So heres the thing and maybe its a stupid thing but this is whats going through my mind so may as well share
It can be hard to be honest with someone, it can make you feel uncomfortable, it can lead you into conversations you really dont want to have but guess what its better than not being honest.
And thats me im honest i dont lie, i always try and be the best kind of person i can be but i have regretted a few things in my time.
1. Walking out on someone who liked me because i didnt like him and leaving him to find me gone when he came back from the bathroom
2. Ending up in bed with the wrong person because the right person hurt me and hating myself for it after
I must point out these arent the only things in my life i regret but im not mad enough to list all the times i have cocked up in one go!!
But in both those situations i took a deep breath i had the hard conversation, i owned up and i accepted the outcomes.
So i dont avoid people, i dont not respond and i dont hurt people... and that means i get let down when others do it to me because i could never do it to them even if i had to look someone in the eye and say....im sorry...im done...i dont want you....it was fun but a one off....or i treated you badly
So next time you dont want to be honest think about how the person your not being honest with might feel and then turn the tables...if it was you would you want to be treated that way?
