Did you ever lie to someone to protect them from an ugly truth? What was it?

Nah, I have no time for lies and can be blunt. When I want to protect someone I don't say anything or I divert if asked.

Doesn't that make them realize you're keeping something from them?

Hmm... If they do, they don't say anything. Maybe I'm a natural... Or maybe I'm blunt more often than I think I am 🤔

I think there is a lot of overlap between people who are too self-absorbed to notice an ugly truth on their own, and people who are too self-absorbed to notice you deflecting the conversation back to them rather than answer the question :-p

That sounds like a fair point.

Truth first. Always.

No. I say the truth and burn if I must. If nothing else it becomes obvious who likes you.

Have you lost any friends over being honest?

No.

Damn I don't even remember but if that were to happen nowadays I would just tell him the truth
