i thought people like hearing the truth except when the truth is deeply personal, it transforms into an attack, an insult to their ego

What made you think people like to hear the truth?!?! 🤣. People much prefer to bury their heads in the sand than face the truth imo
and we’re all like this. it takes lots of courage to admit hard truths. it takes genuine introspection and investigation—all defense mechanisms, by definition, are sub-conscious, and denial is certainly no exception.
i think people have eye opening moments when they discover they have lied to by institutions & even those close to them, one would think they are more accepting the biggest lies are the ones people constantly tell themselves & them convince themselves of anyway they are often disguised as excuses, too

Oh ok those kinds of truths, I was thinking more like "you're and asshole" type of truths 🤣.
