Can you be honest with yourself ?

Always. I wasn't when I was younger and after I lost someone very important to me I changed. I started with first being honest with myself and then with everyone else. I lost people after that but it was an important life change.

Since then I've decided to just keep it that way bc tactful honesty is so much easier than keeping up with a bunch of deception and nonsense. It made my life so much easier and helps me get over myself faster.

Initially it tells you when you are not true to yourself. If you continue to ignore it, it will someday stop telling you. If you continue to listen and think over it and correct yourself after listening, it continues to tell you where you are going wrong.

So, I started to listen, and later tried to correct also. Now there are very less(almost no) instances when it makes me realise I am going wrong.

This doesn't mean, I can't lie to you or I will not hide something from you. I have a different approach towards that. But yes, I will not lie to hurt somebody.

i only lie to myself about how i look...never about how i am or what i can do

Yes! And I am 100% behind you all the way.

I'm more honest with myself than I see anyone else being with themselves. I do a lot of shadow work, which requires complete honesty and vulnerability. It's the only way to grow through my early-childhood trauma issues.

I was my own worst critic...until I joined this site, seems there's one or two who don't like my opinions round these parts but that's ok nobody has yet come up with a good enough argument to make me question myself. Having said that I do enjoy the discussion (usually).

I could check every box and not be lieing on this one. I think I am generally. Certainly have my moments with the rest though, some is wanting the fantasies in my mind to be true

If their's something wrong in your life, don't blame others because the first port of call is one self to fix it

That’s something you learned to do overtime as you grow older you can accept yourself for who you are with your flaws and sins .

But even Shakespeare didn't know why H is silent in honesty .. when asked would he say onestly I don't know..?

I'm honest with myself, but I will openly lie to myself to fit my narrative while knowing my destiny

I don't believe in truth, just different frames of perspective.

For the most part. Doesn’t mean I like it

Keeping in mind even 1% honesty fits then yes.

It's not very hard to do

I'm very honest with myself.

As much as I can be

Sometimes.

I seem to always call myself out on lying to myself. All day that other voice in my head is dying 'look what you did. we know the truth. liar. you know, youre not that clever. stop it. Its obvious. stop trying to fool ourself"
...Unless it's my lie I tell me where I praise myself a treat for doing something I hate. I let me believe that one.
