62 | Female Friendship Myth: People Don't Like Me Because I'm Honest
Fact or Fiction: People Don't Like Me Because I'm Honest
We’ve all heard it: “People just don’t like me because I’m honest.” But is that really the case? In this episode of The Friendship Tour, I unpack the truth behind honesty in friendships—where it helps, where it hurts, and how to do it well.
I explore the difference between honesty and bluntness, and why the way we speak truth matters more than ever in today’s friendship dynamics. With humor, wisdom, and lived experience, I share practical tools for being honest with love—so that your truth can be heard and actually build stronger relationships, not break them.
In This Episode, You’ll Learn:
The difference between honesty and bluntness
Why how you say something is just as important as what you say
Key questions to ask yourself before "being honest"
The right time, right place, right tone principle
How to be a truth-teller and a good friend
Take This With You:
“Most people like honesty. Most people don’t like bluntness.”
Listener Challenge:
Before offering your honest thoughts, ask yourself:
☑️ Is it my business?
☑️ Is it important?
☑️ Has anyone asked for my input?
☑️ Am I trying to help—or just speak?
☑️ Am I speaking from love?
