, especially since I'm really bad at lying and pretending... it would take a lot of my energy I can put into something more constructive... and being honest is simpler... I don't need to keep track of what I said to whom...

[libsaretards]

Anyone who says yes to this is a liar. NOBODY is 100% honest.

If a woman asks her man "do these jeans make my ass look fat?" and he replies with anything other than something like "Babe, you look absolutely amazing", he is dead meat. So that is a survival lie we have to tell lol

That is just one example. It might be a small, white lie, but it is a lie.

[HawkPerception]

Yes and always. I'm an open book with people. And I'm blunt (sometimes to the point of rudeness). I don't sugarcoat anything. I've learned to dial it down on the bluntness and only speak if someone asks me a question, but I will forever be honest and appreciate honesty towards me too. I prefer if someone says I'm ugly or they don't vibe with me or I'm being a little shit than them being all nice to me and talking shit behind my back. I respect honest people more.

[MemeSupreme]

not voting but I'm usually honest altho sometimes it's good to be lol

[PointlessNonsenseGuy]

Anyone who tells you they're consistently a hundred percent honest with people is either lying, or has serious mental problems.

[DeeDeeDeVour]

Some people couldn't handle my bluntness.

I have to ease their pain with bits of alterations.

[WhitneySnow]

Not 100% occasionally I tell a white lie but mostly I am. And definitely about important stuff.

[AngryCarl]

On GaG I'm always totally honest. In RL I do hold back sometimes. I'd rather keep my mouth shut than get into a political or religious argument.

[LiamJHayden]

No. I have been asked for my address and asset info and I am not going to give those out randomly.

[handsomelad70]

Seventy to seventy-five percent, as I'm the king of the little white lie.( "Little BLACK lie" in my case.)

[DrPepper12]

I alter my vibe to theirs. It's not a lie. It's a defense mechanism.

[OddBeMe]

NO one is 100% anything. Least of which honest.
I am most honest with my wife. The only person I trust the most.

[LucindaPNW]

My issue is I’m over honest and I share details I don’t always mean to 😂

[whistlingwh0res]

Honest as much as possible and be considerate at the same time

[ManInChains]

I try my best to be, yes

[mandyfire98]

Almost too open and honest

[DizzyDesii]

Im honest without being rude/blunt

[exitseven]

I am honest with people that deserve it.
