Some people think that they could always be honest to their friends. However, in my opinion, it is impossible to talk with friends without any untruth. There are two reasons. To begin with, occasionally, not being honest can be a kind of consideration. To be specific, if your friend talk to you about his recent worry or his complex, you could think that saying him your thought honestly would be better for him. However, telling too honestly could worsen the situation. Furthermore, you could be seen a rude person. Thus, sometimes we need a white lies. To give an anecdote, when I was sophomore in high school, my best friend Minji told me worry about her low grades at English class. She though that although she had studied zealously than anyone else, she got a low scores. However, I didn’t think that she had studied hard than others, so she deserved that grade. When I told her this, she received a wound and we were estranged each other since then. Henceforth, I realized that to be honest is not always good for others.
On top of that, everyone has something they want to conceal. To explain, someone could not want to tell about his or her private concerns like their family business or personal preferences. Thus, it is impossible to be honest about everything of themselves and there is no need to tell all of them. There was a poll conducted by SWAI with a hundred of college students as respondents. The purpose of the survey was to understand the consensus view about whether they could tell their best friends own complex honestly or couldn’t. An overwhelming 70% responded that they couldn’t tell about their complex. In a following interview, one of the respondents added that even to the parents, he doesn’t want to talk about his private concern. Thus this survey proves that people have a negative view of being totally honest about their personal things.
To sum up, sometimes hiding the fact could be a consideration for the other party. Moreover, everyone has their private concerns, and most of them doesn’t want to tell those things to others. In this regard, I firmly believe that it is impossible to be honest to friends for the reasons I mentioned above.
