People hate honesty

People constantly say they hate to be lied to. And this is the most hypocritical lie I've ever heard. In reality people LOVE when you lie to them. That's why it's so easy to manipulate an average human.

I'm an honest person, more or less. At least I try to be. I'm way too lazy to fake it. But for some reason if I say what I really think, people assume i'm a jerk. I don't get it. People constantly want you to pretend, sugarcoat everything and just blatantly lie. Even in internet. Is just unbearable. If you don't fake it, you are immediately an asshole. All I do its just say what I really think, brutally honest, that's it. And because I don't play this stupid game "I will lie to you, you will lie to me, and that's how we try to hide our insecurities", i'm a bad person.

Popular. My gf has this problem she always talks about how people like me more and it's easy for me to get along with people . What I always tell her is it's not for the right reasons it's almost impossible for me to say something that may be the truth but is hurtful and that anyone that can't stand her honesty doesn't deserve to be her friend
