Comments on: A Fun Experiment To Try Radical Honesty http://www.authenticdatingarts.com/blog/a-fun-experiement-to-try-radical-honesty/ Helping people to connect with themselves so that they can connect better with others Sat, 11 Sep 2010 00:27:18 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: Deb http://www.authenticdatingarts.com/blog/a-fun-experiement-to-try-radical-honesty/comment-page-1/#comment-74 Deb Thu, 02 Sep 2010 12:22:01 +0000 http://authenticdatingclub.com/?p=158#comment-74 Hey Terrance, thanks for suggesting the article linked here as yet another 'baby step' in my journey of self-discovery. I appreciate you for your ability to share your own personal insights into this rather radical concept; it provides something I can 'relate' to when deciding whether I can do this or not. And you're right (naturally) in your observation that while I might not be ready to fully commit 100% to the concept of full disclosure, trying this experiment in whole or part, might be a good introduction. No better time like the present either....."I resent you for not kicking my ass sooner!" :) Hey Terrance, thanks for suggesting the article linked here as yet another ‘baby step’ in my journey of self-discovery.

Hi T,

I’m a big fan of radical honesty for all the reasons you point out — better connection, more trust, less bullshit, more simplicity … would never go back to the “old” ways …

So sorry it took me so long to respond....I have been overwhelmed with stuff in my personal life. In any case yes it can be very difficult at times and it is great that you are practicing. I can't say that I am there 100% and most of the time I do say things in a way that I feel spares her feelings. I'm working on it though...I gain more confidence everyday. Hey MM!

My boyfriend and I started practicing radical honesty with each other about two years ago (or so) and it has been amazing! We were both a little scared at first (most lies are to either spare the other person's feelings or are out of fear of losing the other) but it has been so incredibly wonderful! We have become much, much more intimate with each other, the trust has grown so much and our relationship has really grown. It's funny because a lot of people can say the words "I trust you with my heart", but when two people experience being honest with each other in every sense of the word, they really do trust the other with their heart... Anyway...for us...it has made life together so beautiful. However, we do still take compassion into consideration. We are honest...always and sometimes even to a fault, but we don't say "whatever comes to mind"...especially if it has potential to hurt the other. But...the lies that were designed to either keep us from losing the other or to cover our own butts...yeah,..those are gone and I couldn't be happier. Until we are truly honest with another person, they can't get to know us and unless they really get to know us, they can't really fall in love with us. Much Love, Mercedes Excellent post!

Do you say this to lots of girls?" "Well yeah, I get good by practicing. I'd say you're the 11th girl today that I've said this too" (regarding a fun game I like playing in the field with women) She was laughing and smiling throughout the entire interaction.
