Do you believe people are inherently honest, or inherently dishonest?

Does that belief, in turn, change how honest you are? Does it change how much of your inner true self you are willing to reveal to someone else? Does it change how you respond when you hear the I Love You's in life?

People are both. And it doesn't make me any less honest nor hide who I am. I am me, always, because what I do today I'll have to sleep with tonight and I sleep very peacefully.
I don't like the I love you thing because to me, it's smothering and exhausting. Unless it's coming from true friends or family. From experience, a man saying I love you interprets to "I'm needy and clingy" :(

@Tumbleweed It doesn't make me less who I am either, but it does keep me from letting anyone in.

@LadyBronte Same. And I'm ok with it. It makes me feel safe.
