Does this statement sound familiar? Do you use it, or do you hear it often?
‘To be honest’ suggests that the speaker sharing information does not typically practice honesty in their daily lives. If you say it, should I question all your previous comments? How much simpler could it be if we were consistently honest? No second guessing and no malintent. Straightforward, simple, and obvious.
Being candid does not suggest that one needs be mean, disrespectful, or a jerk. Instead, one can be kind, caring, and direct and be appreciated and sought after for just that.
