honesty ( Archived) (28)

what dose it really mean ?
well to me its not just a word to say to get someone to believe that you are but a hope that you can find it in that special person.
for me you cant be honest if your not loyal and you cant be loyal if your not comitted to that person and how can you be committed if your not honest so as you can see honesty means more than just one thing.
let me know what you feel it means to you i would love to hear what others think about it .

honesty is being able to believe anothers words and being able to have trust in them.
I was involved with a soldier who always swore he would be totally honest with me even if it hurt, well long story short after making plans for a future together, he simply walked away and I found out his idea of honesty was just one for the moment..

You have to be honest, talk and say what you feel and think and when it comes to a relationship always be hoonest and truthful..Honesty does encompass a wide variety of emotions and feelings and when you truly have it, everything else falls into place and there is no jealousy, no fears of cheating, no fears of the negative type, because you know your partner is honest with you and therefore the trust and respect is there..Well this is just my opinion..

well i see there are a few veiwers of my forum but not many replys ?
is it that they are afraid to say what they feel honesty means to them or just dont know what it is .

orcid thanks for your reply and yes once you have it many other things come into play .

I think that honesty pertains to being able to tell someone the truth even knowing what the consequences could be.....Knowing you can be trusted a 100 % because of just how honest you are!! Thats all I can think of for now!! sorry!

well now that i have given it a little more thought i think that being true to yourself and not creating the grey areas that most ppl do by a grey area i mean you know its wrong at the time but justify it by telling yourself its not hurting anyone so why not . but the truth is it is hurting someone if no one else but yourself its still going to
sorry if im babblin but ive always tried to do whats right even if its not whats best at the time and i seam to be the one that gets hurt the most for it

Honesty is something that alot of people have issues with due to the fact that so many people aren't honest with themselves. They need to learn to be honest with themselves and it starts by being able to look in the mirror and learn to love themselves. It is only then that they truely be honest. And a lot of people have a hard time getting past that first step. But once they do they will only then learn how to be completely honest to the rest of the world because honesty with yourself brings forth a confidence that doesn't allow you to whimper down and just go with the flow.

now your talking
whitenight has hit it on the head if you cant be honest with yourself how can you be with others or better yet how can you exspect others to be honest with you

honesty, I've got it and I have to have it...

Honesty means telling the truth even if it is going to hurt the person you care for. If you are going to have a love that will last a lifetime you will have to develop trust and friendship though complete honesty. If the time comes where the honesty is lost, all of the other elements friendship, loyalty, trust all come tumbling down. Honesty is the most important element to finding a lasting soulmate.
