Brunette Stripped Bare

I seem to be the only one in this world who wants people to be honest with me.

I often get in trouble for speaking my mind a little too quickly, or for telling people how I see a situation. That’s because I tell it how I really see it, not a bucket full of bullshit. I prefer that people do the same with me too. Even when I say that, I honestly mean it! I’m sick of people who think they want the truth, then get in a mad sulk about things when you tell them what’s really on your mind.

I feel like there’s only a couple of people in my life who I can trust to really put it out there for me… my husband, my dad, and a couple of people at work. It kinda concerns me that I don’t have anyone in my circle of friends who I feel does that for me. Maybe the politics in that area of my life is too precariously balanced to expect anyone to want to upset it? I just think it’s disappointing that two work colleagues have more true, deep honesty than some of my closest friends. What a strange situation! I really want someone to say to me now and then “fuck, what the hell are you wearing, that’s two hundred degrees of grossness. Try harder next time!”. Diplomacy is over-rated, especially amongst friends who have been together since primary school!
