read and respond please?!
this is something i've been pondering over for a little while now, and i have my own opinion, but i'd like to really have yours...
should you be COMPLETLEY honest with people? friends, family, and others close to you speciffically, but everyone in general. If you feel a certain way, wether it be good, bad, love, hate, whatever.... if you have thoughts, dumb ones, silly ones, brilliant ones, crazy ones... should you share them? should you share them with the person that caused them? this deals with many relationships: 'romantic' guy-girl relationships, 'friend' opposite or same sex, parents, siblings, children, acquaintances, bestest friends, good friends, enemies, 'ex's,'future's, 'never's, 'always's..... how much should you tell who?
i think society says something like: tell your bestest friend(s) 90%, your 'interest' 50-80%(depending on how 'interested' yall are), your friends 70%, and your family what they need to know. those percents that aren't told though could be the percents you tell others.. and different people in the same category might get different information for the same percent...
personally. i think i want to tell people i'm close to 97%, with a certain few getting 99%, and maybe one or two getting 100%. thats big. really big. it means i dont hold back, but it also means if your close to me, you shouldnt have any doubt as to how i feel. now.. thats not to say i spill everyhting for the sake of spilling... there are many things i would tell, but only when asked. if i'm asked a question, i'm going to either tell you the complete truth, tell you most of the truth and tell you i'm not telling you the rest, or else tell you i'm not saying.
how do you feel about being open with others? this won't be screened, but it will be anonymous-allowed, so anyone can respond.... i'd like for everyone to respond, but i doubt that many will, people are too scared to say what they think.
