    I hate that people at work know my poop schedule.

    i hate that the bank that holds my debit card and the grocery store with its membership rewards program tries to know my menstrual cycle. cash is king.

    sorry, i know that doesn’t help you

    My favorite childhood books were Mouse and the Motorcycle (go Ralph!) and The Borrowers. Something about little creatures having a secret life parallel to ours

    Has anyone here tried radical honesty? Thoughts?

    I'm not sure the world is equipped to deal with that kind of honesty tbh but it would be absolutely liberating.

    I’ve been trying it lately, its equal parts liberating and life threatening

    yeah I could see how easily it might liberate someones fist into my face. Most people aren't ready for that. And honesty does not imply truth nor fact so just because someone is being honest in the things they say, doesn't really mean anything.

    Really? If you’re serious I’d love to hear some of your observations about it. Is it a difficult habit to cultivate? Do you sometimes question whether you’re simply being honest or maybe slipping into snarky? I’m very interested in this but I think I’d be constantly questioning my motives

    I am being serious, yes! But I don’t mean that I’m being brutally honest. I’m just trying to tell the truth all the time, even when its hard.

    It has greatly elevated my impatience with other people’s lies though

    Edit: yes i think it’s difficult to cultivate. I never realized just how much i used to lie purely to save face before, so that has taken some getting used to. Another form of dishonesty I’ve come to despise and avoid is spinning the truth. My sister for example.. she can tell you the same story twice but depending on who she likes better or if she wants to be a martyr she can completely change up the good and bad guys. It has made me want to tell things exactly as they happened, even if in doing so I’m not nearly as convincing.

    And no, i don’t worry about being too snarky. I’m actually painfully polite in real life. 😅

    How do you handle extremely awkward situations. For example, say you have a friend which an ugly baby, and she asks you "Isn't my baby just the cutest thing?"

    Do you:
    1) Lie
    2) Say "It's a cute thing, that is for sure"
    3) Other, please explain
