Why you can't trust honest people
The truth and nothing else. All the background is in the palm of your hand. Nothing is a secret. And people who tell everything are proud of their honesty. They think it is their power, others remain ignorant. But here's the paradox: people who talk cannot be trusted.
Honesty is a flexible concept. Being honest is one thing, but being honest about the details of your private life is something else. Not only does it not interest anyone, but it harms your own peace of mind.
With such honest partners, however, nothing happens. Manipulators don't stick with them and don't use them, and what they say is hard to use against them. In fact, it is not possible at all.
The reason is simple: they are both honest and dishonest. Behind their apparent honesty they hide many interesting things. Things that can really hurt them. Behind the endless stream of empty details lies something real, invisible and carefully guarded.
What is most interesting is the single-mindedness with which they launch their stream of consciousness at others. It is simple. They want you to believe and trust them. This seems obvious until you ask: why do they need it?
Therein lies the trick.
Trust is the safest way to gain access to all of another person's secrets. Every day they tell you their family life story, you listen to it, you immerse yourself and then gently begin to share it yourself. First you tell the little things, then you get excited and tell the whole truth. Then you add more details. Before you know it, this stranger knows more about you than you know. He achieved one of his goals.
The next goal is manipulation. If you yourself have willingly told him everything, and even made a habit of telling him every day - well, how can you resist? Impossible. Even if the goal wasn't to manipulate or pull strings, you just take everything.
Another goal: connect with yourself. Some people can only make friends because they have nothing to offer others except meaningless chatter. They are not interesting. And through the "me for you - you for me" mechanism they give the impression of friendship, to which they cling with all their might.
Yes, these are the friends who call unexpectedly and talk for hours about the day. If they can't spare the time, they record endless voice messages, send funny pictures, etc. They have enough energy to run a small power plant.
There is another category of such sincere people. They are people with mental disorders. They do not distinguish between the private and public sector. They say what they think. But they are only a few. And they are the only ones who are truly honest.
The most dangerous game of honesty is played by those who hide serious dirt behind it. Perhaps their conscience bothers them, perhaps they are ashamed of what they have done, but they are afraid to admit something for which they must be held accountable, so they confess everything else. Absolutely everything.
From them you will hear the epic story of the temporary confiscation of the fist without permission, unbeknownst to you, and its triumphant return. You will hear a million apologies and vows that this will never happen again, under any circumstances. Unfortunately, however, no one will be honest about the money going through the company's accounts. Or anything else.
Truth for truth. This slogan is said or implied by those who are too honest with you. Stay away from them. You don't want their truth. Keep it to yourself.

This is so true. They open up to you and make you feel comfortable enough to open up to them and even share your most private information with them but they won't share their own most private informations with you
