Is there any correlation between loneliness and being honest?

Coming in on the tail end......

Hi I agree honesty is the best policy. Not everyone can be but I feel that when you lie you have to keep telling them to cover up the first. Question though....How is it possible to be in a room with someone and they make you feel like you are not there? Secondly, is it not because of our own insecurities that we allow people to treat us in ways that result in loneliness and sadness?

if you take into consideration what han19 said, I believe you could still be happier with your wife around you. After all, it depends on your attitude.

So you are saying that loneliness is purely based on how we react to a particular situation? I can't agree more with this view point.

It's not necessary that honesty and loneliness are correlated.loneliness can also be a state of mind. You can have all your friends around you, and yet feel lonely because you don't want to reach out at that time. You can be honest and yet be respected by people around you and enjoy people's company.

People have a penchant to draw correlations between two or more independent events or phenomenon..but most often than not it is just to pamper themselves for their 'sense of analysis'...they feel happy to do it, for no reason.

Look up this thread of mine where some more of human traits are discussed..

I would like to treat the correlation between honesty and loneliness as a serious matter. After all, everybody has their unique opinion on how this subject should be treated.

and yeah... varying degree of possibilities could be imagined in this particular situation.

PA, Any thought could be treated as serious or otherwise as what you want to make out of it. Its all your interpretation again.

If you ask me, people, by their deliberate role plays of honest and dishonest acts could find a way either to be lonely or amongst 'friends'

or, you could say, loneliness could help someone to be honest or even dishonest, depending on how he chalked out his plan to get rid of it..

so, the possibilities are many.

Relation between these two independent variables are open to interpretations..could be this way or that.

The thought was a random one, so let it pass off :)

Well, there might be some connection between these two in certain situations, but in general, there is no direct correlation between loneliness and honesty.

they're different..

Being alone is good at times, while Loneliness at any time isn't good...

I still maintain that there is a correlation between Honesty and Loneliness, but that depends on the samples... for eg: if u keep company of people who are insensitive to you, then surely you will be lonely coz they won't understand you. Likewise, if people appreciate your honesty, there is no reason why you should feel lonely.

As a generalist statement-yes; there is a slight correlation between those two.. but if you look at it subjectively, then there's lot more to explore in studying the correlation.

are you saying that honesty and loneliness are not related?

By agentpaper• 9 Dec 2011 12:43
agentpaper

and loneliness?

one thing is for sure loneliness is part of human life, like happiness everything has it's own time..time to be happy time, to be sad.. time to rain, time to shine

Honesty depends on you if you use it to yourself or others while it may result for being lonely or happy.

Human beings, as social animals, need to be tell lies in order to survive.

If you tell the truth, people will hate you for who you are. Therefore, you may flatter them with lies. The more you flatter, the more chance of them including in their social circle. On the other hand, if you bluntly tell the truth on their face, the more chance of them ignoring us. In my opinion, such kind of social behavior is called hypocrisy.

Darwin's 'survival of the fittest' theory can be applied here.In other words, hypocrisy is a basic survival instinct.

Here's a simplified correlation:

Be Honest and tell the truth no one wants to hear.. And since no one wants to hear the truth, they believe you're just insulting them or taking a shot at them. Thus they ignore you.. and if such people in your life are all around you, they eventually start ignoring you thus leading to you feeling lonely.

Sad fact of life, but true.

But if its about you, I believe you shouldn't change. Be the person you are... and if you have to change, change for the good.
