Honesty

[–] StarvingMartist@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (2 children)

This is the obvious one, but going a little further into it, what does honesty look like? Presenting their true self without shame? (Which could be abrasive to some) Or always telling the truth even if it makes others uncomfortable? Or just doing their best not to decieve others?

For me I think its the first one (presenting your true self) that makes someone genuine, moreso than never telling a lie.

Being truthful to one's own statements without being an ass.
