Surround Yourself With People Who Are Honest, There Is No Question Who They Really Are
I am a blunt person, anyone who knows me will agree with you. I just don’t see the point in pretending to be something I am not, either physically, spiritually or mentally. People in my life either find this to be refreshing or insulting.
Fake PEOPLE are incredibly uncomfortable around blunt personalities. They live in a squishy bubble and protect themselves by insulating that bubble with this imaginary layer that they want others to see. A fake person views an honest person as an enemy with a sharp object that is threatening to pierce through their layer.
I see this all of the time when it comes to people who are insecure. They are scared to death to be around someone who is not afraid to be honest and call it like it is. Nothing is scarier than having someone else be able to see through your layer, let alone expose that layer to others, so they ensure that the honest blunt person is the enemy.
If you become the enemy of a fake persons hold on for the ride because part of their issue is they are not comfortable being alone and will recruit everyone around them into a circle of gossip so that they overcome their insecurity with the approval of others. In a need to be accepted they will often exaggerate or twist things ever so slightly to their favor in order to make you look bad.
Is it worth giving up your authentic honest self to “fit” in or have more friends? I would rather be the most hated person on the block that not be true to myself.
I know who really has my back and who is more interested in gaining ground for themselves. Not the kind of person I ever want by myside in battle.
