I honestly do not understand why it's so hard for people to be upfront. In friendships, relationships, relatives, all of it. I hate having to read in between the lines and try to figure out what people want! Why can't you just say what is on your mind?
Like these, for example:
I've been hurt in the past and I'm not very trusting.
I wish you would wear less makeup.
I secretly have a girlfriend.
I don't want to be your friend.
You look like a clown in those pants.
I like your laugh.
Do you have to burp at the dinner table?
I don't really care for cats that much.
I care about you a whole lot.
It annoys me when you don't take your shoes off at the door.
I love you.
I think your jokes are stale.
You have bad breath.
Why don't you call more?
I wish you would stop eating the last of the french onion dip.
Can you stop leaving the toilet seat up?
Whether the truth is big or small, why can't we just be honest with one another and skip all of the nonsense? I don't want to pick your brain. I don't want to guess what you're really feeling. Lets get to the real problem, what's bothering you. Not even that, just when you meet a stranger just tell them who you are, what you want and expect, right?
What do you guys think? Is it okay to keep certain things in if it spares the other person's feelings?
Are you scared to tell the people you love the truth? Because you might get hurt or another reason?
Is it different with friends, strangers, family?
Comments are appreciated. Thanks.
