Emotional honesty = negative response. This is absolutely one of the most "truest " statements or equations that I have ever heard. Most people cannot handle emotional honesty. I know I've lost many friends and family over the years for being honest . But yet you have to take everything they throw at you.
Insults and all. The only way to get through this life is to play the " phoney game" that everybody plays.
