or just being brutally honest with someone, sometimes it’s tough to find the latter in between.
Through research however, it has been indicated that people regret not expressing their true feelings when lying in their deathbed so I believe that it is important to be as truthful as possible when given the chance, if not for the sake of others but most importantly for your own sake. Illness and disease can develop through suppressing your emotions or simply withholding them, so I honestly believe that through honesty you’ll eventually avoid these problems.
From a personal standpoint I am generally honest, but sometimes I struggle when dealing with pleasing others. I feel as though my job is to make them feel good and not necessarily worry about myself. This usually happens when it is a small insignificant lie but I think it is important to start voicing my opinion for the sake of being me and not necessarily pleasing the crowd.
From now on I will focus my efforts in expressing how I really feel about different matters and worry less about the other individual and most importantly, worry more about myself. Sounds a little selfish I know but it is either that or having my voice continue to be silenced. This will ultimately go one of two ways, I will either strengthen my relationship with the other individual or I will release myself of an unnecessary relationship. Either way though, I win. I would advise everyone to try the same. Don’t necessarily go all out on people but begin slowly, possibly one individual at a time. Be direct and express your true feelings on a matter and don’t worry about expressing how you truly feel, it is important to make your voice be heard.
