Honesty
How important is honesty to you? Is it more important than kindness? Share a story of a time you or someone you know was not honest and it caused problems or was 'too honest' and it caused problems.

Honesty is very important to me. I think that it is more important in some ways to be honest then to be nice. I dont want people to lie to me just to make me feel good. I would want to know the truth even if it hurts.

One time i think it was last year one of my best friends lied to me and it ended up in a total disaster. I dont know if she just didn't want to hurt my feelings or if she didnt want to make me mad but when i found out from everyone else except her it made me feel both hurt, and angry. I think if she would have told me herself i would have still been mad but i would have probably understood more.

Being too honest can be bad to though. This one girl is very very blunt and it really sometimes can hurt my feelings. I know she just says stuff to help me most the time but sometimes i dont need her help or dont want it and it can make me really mad when she is always saying stuff that are true but still hurt my feelings. So i think that honesty is very important as well as kindness but you just need to know how to balance it. You need to know when to use what in what situation.
