Why People Fear An Honest Person


The world is getting artificial day by day and the inhabitants of the planet earth are also becoming so. I sometime wonder, how many people around me are revealing their real self? Almost everyone around us is pretentious.  Why people are so afraid of being honest? Why people fear an honest person?

 

Let’s think about when people are fear of something? Sometimes people fear something because it will make their living more complicated, sometimes people fear something as it will make them do something that they do not want to do or want to avoid at the first place. Often people fear something just because it will reveal the truth about themselves which they do not want the outside world to know. We have some conscious fears and have some intuitive fears. No matter what type of fear it is people want to avoid those by instinct.

 

Most of us usually fear an honest person in our subconscious mind. This actually comes from the fear of facing the truth. An honest person will tell you the truth on your face and most of us are not brave enough to face the truth and this is one of the prime reasons why people fear an honest person.

 

Here are some facts about why people fear an honest person:

 

·        We all know how people will react differently on saying some certain things or on not saying certain things.  People like being indulged about themselves. So if you praise people when they do not deserve it, it is obvious they will like it. On the other hand, if you tell them how you really feel about them, that an honest person does, most of the people will never appreciate that, rather you will find they will start avoiding you.

·        People cannot avoid responsibilities when they are around an honest person. There are many people who do not want to face the reality of life. They love to live in their dreams. Being honest means not only fulfill your duties but also aware others about their duties and accountabilities. When a person avoid his duties or responsibilities toward his family or the society that creates problems in family lives and also in social lives. An honest person always reminds all about their responsibilities and duties which most of the people do not like to hear about as they are more likely want to pass up these duties. Thereby, this is another reason why people fear an honest person.

·        An honest person reminds people about their dishonesties, is another reason why people fear an honest person. Being honest is not an easy task; people have to sacrifice a lot for being honest. Honesty makes us vulnerable as we have to show the world our real-self, who we really are. Therefore, people get the chance to criticize an honest person but at the same time it reminds them how often they do the same kind of mistakes but they do not need to hear the criticize of others as they do not let the outside world know about the truth or take the help of lie to get rid of the criticism. No matter how deceitful a person is, at the end of the day he knows where he stands in his own judgment. So people want to avoid an honest person as it will jog their memory about how deceiving they are.

 

Of course we should appreciate and honest person and his honesty. But remember being honest does not mean being stingy to others. An honest person must have the sense of disclosure and privacy. Being nosy does not mean being honest. An inquisitive person will interfere on your personal matter even if you make it clear to him that you are not interested to talk about a certain topic in public. But an honest person will never do that instead he/she will respect your privacy and will not let you down in public.

 

As a human being we all should try to be honest with ourselves and also with others. Honesty is truly the best policy and you will see how it will change your life in a positive direction. In spite of being afraid of an honest person we should appreciate his/her effort that how he/she is trying to make us a better person by denoting our faults, lies at the same time trying to make the whole world a better place.

 

Truth is always out there whether we want to face it or not. Sooner or later the truth will be revealed and that is for sure. An honest person makes us face this reality and that is why people fear an honest person. Let’s try to get influenced by an honest person in spite of being afraid of him/her and try to make ourselves better individuals.

    I don’t disagree with you, however, apart from being honest people it’s also our risk that we can both make an unwanted mistake, that is, an issue, whereon somebody’s later on against us both being honest people, because this mistake itself for whatever detail, it can resemble, reminds the other one to be a ‘traitor’ to us, he, she may by oneself have felt like the betrayed one, on the other hand, why dwell on it?, deliberately that I ask you about it, unless the one’s grudge is his, her obligation that’s not yet been revealed to me, so that I can at least, of course become & e.g. like yourself believe in & as much as possible about, who deerves & counts on what, ‘why & when,’ greetings, ‘J.A.,’, God Itself didn’t approve of any idea, e.g. mine that honesty WAS my best future, the one that I could of course rely on to be my personal choice!
