Sunday Poser # 80

About me, My question, Sunday Poser

Welcome back to another Sunday Poser

This week my question is;

How truthful are you?

To be honest, not many would admit to telling lies/fibs. But we all do. It’s either to save our skin/dignity or to save others from being hurt or humiliated.

I do tell fibs when I think an honest opinion will hurt someone’s feelings. Or sometimes I do it when I’ve forgotten to do something and don’t want to be scolded for it. But mostly my brain and tongue overtake my desire to be prudent and I blurt out the truth and sometimes it has even more dire consequences than telling the truth. Like saying something that would’ve better be left unsaid or telling others what I think about their dress, shoes, etc, and offending them.

What about you? Do you always tell the truth or can you tell a white lie to save the situation?

Please share your thoughts in the comments section or you can write your own post and link it to this one so that I can find it.

As usual, thanks of visiting and reading.

I am writing to express my opinion, share my experiences and to maybe provide some insight. My blog is addressing women at 50 ( but men are welcome to read my posts) ,their issues and the questions that come up at this stage in life. I don’t aim to teach, but to learn together.

  4. I’m quite truthful if I offer my opinions but a lot of the time I keep my views to myself.
    Barefaced lies are usually things like “your hair looks wonderful, dear”, when the truth is more “you think I care?”

  8. I speak my truth mostly, though there are times when my truth is of a personal nature, or would confuse someone I am working with. In these situations, I improvise, code for a small untruth, which is usually correlated to the truth in some way. Excellent question, Sadje.

  12. We all tell dibs, no denying that, but I’d rather say nothing than actually lie, though my husband argues that’s lying by omission

  13. I lie occasionally, when necessary for my mental/emotional health. Other times I may simply omit things when answering a question and/or exaggerate for effect. I am a fiction writer after all! 😂

  18. I often speak truth and it becomes difficult for me and people consider me rude.Great post ❤. And it is also true that sometimes we should not speak truth right at the face if it can hurt somebody…

  19. I think like a lot of others, it depends. Like if I could be honest with how I felt about the transphobes on Twitter, I’d get myself banned, lol. I find as I get older though, I don’t have time to lie about important things anymore. It’s a time waster. But little white lies, and if the truth could be harmful, I will watch what I say.

  20. I, like many, tell little white lies to spare feelings at times. I TRY to be as honest as possible but there are times I feel the need to protect those I care about from undue stress or pain. But they are all just little fibs.
