These are the hardest to find. There is a huge difference between want and need. They are the ones that truly care.

I'm too honest and I don't hold back! Always!

Awwww, tell me what I want to hear,pretty please? LOL

@nvrnuff what would you like to hear? Lol

@MichelleGar1 Well let's see....... That you found a big bag of 100 dollar bills and you're coming over for dinner to split it with me.Then Netflix and chill.

@nvrnuff I found a big bag of $100 dollar bills, I am coming over for dinner to split it with you, then we can Netflix and chill!

Ta da!!!! Lol

@MichelleGar1 LMAO, if it wasn't a lie, I'd be a very happy man right about now.

@nvrnuff LMAO

@nvrnuff I just told you what you wanted to hear!

@MichelleGar1 That you did, touche'

@nvrnuff as I curtsey and bow! Lol

There is no such thing as being “too honest”. There is tactful and tactless, but honest is honest.

@Darrellin559 true, but some people can find honesty tactless.

@MichelleGar1 The people that only want you to say what they want to hear are not people you should bother having a conversation with.

Very true, but in my experience, most only want to listen when they hear what they want to hear.

I've had that criteria for a long time.

Depends on who from and how presented I think.
You just met me or worse, online, and think to tell me what I "need" , knowing nothing of who I am or where I've been ...?
I might tell you to fuck off.
Close friend with knowledge of all the above ?
I'll listen.

This is referring to someone that you have known for awhile in that you would want to keep them around because they care, not to tell you what you should or shouldn't do.

I'm which case I'd listen.

Good point, sir

It is hard to find because most of us only hear what we want to hear, whenever someone telling us what we need to hear, we get offended like an idiot. Most of us rather live in a delusional live, like to hear what lie that make us feel good instead of what can we do to fix our problems.

This is how I try to be; but combined with caring.

Yes so true but hard to swallow sometimes, especially when you are in a toxic relationship and your friends say you should leave it.

but as they say, you can't see the trees when you are in the forest. Getting opinions from outside sources that know you well enough to tell you what they feel might be to your better interest and make you happier if they are seeing things in you from how you used to be.. if that makes sense. That is how I would read this post to be for a situation like yours.

When you are in a toxic relationship, You have to look who is the one doing the toxic. most would just blame the other.

@mistymoon77 You are right, however it doesn't necessary have to be someone who knows you at all. If you explain the situation most/some people can point things out to you that you don't see. Actually it is sometimes better if it is a stranger, often your friends do not want to say anything because they are afraid of loosing your friendship.

@mistymoon77, @TuyTran888 Well, that can be so but most women usually think that they are to blame at least in the beginning when their eyes have not been opened.

@mistymoon77 Yes a different opinion is always good, even when it is one that you do not like. We all have to look at ourselves too and not only blame others.

We need more people who believe in that saying...

But in reality they send you packing.

Then they really didn't care then did they.

And we can turn this around too, How about those that just want hear what they want to hear, instead of what they need to hear. How narcissistic and self-center can they be?

Yes, those people are narcissistic if all they are want from you is what they want to hear, not to get into politics but that is how Trump is.. we are seeing this time and time again and can learn from those mistakes.

@mistymoon77 What Trump is what we called pernicious effect of our little want instead of need.

Yes, don't listen to people who scratch where you itch. better a cruel truth than a beautiful lie.
