I’ll bet that you answered “yes.” If you did, who else do you know that’s completely honest?

I’ll bet that was much harder to answer. How is it possible that everybody believes that they are honest yet has a difficult time identifying anyone else with the same characteristics?

Are we all so dishonest that we are lying to ourselves?

I'm pragmatic, which means I tend to be honest most of the time so that I have enough credibility to get away with the odd lie when it's important.

Errrr nope. I'm a bit blunt at times, and sometimes people need to hear the truth, but sometimes I'm better off telling a lie.

That said, I put some effort into appearing honest. I am not a role model.

Practically often requires dishonesty.

For the most part I'm like a open book. Other times I've told white lies. I also love sarcasm if you want to count that as being dishonest.

Completely? Nobody. I'm sure everyone is guilty of lying at some point in their life and if they claim they haven't I wouldn't believe them anyway.

I no longer give myself false hope so nope.

Hmm.....tough question.

I feel as though I need to mention some things about me first. I'm straightforward and I dislike beating around the bush. I am so with family and friends.

So in everyday life, in a casual and familial setting, I can be brutally honest. But my honesty does not contain the intention to destroy, hurt or hate. I simply state things for what they are. How ever they choose to interpret that is none of my business. However, that being said, I will not jump in to provide my input if I am not asked to.

At my work, I ensure that my paperwork and socialising with colleagues are prim and proper. I do not converse more than I need to; because that tends to lead to information being shared; unwittingly or not. I do not divulge information regarding clients or their data. I also do not gossip; because that just becomes poison.

While I do not lie to clients, I am pragmatic. So I steer my clients in the direction I want them to go. So I highlight pros to my proposition. I also inform them of the cons but it's basically one's delivery and ability to handle objections that hooks a client.

So, I'm mostly honest (blunt) and consciously make an effort to not lie.

But there are always exceptions; white lies for what I believe is the greater good comes to mind.

Sort of.. I've been told often that I share too much information lol. That, and I tend to be extremely irritable and I don't mind sharing that fact.
But like a lot of Americans, I tend to restrain my responses to avoid an argument.

I’ll bet that you answered “yes.” If you did, who else do you know that’s completely honest?

My wife, she's a little like her mother.. so, even if you'd imagine it might be uncomfortable, she has no problem being curt. >__> Even out at restaurants..

I’ll bet that was much harder to answer. How is it possible that everybody believes that they are honest yet has a difficult time identifying anyone else with the same characteristics?

I am "honest" in that I focus on accuracy above all else. "honest" sort of implies a moral motivation of sorts, but for me it's more about being maximally correct and not allowing convenient half-truths and misinformation if at all possible.

people IRL though... the reality is like what House says: "everybody lies". I know people that casually lie to manipulate people, I know people that are willfully ignorant to the extreme, I know "yes men" who will say yes to anything as long as it keeps their bosses happy, I know people who twist their perceptions to maintain a false sense of optimism, I know people who are internally bitter conniving people but who present themselves as kind happy people, there's really no end to it.

I'm noticing the ridiculousness of asking someone if they're honest. You might as well ask them "Is the answer you give to this question going to be a lie?"
