In reply to is complete honesty essential?, posted by DustBuster on February 11, 2005, at 20:32:35
You might feel that way now...
But you might change your mind over time.
You might come to see that talking about it with someone could help.
And that you trust them enough to be able to talk about it with them.Complete honesty is probably the ideal...
But it can take a while to want to get there...
And then it can take a while to get there...I find there are degrees of stuff I don't want to talk about. Some of it I think 'no way' and some of it I just find Very Uncomfortable. If I share a little tiny bit of the Very Uncomfortable then it doesn't feel so Very uncomfortable any more. I think trust is something that comes over time. if little risks turn out okay then bigger risks can seem smaller. Does that make sense?
