How honest are you on the internet (and in real life)?

[Splashee 28,537]

I have to be honest here and other places that have heavy moderation and rules to follow.

But I do sometimes sink to a troll level in YouTube, when I know the comments or video will be taken down anyways. Why not mess with that?

[Kadae 655]

I wear my heart on my sleeve, honesty all 'round! I don't divulge overly personal things unless there's an inquiry into that sort of thing however.

[Sonic Shimmer 4,116]

I always tell the truth.

I think honesty is the best policy, on here and irl. Even if it hurts the person, I'll still be honest.

[Clawdeen 12,110]

What you get online is what you’ll get in person. A bit more awkward since I can’t plan out what I want to say before saying it but the same.

When it comes to honesty and situations how honest I am depends on the situation and the person. 
 

“Does this outfit make me look fat?” Or “Am I ugly?” Will never be answered with a yes. I’m not that person and I won’t be that person. 

Not only that jobs come into play here as well. When I worked retail do you really think I cared if a terrible customer threatened to never come back? No. Please never shop here again. Save all of our sanity and shop online at home.

However due to my job I had to pretend to really care about that person not giving us their business. 

 

[Chadbacca 375]

I try to keep my facts straight and stay honest as best as I can.

[Izaac 5]

i am a beacon of honesty

yes

[TBD 17,228]

I’m pretty honest and blunt online and offline. I speak whatever’s on my mind for any necessary reasons.

[Izaac 5]

i'm usually honest because i don't really care what people think of me

[Dreambiscuit 8,139]

I’m honest. In fact I often say more than I should. There’s no point in being dishonest because it’s too much work to tell a lie and maintain it. I sometimes withhold something if I consider it embarrassing or inappropriate, but that’s not the same as a lie; it’s just not telling a truth (or anything at all).

Well said, the same is true for me.

[IronM17 5,145]

For me, there are two things. Things I am not afraid to tell and where I am really honest about it (maybe a little bit to honest sometimes) and things which are personal secfrets no one outside of my direct private surroundings should know (like my private adresse or how much money I own or what ever).

@Dreambiscuit

Yeah I have the same problem. I try to avoid posting anything private that I wouldn't tell strangers since that's what posting publicly is basically. I'll share private details in messages obviously but I try to keep publicized posts clear of stuff like addresses and the like. I do sometimes talk about my life publicly on here but that's a little different from sharing stuff like a home address. I'm usually very honest about everything on here but I might omit some details here and there since some details I prefer to not be publicized. 

[Reality Check 627]

I'm not exactly to be afraid to honest with others, though I usually only tell when someone asks for said info

[daviddaviddavid 772]

I'm honest, but I'm private. I try to never lie about things, but that doesn't mean I'll always rush to tell people every detail about everything either. If withholding information is seen as a type of lie, then I suppose I do that from time to time when the situation warrants - but I would only ever flagrantly lie if doing so was clearly the lesser evil, e.g. "Does this outfit make me look fat" as someone said above

That’s the truth, Dreamy. 

[Reiki Knight 13 1,491]

I'm very honest, you ask me a question I will almost never lie on here or in real life. You may not like the answer but it will be honest one. 

[EpicEnergy 22,195]

I'm very honest, and I hate telling lies because they always seem to make things worse.

[Winter Storm 207]

I find I'm a lot more honest on the internet at least within certain circles. Real life I have to appear to be normal.

[Theautisticrebel 291]

I'm pretty honest both online and IRL.

[Kantet 166]

I don’t distribute some information about myself on the Internet, so I’m not very honest

[TBD 17,228]

I’m pretty honest and blunt on both online and real life. However, I tend to keep myself contained a bit more in real life since not everything I would say will be everyone’s cup of tea. And I myself like to avoid any trouble as much as I possibly can. Unfortunately sometimes my mouth just run faster than my brain telling me to “ignore it”. 

[Tao 6,754]

It depends on the subject,  I've been called "blunt" in RL a lot given how I see and phase things (also retail many many a moons), and have left a bit edged on topics.  It also depends on ppl reactions, but I always try to keep my honest idea on anything,  even if it might upset some ppl.   Thing is,  you can't tip-toe in life all the time and not grow as a person.  

[Ryuuko 146]

i try to be as open and honest as possible. honesty without kindness tends to be hostility, though, so balancing the two can be seen as an art.

[Twitchy-Tremor 282]

 I can be a bit sarcastic and joke about stuff to lighten the mood but I don’t lie much ever.
