Part of me wants to be honest about my feelings. But I have problems with this when it hurts others. :/
I don’t think I’ll ever be COMPLETELY honest about my feelings. Say, if my friend asks me if I like her shirt, and I really don’t, I can’t say “No, I think it’s hideous.”
But yet I don’t say it so that you can tell I really don’t like it, either: “YEAH! OMGIT’SSOEFFINGAWESOME!! =D”
I don’t react that way. In this type of situation I’d prolly have the reply of “Yeah, it’s cool.” Is this so wrong? _
I think it’s important to consider other’s feelings. Why is it so important to tell my true feelings of something like a shirt? In that situation I think it’s okay to “lie to myself.” If it was something much more serious, I don’t think I could lie about it.
I don’t want to burden people when they ask us how we are, when we really feel horribly, so, if I’m not close to them I say fine. But it’s somebody I could confide in, I’d tell the truth.
I think it’s just important to maintain a balance here.. Between being honest with my feelings yet caring about other’s feelings at the same time.
