I think with the right amount of tact nothing is too honest! But it can also depend on the person you are talking to, I have friends that can't take the truth sometimes, too sensitve or emotional I think.

Honestly, I don't think the average person these days can take honesty at all, as well, can not see it or give it.

I dont think there is ever anything as too honest. But I come from a family that is brutally honest with each other and some of us, including me, speak before we think.

Maybe there is such a thing as too much information too quickly.

Is it honesty or how much should one tell?
I am as honest as one gets,can work for you or against you,but is who I am.
And in how much to tell, I beleive it goes with being honest,to know who you are today is to know where you have come from.
Honesty is always the best policy,even if its not always what one wants to hear.
So then in answer to the question,be as honest as you can be,some can tell more then others,but I believe in being totally honest and will take what ever sacrafices come from the truth that I have spoken.

I believe there is no such thing as too honest. Just because you may be honest doesn't mean you have to be hurtful. A little tact can make a world of difference.

I agree,there is a time and place for "too" much information,as well as there is a "compassionate" way of presenting honesty.

I got to agree with hotstrawberries that your partner is the one honesty is important with and communication everything else should fall into place

Honesty is a must! I've always looked at it this way. If one is honest with me, I have nothing to dispair! If they were dishonest with me, then I'd be full of questions, doubts and wondering thoughts.... Personally, I'm a very straight forward kind of guy. I can't be any other way. I have to tell the truth, be forthwith and bring all skeletons out of the closet before I can give myself fully to one special person. Never hold back. If you feel compelled to be honest and say what you want, get it off your chest. If it makes you happy, then it's the right thing to do! If you hold back, it will be discovered. Automatically, that can put doubt in one's mind as to "I wonder what else she hasn't told me"......

cutelildev your still on of my favs, I think you were just trying to get that point across anyway. You sly devil!

I believe in honesty, but there is a such thing as rigorous honesty. As being in recovery for so long we have to be completely honest with each other. Otherwise how will we ever be able to look at our character defects and be willing to change. One time in my life I would of never believed that I had so many defects. I also believe that you have to be careful. I would never use this when it can hurt someone in the wrong way, or where it makes me feel better about myself. I always thought that I was a pretty honest person until someone called me on this. They asked me if I ever received a phone call and told my kids to say I was not home... (well I sure don't use that tactic anymore)

I am honest to a fault. I realize that I need a happy medium from being completely honest and not saying nothing at all. Because if you don't say anything at all, it appears that you are hiding something when possibly you are not intending to. We need to be honest, but we just don't have to tell everybdoy every little detail.

I've learned that you just don't spill your guts right away, get to know who you entrust your deepest darkest secrets to. Otherwise, you may find everything you told used against you. Be honest and be yourself. Time will tell, never a guarantee.

Honesty is the best policy. I wouldn't want to base a relationship on lies. They have a way of coming back and haunting you. If you are straight up in the first place and the other person with you then at least you have a fair opportunity to make up your mind if you go farther or not.
