Authenticity / honesty

article image placeholderUploaded by @Learningtobeme
You today. I'm talking about a topic called authenticity or being honest in regards with your relationship. Whether it's relationship with your partner, a platonic relationship with your friend or so called, you know, trying to make any relationship work. Why is it that in today's world people are so afraid of being authentic of who you are? Now I understand everybody has plus and minus with them, with their nature, the habits. So what causes people to not be open and honest about it?

But if you were your true self, you will save a lot of people from being heartbroken. You will save a lot of marriages from being dissolved if you be truthful with yourself. And a lot of people are not being truthful with themselves because they are afraid to be judged. And it have a lot to deal with. Childhood drama, trauma, childhood parenting. It have a lot to deal with that. Sometimes they might be sexually assaulted at no one they know. They keep it to themselves

I think if you can just feel complete and whole within yourself and anybody else, whether it's a partner or a friend or a family member, can aid in that wholeness where you come together as two whole beings. I think it's better than seeking that companionship in whatever facet to be your anchor? I don't know

That should be a point where the person, either of them should come up front and be open about it. That's where people are lacking to understand of exactly you are responsible for your own happiness. And also in the same time, when you are coming together with another individual, you are also dragging them into your scenarios, whether they're good or bad. So it becomes your responsibility to share that with them before taking things so further, because truth will come out eventually

But what I don't accept is where you try to perceive or show people that you got it together and you don't. Because the person that you love or the people that are in your close circle are the ones that suffer, not the people that you're trying to be fake with
