Have you ever changed your hair color and when you go to work the next day everyone tells you it looks good when you ask and then a couple months later you go back to the original color and everyone tells you they much prefer it that way? Or have you ever fallen in love with an article of clothing and wear it so often you wear it out and when a friend asks you where its gone and you tell them it has a hole and you can’t wear it anymore they say “Oh thank goodness cause it was not flattering on you”? WTF friends!!!
My friends appreciate that no matter what they are asking me they will get an honest opinion. If you cut your hair and I don’t think it looks amazing, I won’t tell you it’s ugly but I will tell you I prefer how it looked before. If we are trying on clothes at a store, I will tell you if something doesn’t look good no matter how much you may like it. Would people prefer I keep my mouth shut?
I was at Shoppers Drug Mart a couple months ago with a friend and there was a lady there threading people’s eyebrows and we decided to get ours done. I asked my friend how my eyebrows looked before hand and if I should get the lady to change the shape or just clean them up and she said, “you’re eyebrows are quite bushy, this will help”! My eyebrows had looked the same for a long time!!!! Why hadn’t she told me this before? Why had my good friend allowed me to walk around with man eyebrows?
Okay, I don’t actually think they were horrible bushy man eyebrows, but she instantly said that they were bushy, like this was a thought that had previously crossed her mind and she had just never said anything to me, but why? Are most people just nicer than me and more sensitive to hurting others feelings if they are honest? I’d say probably!
But I guess that’s okay with me. I like being the friend that people come to when they aren’t sure about something because they know they will get an honest answer. I like being known for always telling the truth no matter what the circumstance. I like showing people the sometimes harsh reality of a situation. So you liars just keep it up, you are give me a reason to keep doing what I do, others need me!
Okay – I just have to say I dont think your eyebrows are bush. Maybe compared to your teen years they are bushy…. basically as a teen they were non existent….
But yes. Its like me iwth dark hair. You dont like it. That is okay.
I think sometimes people make the mistake of asking the questions they don’t want answers to… when really it should just be known that they are looking for validation and friendly assurance that their not-so-great decision was the best. I think your honesty and their validity are both reasonable. But if someone just wants you to be supportive than they shouldn’t ask the questions, they should just ask you to listen.
Keep being the truth teller that you are <3 and the rest of us will work on defining what it is we truly want from our conversation and insecure questioning hehe
For the record, I think you have beautiful eyebrows. You got dad’s and Marie and Kylie got mine (poor girls!). I agree that you should tell the truth but it needs to be said in a loving and respectful manner (this is not an indication that you don’t do that). Remember that even though you are speaking what you believe to be true it can be hurtful and you want to inflict as little grief as possible during your time on earth.
What I hate the most though, is when I have a big goober in my eye and I`ve been with people all day and not one person thought to point it out. That what friends are for – goober in the eye and booger in the nose patrol!
I do love how you pick the most random things to talk about…there is always some remark in there that I can totally hear you saying or picture you saying to “someone” else..I love your honesty and wouldn’t want ya any other way.
I think your next topic should be on how good you are at predicting bra sizes…….hahahahahahaha
hahah you know i am always honest with you my love !!!
