I am really tired of social and political mind games. It takes a lot of energy to sugar coat, bend, or otherwise alter the truth. I am going to make an effort to be completely honest. This doesn't make me a big old meany, because you're the one who chooses how to feel about something when you hear it. You can always ask why I think a certain way when you hear it. :3 I'm pretty good at seeing the good in people and letting them know what makes them awesome (which is simple truth,) but if you ask for my opinion always expect honesty from me.

Besides, what kind of friend would I really be if I only ever told you what you wanted to hear? What can you possibly gain from that, except for being lead astray down a false path when you're lead to believe falsities or half-truths? Next thing you know you're having an early-to-midlife crisis because of the candied feedback people have given you. I already have one friend experiencing this (I swear to Furry this is not my fault, but I feel I might have helped prevent this if I was more honest) and if you ask him, he'll purrobably say it's not a very fun thing to realize.

Think of the Friends you'll have if you find the best people who will take you exactly for who you are and will give you honest feedback. Honesty really is the best policy. Just avoid the emotional reaction, ask questions, and purrhaps in the end we can all be better people from it.
