Agreed! However, I get the impression from some comments on this thread that some feel that ANYTHING other than being completely transparent with your feelings toward others (extreme application of Fi?) counts as being "fake". Honestly, while complete transparency would have some advantages for sure - and I think more transparency in some situations than most people are willing to show would be a good thing - I don't think it's all that tenable in an awful lot of situations.
Yeah, the issue is that we don't live in a black and white world like some of these comments seem to paint of a picture. What we say and do have direct and indirect consequences. It is good to be more transparent when the time calls for it, but in other situations, being less transparent is a must. It doesn't mean that we are being "fake," because we also live in shades of grey and shades of many other colors. Being transparent is only one of the many variables that people should look at when interacting with people.
Do I yell at a kid for not knowing how to multiply and divide? Do I tell this kid that he is stupid for not knowing how to? Do I tell this kid how to multiply and divide instead of yelling at him for not knowing how to do so? I am being truly transparent for telling the kid that he is stupid - it is his feelings and not mines right?
Do I call out a co-worker in front of everyone for not doing his job? Or do I talk to the boss, in private, about this co-worker (and thus having some tact on the way I go about things.)
Do I tell someone that they suck - even though I also like the person?
Do I want to worry others by saying that I am having a horrible time?
Do I lie to others by saying I am having the best of times?
There are many ways to go about things that aren't completely transparent, doesn't mean it is any less real or "fake."
