Liar.
Her most bitterly spoken epithets are like sugar sprinkled snowflakes.
Yes, there are. Don't ever give up because as you get older you will find them and you will quickly learn the difference between those with the courage to be true and those without.
It takes strength of character to stand up and say 'this is me, and this is what I stand for'. Not everybody realises that they have this strength within them. They may be afraid - of appearing foolish, of making a bad impression, of failing a test, whatever - so they act out, lie, put on a mask, 'play the game' and so forth.
If you have courage and moral conviction don't be disheartened by those that lack them. They will wake up one day. In the meantime do not allow these people to hurt you. Back yourself.
Barack Obama!
Still? What makes you think there were more honest people in the past than today?
Seems like you have troubles reading people and social situations. A common occurrence for many, but it has little to do with honesty.
Just as it's appropriate, proper, or convenient. Or alternatively, just as I want to be. Lying is just a tool. You can use it for good or for evil. Being incapable of lying is just as bad as being incapable of being truthful.
Not sure what you mean by that.
Personally, I'm going to start lying, twisting, misrepresenting and omitting more, at least in my personal life. Honesty has not worked out one damn bit.
Didn´t mean to apply people in the past were more honest than in the present. You know my english is shaky, don´t put too much weight on my every word. :P
And besides the posts was written in anger and hurt.
However I found auntihills posts very helpful, because yes...that was just a human side I got to see, that I didnt´t get to see before in that person.
The honest thing came to my mind, because of a few situations with that person.
But it´s all right now. I know there are people out there who are honest, who are idealistic, I know everyone has different sides, thats human, I also now there are some people out there, that cultivate there not so nice sides more than the rest.
I am not quite sure if I have problems reading people or social situations...normally I have quite fast a feeling for a situation and so. However I think I miss certain experiences I should not be missing. Well the work on yourself never ends.

I am 19, so my state of mind is still young. But I don't lie as much as I used to. If I messed up I don't hide it. If I am wrong I gladly admit it, as I have done on here. However, my troubles with people in high school make me think of people in a bad light first. I expect them to be mean before I know them.
My honesty is matched only by my idealism. Honestly.
^and don't forget your very serious, mature personality.
I am rather stuffy.
Yeah. Stuffy and honest. That's you, all right. Sure is. Yep. Uh-huh.
Honestly stuffy. That's me. Harumph!
I am rather stuffy.
Huh? The one with The Great Grape as his avatar? Yeah....stuffy.
Oh! You mean "stuffed grape"!
I think I have a little cold, actually. Sniff.
What kind of honesty are we talking?
I'm very pro-socially honest, if I find your money or wallet you'll get it back and I don't make stuff up if that's the type you're reffering to?
On the other hand there's emotional honesty - I pretend to be happier than I am, but I doubt that makes me a monster, does it?

I've rarely been close to anyone who didn't dump all over me and/or engage in a sort of masochistic relationship that they convinced me that I deserved, as I had wronged them. But, were very careful that no-one else should know about what they were doing to me.
I was closest to my ex-boxer grandfather, and was most straight with him, but unfortunately he didn't think I should develop my physical skills, which is what I would have needed, really, at best, to get a girlfriend.
I think I'm honest and idealistic and forthright, and when I'm not, I end up harming myself.
I don't know what I would be like with my kids. Other than to tell them they could trust me.

Pretending to be happy doens't make you a monster at all. Especially if you do it so that people around can go about there days knowing everything is fine.
