 Honesty Boxes
So I was reading someone's blog a few days ago and they mentioned the use of an honesty box. I hadn't heard of it before but thought I should at least see what it was all about, because I'm all about honesty. Or at least I thought I was.

So I added the application to my oh so fabulous face book page, and was surprised to see that there was already a comment written about me, from three weeks prior, even though I just added the application. The box had the generic question of "What do you honestly think of me?" Well there were two comments.

The first one, was awesome and made me laugh.
The second, not so much.
 
I can't write it word for word, because I deleted it, but it said something along the lines of, that they doubted whether or not I was genuine or honest about  my responses concerning a particular someone in my life, and they weren't sure if I was being honest about how that person made me feel. They even further went to say that they loved me BUT weren't sure if it would matter to me if they weren't in my life anymore. WTF??? I mean... really, WTF?!

So then it got me all paranoid and I thought, well who wrote this? I asked my sister in laws, if perhaps they had written it. But then my one s-i-l said she doubted that my other one would write it. But I had to make sure just in case, so I replied back to it and asked if it was my s-i-l, they never replied. Then I talked to my s-i-l (in question) and asked her, she said she hadn't. Which I take her word for and now I feel a little disturbed that I thought it was her in the first place, but I would rather know for sure than to wonder. Stupid box.

But seriously folks, when you write a BUT in your sentence, you totally discount what you just said. Grr! I'm just too sensitive. I need to quit this desire of having everyone like me. Obviously this person is mad, otherwise they wouldn't have written it or they would come and talk to me about it instead of hiding. Coward.

I just think it's a frickin joke. If you are mad about someone, and you truly care about them, then don't use a stupid box to write stuff. Tell them to their face!

Oh well learned my lesson, don't look through the keyhole if you don't want to know what's on the other side.

Honesty????

No, most of us don't want honesty, we can't handle it. When people think they are annomyous they will tell you "honestly" what they think; abandoning any sence of civility.

I totally agree with you 100%. I thought I could handle it; thus the reason behind adding it. But I was wrong. I would've totally been happier not knowing that that comment existed. But now I just really wish, I knew who it was and that I could talk to them. Pathetic I know. Must be the inner counselor in me, constantly wanting to make things ok. Grr!! Thanks for your comment.

It always comes down to face to face.

Totally. It makes me feel better, even if the other person is like "what the heck??" At least it is off my chest. Ahhh. Thanks for the comment and the add. :)

That stinks and how rude of them.
The nerve! Joking or otherwise.
Send them my way, I am in the
mood to slap someone. Anyone.
LOL - at slapping. Not at your
feelings which I very much
understand.

I read about a teacher who had the
students write their favorite things
about each other. They all saved them
and could refer back to them as a way
to remember the good things people
said about them. I think it is a
great idea.

I look forward to getting to know you.

Thanks Vestiges... :) I agree with the slapping. On Facebook, they'll let you send out bribes to get the person to fess up, but in order to get bribery points, you have to complete stupid online offers. Damn the man! lol

I had my grade 2's do the compliment thing, and it really worked. I think we should do a compliment blog/forum. Great idea. :D

Thanks for your comment. I look forward to getting to know you too. :D
