It’s not just you; it’s in our human nature to fall for compliments and sweet words.
Even though they can be sincere, they can often deceit us, especially if they’re spoken by people who use sugar-coated words when they don’t in fact mean any good.
And, the blunt people around us are usually considered ‘not good friends’ as they can be too real at times, which isn’t always what we want or need or what we’ve imagined we look like in other people’s eyes.
But, sometimes, the blunt people in your life can become your best friends- they will allow you to see the bigger picture, even when this is too hard.
They will show you truth and what better liberation is there than truth?
Let’s learn why we should appreciate our blunt friends a bit more!

When you know your friend is honest, you know there are no hidden agendas with them and you know that you have a person to back you up, no matter what you’re going through.
