The thing is what you seem to be calling honesty is just your opinion & when one puts out their opinion as fact or truth against someone else's opinion it doesn't come across as opinion but as trying to force your view on them.

I grew up with a dad who was like that & he had no friends. Way back in those days diagnoses didn't exist for many of the mental health issues that exist today but I know there was something going on in his mind that made his communication with others a problem which was why he had no friends & I avoided being out in public with him as much as possible. We were never close.

When we hold on to being different & don't make a real effort to learn social norms then nothing that we complain about will ever change cause we are the only one who can make changes to improve things. Just the way life works
