    Cuz they think you dont know when they are lying/have lied... but really you do...they lose a tad more respect everytime it happens...

    I listen to what is said by others & dont forget important bits, it is frustrating when, a few weeks/months later... something else is said which contridicts what had been said prior... whether it is just bending the truth... or lying... for whatever reasons... respect is lost.

    I dont say anything to the persons as I dont like confrontation... but I have 'caught out' a few of my friends like this... as well as partners!!!

    Im glad I am a truthful, honest person

    What prevents people from being honest to each other? Hmm.

    Earlier this year, I made a personal resolution to never do anything that I would want kept secret, or have to lie about, and if I did do something I regretted, to man up and take my knocks without hiding it. That resolution has served me well.

    My impression, however, is that the majority of people in this world do not take that approach to life.

    I think people who lie are driven by selfishness. A lack of empathy for others, a focus on the immediate gratification of their desires, and a low self-esteem that makes them feel that they need to project a false image of themselves to be accepted.

    A lack of respect and a natural inclination for contempt towards the other person, I think.

    Ultimately a lack of ethics, in the broader perspective.

    And then, you got the dickheads who think they can just get away with it...

    And btw, I mean that in a non gender specific way!

    I think most people are honest with each other. But to be honest, if you are going to be 'brutely' honest your are going to piss people off. The trick is knowing when people ask a question do they want an honest answer or an answer that they want to hear. No knowing the difference can destroy a relationship just as easy as lieing.

    Yep that's the GOLDEN RULE. "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." Language is a bit archaic but the meaning is still the same.

    Only partially agree here...why not find someone who actually appreciates "brutal" honnesty?
    I know I have...it's taken a while for him to get used to it but hubby knows that I don't mean any harm by it. I just say things the way I see them: I call a spade a spade, full stop.
    And he definitely likes knowing where he stands, and I see him as a stronger man for it.

    It's not about being hurtful, but about not wanting ever to belitle his trust by lying to him, not even a "white lie".

    I agree with you..........first a relationship is about friendship so it is important to know where one stands........otherwise, one ends up tip toeing around things which is not being honest.

    Plus I actually think that a strong and honest friendship in a relationship helps the physical side too.

    It's this attitude that has destroyed my hope of ever having another relationship. People who tell others what they want to hear are not being honest with themselves, therefore will never be honest with anyone else. I want BRUTAL honesty and am lied to every time. If the truth kills me I'd rather be dead than lied to!

    I think the "do unto others" has been changed to "Do in others before they do you in"
