So I was driving home thinking about slightly recent events....
I don't feel like I need to become a dishonest person just because a good amount of people shut down at the first sign of honesty. I usually like to lay everything out there at some point, I can't wait around for someone to decide it's important to talk about. If it's important to me, it's going to be brought up, I would hope someone else would do the same.
That said, I do come across too strong sometimes, a little bit of brutal honesty DOES hurt I've found out, so I AM sorry if I've upset people, sometimes I really do need to think more before I talk.
In the end though, there is some underlying meaning or confusement that I need cleared up in these situations. In my recent past (I'm talking past 6 months or so) I've discovered that a lot of people just aren't WILLING to clear things up.
This just isn't happening anymore.
You can make excuses for your actions as much as you'd like.. but if you are NOT being a good friend or you CANNOT tell me where we stand in a relationship (or where we DON'T stand for that matter) just get out of my life. If people decide to grow up, they're almost always welcome back in it.
And if anyone would like to throw me some brutal honesty or gentle honesty (hah) here's your chance I suppose.
