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.2 -

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 motives0 -

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. 😅3 -

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 explain1 -

This is one of those situations where there is no ‘truth’, just opinions. Am i harming her by saying her baby is indeed precious? (Not cute because gah) No, I’m just acknowledging her truth: that her baby is the cutest thing. To her. But to tell her my truth would certainly harm her.
This is a no harm no foul situation0 -

truth doesn't have anything to do with honesty. If you look at that baby and think "that is one ugly baby" that is your perception but it is also your honest opinion. You're right, it is just an opinion but you would by lying by saying otherwise.
Radical honesty isn't about being truthful or factual, but being honest.3 -

True. I missed the spirit of your challenge.
I can’t do radical honesty because I absolutely believe there is a time for white lies. When my daughter has been working on her hair for 15 painstaking minutes and then asks me my opinion.. saying anything but how cute it is isn’t an option for me. She’s 8. She will conflate her efforts with the outcome so i will praise both.
Usually it’s more about listening to what the person is asking for. “Does this dress make me look pregnant?” is more difficult to answer dishonestly than “isn’t this dress super cute? I love it” because to lie to the person who genuinely wants to look her best isn’t helping her achieve that. She would be more concerned with knowing the truth, not with having her feelings spared. In that instance i would assume that my honesty is consented to.
But yeah, when it comes down to being honest or polite, radical honesty isn’t my thing. ‘Do no harm’ is. Because maybe in a vacuum radical honesty is a virtue, but in real life it’s a social handicap and i have no interest in hurting people over things that have no real significance.3
