Which would you choose?

A comforting lie, or a painful truth?

As I’ve grown older, I’ve realized that I’d rather be hurt than lied to ☹

A painful truth. I'd rather people be honest with me than lie, it's more painful.

Well, painful truths don't actually hurt. They help you accept truth and prepare for that. Ignoring truth can really be painful in future.

Ashly · 26-30, F

@ABCDEF7 they hurt for a bit, but they’re meant to help you learn in the end

ABCDEF7 · M

@Ashly They only hurt when you expect everything to be going good.

@thepreposterouspanda were two peas in a pod 🫛

I don’t talk a lot compared to my friends but my mind goes a mile a minute 🫣

thepreposterouspanda · 36-40, M

@Ashly I'm usually pretty quiet too unless I know the person I'm talking to is actually interested in what I'm saying. Usually though, it's all up in my head.

Especially at this point, I've just spent too much time alone and I forgot how to connect with people haha.

Ashly · 26-30, F

@thepreposterouspanda I see, I just feel that people talk way too much without actually saying anything of value 😒

Better to be alone than to be surrounded by people who make you feel alone ☹

I’ll pray for you Panda 🐼

Justmeraeagain · 56-60, F

Painful,sometimes yes, but it's painful to not know where you stand as well and even more painful to realize they didn't mean a word of those "sweet little lies"

@NerdyPotato it looks complex
I can barely manage to find diamonds or survive the mobs 😂

NerdyPotato · M

@Ashly that was a challenge for me too in the beginning. Thank goodness for keepInventoryOnDeath!

Ashly · 26-30, F

@NerdyPotato I’ll need to watch tutorials then lol

Pfuzylogic · M

I’ve always gone by the truth no matter what the consequence. At this stage in my life, entertaining a lie might be fun but inconsistent for me.

smiler2012 · 61-69

@Ashly 🤔bad as something may be it can best too take the harsh honest reality of this rather than the watered downed option

ineedadrink · 51-55, M

It depends on the situation. The more serious the issue, the more the need for truth.

Ashly · 26-30, F

@ineedadrink that’s true, white lies aren’t that bad? I guess? 😅

Turtlepower · 36-40, M

Depends from whom and about what. Generally speaking I'd rather the truth though

DownTheStreet · 56-60, M

Most lies end up with a painful truth, so I’d rather take the truth up front

Mmiker · 46-50, M

Absolutely without a doubt. Painful truth means we’re growing too.

Kiesel · 56-60, M

Always the truth, no matter how painful it may be

Ashly · 26-30, F

@Kiesel same here sir ☹

MarbleMarvel

Give me the pain. I can't take anymore lies.

Ashly · 26-30, F

@lovingdead Truth hurts, but at least the healing process can begin after

lovingdead · 31-35, M

@Ashly exactly. I've wasted lifetimes on peoples lies, maybes, what ifs and if onlys

BrandNewMan · M

Truth no matter .. had enough of the other to last me

i'm almost 40 yo and it took me too long to learn this

Easy choices, hard life. Hard choices, easy life.

my marriage was falling apart, my career was abusive and toxic, and my depression was spiraling out of control

quit my job, quick divorce, got therapy, retrained for a new career and started my own business

11 years later i'm back on my feet and loving life
