I have realized that almost everything I say is sugar-coated, wretched, or manipulative in nature. Everything. I have also realized that blunt honesty can be just as helpful as encouragement.
This may seem like a no-brainer, but it opens up many, many possible explanations as to why our culture is the way it is, and why I need to change.
-Most of the time, we must avoid stepping on people's toes because we are afraid of conflict.
-But why are we afraid of conflict? Was it manifested by childhood experiences? Is it ingrained into our very nature as human-beings?
-Have we developed self-censorship as a species because we cannot handle the truth that everything is faulty, and we are often powerless to change it?
I have been lying to myself and those around me because I can't even handle the truth.
I don't even want to add emoticons to this thread, because I know that they are simply tools used to manipulate the psyches of readers.
I'm extremely tempted to add a "cry" emote here. NO!
I am putting this in the NF section because it seems that we are the most susceptible to use interpersonal manipulation.
