This describes me to a “T”. This is how I feel. Just be straight we me. Be honest. Don’t try to skirt around the truth and don’t ever tell me a “little, bitty lie”. Because there are no “little, bitty lies”. There are only lies.
The older I get, the more I appreciate people who are straightforward and clear about their intentions. I don’t have time for guessing.
When you have a straightforward personality, you usually don’t leave room for other people to have to guess who you are. People know who you are because there is no fake about you, no phoniness. What you see is what you get.
Your family, friends and others can depend on you to tell it like it is. To lay it on the line, to put all your cards on the table. You are honest and you expect everyone else to be honest.
Straightforward, real people can take it too. People can be just as honest with you as you are with them. As a matter of fact, you prefer it that way.
Straightforward people avoid drama. Drama begins when people get hurt or misunderstand others’ intentions. But because straightforward people are so honest, they don’t play the drama game. Neither do they want any kind of drama in their life.
When you have this kind of personality, you know what you want in life and you’re willing to work your butt off to get it. Does this sound familiar? Don’t you work hard every single day to get what you want out of life? Yeah, I thought so.
Straightforward, honest people exude a confidence that others don’t have. You only have to look at them or be around them a few seconds to know that they are honest, confident people. There is no fear of challenges and they are confident about their thoughts, words, decisions, actions and consequences.
Sometimes straightforward personalities can be seen as rude or harsh. But if you look a little closer, you’ll just see an honest, straightforward, real, authentic human being. My favorite kind of people.
Sending you blessings of love and gratitude from Sterrett, Alabama!
