I've been told that I wear my heart on my sleeve because I am open about what is on my mind and how I feel. Am not too sure if this is a good thing or not; whilst it is good that am honest with myself and other. However it can also be a negative as it means that I get hurt alot, partly because it freaks some people out, others ridicule it claiming that I am naive, almost child like.
The general impression that I get is that alot of social interaction is based on lies and deception. This seems illogical to me as you have to remember what you have told people and end up tripping yourself up at some point. So surely being honest is the better option? I mean white lies such as telling a child santa exists are ok as it keeps the sense of magic and excitment there for them. However the backstabbing that seems to be an on going theme in society is just malicious.
I am not naive enough to believe that being 100% honest is a good thing however, because we are not machines we all have feelings. At the same time I don't believe we should lie if someone asks you for your opinion you should tell the truth.
