To me truth is fact. Your opinions are not the truth. They're your opinions. Lot of people cannot tell the difference between truth and opinion just like lot of people cannot tell the difference between facts and opinions. Sometimes I think people pull the honesty card around as "the truth" just so they have an excuse to be mean and insulting or judgmental or whatever. Okay it's their opinion, not the truth. People can think wrong of you, people can get the wrong impression of you, make false assumptions and say it to your face what they think, that is not the truth they told you. People can have an opinion about you because of their own opinion and blurt it to your face, that isn't the truth, that's their opinion. For example lot of people think spanking your children makes you a bad parent and lazy. That is an opinion, not the truth so they can blurt it to your face all they like and claim it's the truth. To me that is bullshit. It's your opinion, not the truth and I sure don't need to hear that out of anyone's mouth when they wish to make a comment about my parenting. Maybe I can insult them back by telling them those who don't spank their kids are wussies and cowards and want to coddle their precious snowflakes and at least my kid won't grow up to be a brat. Then we'll see who is more insulted. Hey I told the "truth" right? (Note: I don't really think this about none spankers. In fact I don't care if parents don't spank their kids because everyone has their opinions about raising kids and just as long as they are well behaved and good children, I don't care how they are raised just as long as they are not getting abused. I just wish people would stop judging others for their parenting decisions. But hey if someone dares to insult me about my parenting, I will throw it back at them by saying something nasty to them telling them the opposite of what they told me. That is if I can think of a comeback in time.)


I think there is a difference between truth and honesty. Truth is fact and honesty is well you tell them your honest opinions and you don't sugar coat but it doesn't make it the truth. Like if I hear someone say "I am going to be honest with you" and then they tell you their opinion, that is them expressing their honest opinion and being honest with their opinion and not sugar coating it. They aren't telling you something they think you want to hear.

Even though there are lot of things I don't like hearing, the bright side I see to it is, it tells me what kind of people they are and at least they are that honest to tell me what kind of people they are. I can tell if they are judgmental or rude or don't give a *** or if they make horrible friends or if they are on their high horse because their standards are ridiculous, they are so ignorant, narrow minded etc. I guess they don't have a problem with telling what kind of people they are and after all, actions do speak louder than words. I do have to give credit to those people.

Can you imagine being friends with someone who all along thought you were just lazy? After all if they had the balls to say it to your face, it be the "truth" right and they can say you got insulted because you didn't like hearing "the truth?" But if they said it from the start before your friendship ever began, you could look on the bright side and tell yourself "At least he told me that now than five years later, then I would have wasted my time with him."


How many of us love hearing that AS doesn't exist and that it's a fake condition? After all that is the "truth" right? At least they are being honest with us but thanks to them sharing us that false information, we know how ignorant they are and how they don't understand AS very well and they sure would make crappy friends. Or maybe they just need to spend time with a real aspie to learn the condition is indeed real and they might not be a crappy friend after all of they got to know us personally. But if some of us are too mild, it may be harder for them to be convinced this condition is indeed real. But hey it's their opinion right? They may say it's the truth but it's not.
