Being TOO Honest?
#6
The eggs thing, I'd have either lied or brushed over it (ie feigned ignorance). I'm a person who heavily values honesty, and finds most people disgustingly comfortable with lying, but over the years I've learned the high value of tact and when to save others' feelings. When it's related to subjective opinions especially (attractiveness, is this thing I made good or bad, am I stupid, and so on). Sometimes truth can be helpful, but oftentimes it's really unhelpful. Very few people have the confidence and self-worth to take unabashed, blunt criticism of themselves or things they've put their heart into and turn that into a positive.

It also depends on a person's state of mind. If a person asks "Does this look good?" of an outfit, from a purely "Hmm ..." emotional standpoint, you might say, yeah or, nah I prefer xyz. But oftentimes the question comes from a place of self-loathing, of feelings of inadequacy, and really the person just wants to believe that they are not a piece of shit. You can often tell by the way it's said. Coming to understand the difference between those two situations and learning how to respond is part of maturing your social intellect.
Curious about me and the characters I play? See the 'Staff' page! See also the rosters for my characters Samus Aran or Enel if you'd like to see examples of well-formatted rosters. Hope you enjoy the Omniverse!
