So today I thought, “Hey, let me try being totally honest with people. What could go wrong?”
Yeah. Everything. Everything could go wrong.
I told someone their playlist wasn’t really my vibe. Suddenly I’m “emotionally unavailable with poor taste.”
I admitted to my boss that I didn’t fully understand the meeting. Now I’m invited to five more meetings to “get clarity.”
Even told my cat he doesn’t pay rent—he looked me dead in the eyes and knocked a glass off the table. Respectfully.
So yeah. Honesty? Cool concept. Terrible in practice. I think I’ll go back to smiling politely and saying “hmm, interesting” while dying inside.
