One of the worst things you can have as a man is surrounded by people who are scared to tell you the truth, which can happen for many reasons. One reason is that maybe they are scared of losing you. After all, most of the time, when you tell people the truth, they take it differently. I have also been in a situation whereby I told my friend the truth, and ever since then, we couldn't get along. I understand that fact. Another reason why people are scared to tell the truth is because they know the kind of person you are.
As a friendship progresses, you tend to gain a deeper understanding of the person, and sometimes you may hold back on expressing your thoughts or opinions, fearing that it may upset them and harm your relationship. However, it is important to remember that honesty is always the best policy, especially when it comes to those we care about. If you truly value your relationship, it's better to communicate the truth. Be direct and tell them if they're doing something wrong, and offer to help them improve. Constructive criticism can go a long way in strengthening a friendship.
If you have a brilliant friend even though the truth hurts, he will still find a way to get over it because he will understand that you are not only criticizing him, you are also telling him the truth, and you want him to be better and the truth most of the time hurt, we often lack people that can tell us the truth about ourselves. When friendship is beneficial or when your relationship is beneficial, people tend to hold back the truth just because they don't want to lose the benefit.
This kind of relationship that we keep makes us feel comfortable most of the time and are those relationships that spoil so many people's careers, at old age they are full of regret, thinking they should have done better with their life and it's not because their flaws are not obvious but because they have people who are not ready to tell them the truth. They are surrounded by people who come only for their benefit, and they don't want them to get better even when they know you are always wrong.
We are often surrounded by people who always tell us yes, and because we are also gullible, we don't normally ask them their sincere opinion, and when they try to question us, we get angry, Instead of listening to them, this set of people just keep quiet and leave us to figure it out. we are also humans, we don't always get it right, or sometimes we might lack the necessary knowledge, we make some terrible mistakes, and the truth is some mistakes you don't always make it out because they are permanent, and even if you get out of it, the damage has already been done.
Sometimes, when you look at influential people they go broke due to their greed and poor investment choices, including shady online deals and accumulating too many liabilities. Additionally, some people in their inner circle may not have their best interests in mind and fail to offer sound advice. These individuals often surround themselves with yes-men who prioritize their own benefit over thoughtful guidance. Despite knowing that they are making poor decisions, they continue to look at the stupidity of these individuals. If their inner circle were in the same position, they may have made better choices. However, instead of offering helpful advice, they choose to preserve their relationships and avoid conflict. Instead of advising them to invest in real estate or cryptocurrency, which could generate profits, they keep watching till you fail.
It's important to be aware of the people in our lives who always agree with everything we say and do, also known as "yes men". True friends are those who want the best for us and will provide sincere feedback. These individuals not only help us improve, but also prevent us from making costly mistakes that could negatively impact our finances, careers, and futures. As humans, we are not perfect and can make mistakes based on our emotions or feelings. Having a support system of people who can offer constructive criticism and keep us accountable is beneficial.

It's really hard to tell our friends the truth because we feel we might be sounding like the one that is better off than them. I remember a time when I tried telling a friend something and he wasn't so happy about it but then he later admitted I was right.
I believe if we don't give up qnd always tell the truth in love, we will save both our relationship and even lives.
Why are we friends if we can't be sincere with each other? We all those who won't be scared to tell us the truth
Well, I can't really say everyone I talk to is my friend because I know I have people that I tell the truth to without the fear of hurting them.
So to those that I find it hard to tell them the truth it is obvious we are not friends.
you might not be friends with them but they are friends with you
Yeah, there are cases like that. I believe we all know what is right and if we fail to do it, then it would be on us
I still don't know why people always said that they are looking for honest people, friends or partners but when they are telling them the truth they can handle it. I mean... I don't get it.
It is crazy, people can be funny because they want honesty but they can't handle the truth
Facts, it doesn't make any sense...
I love this. The honest person you can have as a friend is that person who tells you that you are wrong, who tells you the truth in your face.
It will only make us better and nothing more
I discovered today that it's quite hard to have friends those days... True friendship is such a myth in the ager we are living.
I believe they are still out there but very rare and that is why when we find them we should keep them
Friendship is very rare, but when you got a nice one, you will be happy
Exactly
👍👍👍
Yeah, honesty is indeed the best policy, no matter what situation we find ourselves, we must tell the truth to each other. We should never think that telling a lie to save ourselves or a friend is the best way of escaping trouble, No! It will surely and continually hunt us whenever we ponder over it again. One of the things I hate most is lies, and when I notice one involved in such an act, I distance myself from such a person immediately.
I hate lies too, I believe when you tell me the truth you only want the best for me. If you only say yes to everything I do I will avoid you instantly
The most difficult part of friendship is looking a friend in th eye and tell him the truth regardless the next reaction. In most cases, after the passing of time, most friends come to realize that you actually meant well for them and they will ever be thankful that you didn't hold back nor tell them things they loved to hear.the bond gets stronger after such encounter
Many people don't want to hear the truth particularly when it hurt their feelings. It's good to tell somone we care about the truth even if the truth will hurt their ego. You have said it all that partners are afraid of speaking the truth to each other particularly when they know the truth can cause separation.
The truth can hurt but I feel that it is better to have that than a lie. At least you will know that the person won't betray you for no reason and nobody will fully agree with everything. I think we need to make concessions and reach some negotiation with others.
