    I always tell the truth.. my mum used to say she knew when i was lying. I believed her and now I think everyone knows when I lie.. so I don't.. I'd rather tell the truth even if it's painful to me to have to say it.  I say it as gently as I can but I believe it's a mark of respect to the other person to tell the truth rather than a lie.

    As far as reporting my own experiences yes.  I don't report falsehoods.  But we might well disagree on what the "truth" is in many cases.

    OK not sure what that is supposed to mean.  Don't we all have our own facts?  If you decide to label my experiences as "false" then what basis is there at all for any interaction?  I might as well not exist to you.

    Negative on not existing...  These words were spoken (YEARS AGO) when referring to a gov. scandal.

    I pretty much tell the truth because lying is too much trouble. But, to me, kindness is the most important quality to have, so being 'brutally honest' is just not in my nature.
