Do you think those who refuse to sugarcoat things—the ones who value honesty above all else—ever actually want to be liked when they finally get called out?
It’s easy to just follow the crowd and say whatever everyone else wants to hear just to keep the peace.
It's because we aren't really built to handle the truth. Plus, those "white lies" have become such a staple in our social lives that nobody even calls them lies anymore. We just say what's expected of us to keep the peace and call it a day.
