Honesty: Maybe the whole idea is overrated. Maybe “coming clean” is the ultimate selfish act- a way to absolve yourself by hurting someone who doesn’t deserve to be hurt. I cheated on a test in grade school with a couple of friends. They confessed, got grounded, and failed the class. I never told anyone, and it never mattered. But in a relationship, is honesty really the best policy?
-I try to be an honest person, but when "coming clean," and being pure in heart, I was criticized and call selfish, arrogant, and careless. I feel that when it comes to issues of self esteem and emotions, people are responsible for themselves. It shouldn't be a priority of another person to make you feel good about yourself. A person should also not be expected to change their entire identity in order to make someone feel better about themselves. I am me and I won't change for anyone like you. It's just not worth it. Call it selfishness, but people need to put themselves as their first priority- because when it's all said and done- it's you that you're left with in the end. If everyone operated on this theory, wouldn't everyone be happier? Being happy with themselves and careless of how others perceive them and their comments?
