Too Honest

I wish I wasn't so honest. In fact, I think it's some kind of personality disorder.It is even hard for me to tell little white lies like when I was in court for a speeding ticket and the judge asked me if I was speeding. I automatically said yes. Later, my boyfriend chastised me because he said that since the officer hadn't shown for the hearing, if I had said no, I would have gotten off. I believe he was right, because the judge smiled when I said yes - he probably had not ever heard anyone be perfectly honest before. I was so mad at myself afterwards. I wish I didn't have to always think of the truth rather than lie sometimes.

However, I do prefer for people to always be brutally honest with me. I am not thin-skinned and I always prefer honesty over deception - no matter what the reason.
