I was accused of trolling not more than an hour or so ago because I said I never liked Sonic the Hegehog on Sega Genesis.
I didn’t say it sucked or was a shitty game; I just said I never got into it and explained why. 😮💨
Wtf? sonic probably hasn’t been good in my entire lifetime
I just don’t like Sonic. 🤷♂️
“People who are brutally honest get more satisfaction out of the brutality than out of the honesty.” – Richard J. Needham
As a teenager of about 15 or 16, I identified myself as brutally honest but I quickly got over that phase and realized that sometimes people want lies. Still, if somebody asks my opinion on something, then I will give it. I try to be tactful about it if it’s negative though.
I think it’s interesting where our minds go, mine went to being brutally honest about myself to other people, so it goes into tmi sometimes, and sometimes I do it to watch them squirm about something they asked
Good old fashion vanilla honesty is a good start!
Yeah, I mean, there’s a way that you can tell the truth in a way that hurts somebody and a way that you can tell the truth in a way that doesn’t hurt somebody.
Like if your girlfriend has a fat ass and she asks that if her dress makes her ass look fat then you can say “the dress makes your fat ass look like the fat ass that it is” or you can say “it complements your curves”
Neither one is a lie, but one is intentionally spiteful and hurtful, and the other one is like, okay, you obviously like the girl you don’t care about how fat her ass is.
“That dress does not make your ass look any different than it already is.”
You’d think a non-commital blank statement like that should work. It does not. One then must explain themselves. Night out: ruint.
There are many ways to express any given truth, or facets of the truth.
“That dress makes you look fat”
“That dress doesn’t flatter you”
“That dress fatters you”
“That dress makes you look thicker than a bowl of oatmeal”
“You Really Think Someone Would Do That? Just Go On the Internet and Tell Truths?”
I tell the truth in all but the most necessary psychological self-defence because I’m having difficulty remembering that I need to get stuff for dinner tonight, I dont need to keep track of an intricate web of lies on top of that.
Actually, that’s not the truth. That’s propaganda from <insert person or group I don’t like>.
You would say something like that, wouldn’t you?
