I have a honest question. Does someone have to feel comfortable with you to tell you the truth ? This goes for anybody, kids, spouse anyone. Example if i do something wrong an im ashamed and scared you'll down me is it ok for me to not feel comfortable talking to you about something important?
This is not real lol just curious .
Depends if the person I need/want to tell something too always has a bad reaction. I’m talking about a bitter narcissistic person. Then I just avoid the negativity. My husband and kids will always get the truth from me regardless. I want the same from them in return.
You added details when I was answering. :D I think that's perfectly normal to not want to confide in someone you can't trust.
I don't go around telling people how it is right and left, but if you ask me a question the only answer is honesty. I try to say things kindly if I can, it will be honest though. Like I won't tell someone they look awful in an outfit, I will tell them what does look nice on them, what color/pattern/style, if that makes sense.
Even if you’re comfortable with someone doesn’t mean it’s always easy to talk about some things. That’s not a them problem that’s just a personal problem. Sometimes we gotta work through the emotions and we may need space to do that and to find the right words to say it. Also, we may be worried about what the other person may say. It’s normal.
