Is it possible to be TOO honest? No such thing as too honest, just too soon. |

Could it be that being honest and telling the truth are not always the same thing?
When someone says they are "brutally honest" I always take that to mean they are just open about giving their opinion of something. That doesn't mean it's the actual truth, just their version of it. While I appreciate honesty, I appreciate much more a person who can be tactful in getting their point across without being cruel. |

OK..I guess I have to be specific. I'm not going to lie about who I am,where I've been,what I've done(within reason)or what I want. I won't tell some one they are ugly or stupid(unless they REALLY are). I won't tell you what you want to hear just to make you happy. I won't deliberately hurt anyone. I will be honest.Not brutally honest but,honest.My closest friend is brutally honest and won't take any BS from me.And I love her all the more for it. If I get asked a question,I answer it to the best of my ability. Is this wrong? Sounds like you have it right.Personally being tactful is best. Being brutally honest is something you have to be careful to not totally crush someone who can't handle what your "being honest" about. |

JMO, but some things are just best left unsaid if it's simply to be rude or to hurt someone when saying nothing would have sufficed.
Honest is something we all proclaim to be, or most do, yet I doubt there's any of us who haven't told a "white lie" at some time. I don't care if someone tells me they've read 10 books when they've only read 9, but don't lie to me about things that will cause me to make a decision based on what you said if it's not true. "I'd rather you hurt me honestly, then to mislead me with a lie". |

I believe in honesty no matter what in saying that I also believe you can be honest with out destroying someone with your opinion.
I have to have honesty in any relationship I know in my heart I can't survive without it. I would rather someone be brutally honest with me than lie to me no matter what. So no I don't believe that you can be too honest I do believe you have a choice in how you give it. |

There is a difference between honesty and plain being rude...unfortunately most people I've come across see both in the same.  Sometimes there is no other alternative BUT to be rude, otherwise they'll never get the point. I'd rather be brutally honest, even to the point of being rude, than blow sunshine up anybody's butt. |
