Everyone in my family is very honest and I raised that way so the habit has stuck with me since. I am now 19. I have always been an honest,smart, happy person and I think being honest makes me enjoy life more. I enjoy simple things in life much more than the average person it seems like music, nature, food, and just sitting around I can even be content doin that. People I always tell me I give them a good vibe and have very "glowing", "honest" pretty eyes like they've never seen. I seem to have a problem with friends because it seems like none of them have been raised with honesty like I am. I feel like they constantly act like jackasses, lie, fuck people over, do drugs, and as a result are miserable (but they claim they act this way because they aren't so ecstatic in the first place so don't care) It's almost like i can see the sadness and mess in there eyes..like they're dead. They all believe that there most likely isn't a god and life is a shitty mistake. It seems like not even my friends but most people at school are like this too. I feel like they think I'm weird because I'm a content, honest person and feel I stand out. I feel thety are weird and me and my family that act the same way are normal.

    To me honesty and enjoying the simple pleasures of life feel very normal,too. I'm often told that my eyes are very bright as well. It sounds like you're around some rough people, though, with drugs etc. If they grew up in tough sort of circumstances, it's likely they developed a defensive kind of attitude for self-protection and learned that for them honesty isn't always the best policy. It all depends what you're used to. Don't change to adapt to the majority. Just accept that there are differences.

    Most people (like yourself, for example), even the ones that You judge as dishonest, believe that they are honest and kind.

    There's nothing lovely about expressing your superiority over your peers though, so maybe your not as awesome as you think you are.

    first off, you cant say that you are honest with a good consience and say that god exists so lets just get that out of the way because deep down we both know that god is a load of bullshit. i dont mean to crap on your feelings but at some point we all have to face the truth and the truth is that being honest isnt the way the world works. the world is fucked up on a major degree (if god existed idc how badly he wants to "test" us, he would have made things at least a LITTLE bit better by now but thats not my point) the world runs on dishonesty and corporate greed and just plain greed. there is unfourtunately no place in this world for a happy honest person. dont get me wrong, i think your way of living is the best way to live, but the rest of the world only thinks of themselves and they just dont give a shit about honesty and being good. keep being the good, happy, honest person that you are but just know this, the nice guy always finishes last it is a sad but inevitable truth. dont be disapointed if when you die you realize that this entire time you have been living a lie.

    It sounds like you are a bit conceited and think you are better than everyone else.

    Misery loves company, that's why they think you are weird....sounds like you have it together and there's nothing wrong with being proud about it and recognizing dysfunction and lack of productivity when you see it....cease contact with these people, plain and simple...they say you are the company that you keep....so bring yourself up another notch and find yourself some friends that have it together, and that can reciprocate happiness and positive energy....

    I'm an honest person........... well.... not so much...

    I'm more an honourable person who has some old misplaced sense of honour.

    I can easily lie and do but the honour side of me results that I am one of the "honest people". I don't act like a jackass, I don't fuck people over, humiliating or teasing or backstabbing... just... there's no reason. I will get nothing out of it, and even if I did that is wrong.

    I find bitching odd, however one of the things people find a bit shocking about me is that even though I have very little criticism of people... I will call people out... and I will do it in front of them to their face... This is calling them out on their attitude towards people, their methodology or if I think their lying or being a douche.

    One person went on a 5 minute rant about my best friend being a little weakling and how his girlfriend (also a friend of mine) was both ugly and was a bitch.
    I told my best friend. He confronted him, I stood nearby. And this person I swear shit himself in fear. He denied it outright and in front of all his friend I simply said "are you calling me a fucking liar?" and all his friends just frowned at him.

    I simply said, in future how about you try bullshitting less, and don't bullshit about someone to their best friend.

    I don't see the point in drinking or the other shit too. People don't need to do it so why do it?

    I don't think honesty is a common trait. I don't mean to be rude, but yuo have to look at the world as a whole, and not olny yourself and your friends. There are so many horrible, lying people out there. I believe that you probably ARE a good, honest person, but a lot of people aren't
    It makes me sad to have to say so.

    I tell the truth with my mouth and lie with my body.

      truth is subjective opinion, no matter what orifice it comes out of...

        That is solipsistic. If anything is genuinely real, than truth can both exist and be known. Apples did not suspend themselves in mid-air awaiting men to discover gravity.

          Solipsism is a bit extreme, don’t you think? But I think extremism is what you were going for and that makes for more interesting conversation.

          Nietzsche said “Why does man not see things? He is himself standing in the way”. Truth is subjective and open to interpretation when we take into consideration what we perceive through our own personal lenses and personal experiences, personal observations; the pieces of the physical world we are able to capture within the limitations of our own personal senses at various points in time; what we “learn and accept and absorb” as truths/facts that we repeat and pass on to each generation via diverse country and culture systems that influence and dictate our education and the media we are exposed to….

          there is no 100% certainty of any "truth" that either comes from our mouths, from the mouths of others, or in the physical world… case in point--people are currently questioning the ‘truths and illusions’ fed to us by our screwed up economic, political and educational systems…

            I make it a point to shatter every lens that I stumble upon. No odd hues, no skewed dimensions, no mustaches, no bunny ears... if I could find truth, life wouldn't be so bad.
