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
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. 😅
One of my biggest pet peeves ...spinning the story to make yourself look better or take the blame off yourself or whatever the reason is...but some people are do pathological about it do they even know when they are doing it.0 -

That’s one of my issues. Sometimes I’m not even aware of when I’m not being 100%. My motives are always so mixed and I think I’m deceiving myself. (I’m trying to only use myself as an example so I avoid being a hypocrite and cuz I’m really only interested in myself anyway.)1 -

Dang, y’all hate some strangers. I would probably do my best to leave the place in better shape than when I got there, and not be any sort of imposition4

Hypothetical scenario:
A little girl asks her father to colour meanwhile grabbing a copy of 50 shades of grey. He responds, “No honey it’s not a colouring book.” She responds, “but daddy...” to him immediately yelling, “don’t call me that!”
Moral of the story, don’t use daddy out of context.4 -

I'm so pissed...I didn't open mfp since Sat am to try to kill my dumb "streak" (I hate that thing...stresses me out) and came on tonight expecting a "1 day" but got f-ed over and my streak wasn't reset.
Wish I could turn that off, would like this app a whole lot more if not constantly being reminded of my 'failure' or 'pressure to continue a 'streak'' or 'obsessive calorie counting'...which ever way I choose to think of it that day4 -

Thank-you for saying so, after I typed I felt like maybe shouldn't share because maybe I take things too serious or too far or dwell on minute details2 -

And here I had a 1200 something streak, missed 2 days because my thoughts were elsewhere with all this crazy flooding in my area and mine reset itself. So strange. But I get what you mean. I have fallen into the over obsessive mindset here before.1 -

For me it upsets me and in ways fosters an unhealthy frame of mind, whether I meet my "goals" or don't. I don't like it.
I do understand how it can motivate some people, I just wish I could turn it off.1 -

Whatever you do, do NOT knock them out with the intent of washing them and putting them back in later
They don't go back in easily

I keep deodorant and toothbrushing stuff at work. You never know when you'll need to freshen up.
Or just flat out forget to do before leaving the house, because the morning rush is real and a struggle sometimes.1 -

Historically I’ve put all my eggs in the “i’ll never forget to do it” basket
It might be time to try new baskets3 -

A basket is overkill, Hank.
You just need a simple zipper pouch with a travel size deodorant and teeth cleaning stuff.
Done.1
