We are realistic, but we just pretend to not be. No?
Have you ever tried talking to somebody you don’t think is nice and yet you tell them ” oh you’re so nice! “. That often happens. Why? I don’t think that we should really hide it, if some people ask you if they’re bad and you think they are, it’s not a bad thing to reply them honestly, because by your honesty you will be somebody they trust and will try to change their bad points for. If you think they’re ugly, the word ” ugly ” just couldn’t come out of your lips because you don’t want to hurt their feelings. So other than telling them ” no! you’re gorgeous! ” which is totally a lie, you can say ” how dare you complain about yourself! you’re so perfect already, because you’re not deaf, blind or something else. so appreciate yourself and feel complete! ” because that’s the truth. If you were to compare, there’s no ending.
Lying isn’t really a solution, although you lie to make the other person feel better but they will just feel dumb and humiliated, why? try to think for yourself, you are a dumb person, but those ‘smart’ people kept saying ” you’re so smart lah! ” just because you finally passed your history papers. What you’d feel? you already know that they’re lying and yes, it will give you a damn deep hurt feeling. So my advice, don’t lie to make somebody feel better unless you really got to. and although you got to be honest, you can’t go bragging around about your qualities too, and no, there is no need to say ” no lah.. I’m so stupid.. ” when your grades is better than somebody and that somebody praised you. If you are really better, just admit it by a smile or thanks. It’s not that difficult =).
