No It Doesn't... Not Really

[Anthy_pantz]

Honesty without kindness is brutality. Kindness without honesty is manipulation.

[militsa]

Unrealistic. My mom would never give me this much time to speak let alone this calmly.

[Reeses-hqfz]

And then they get hurt when you tell them the truth.

[CreatimationStudios]

“You don’t like when we yell at you, don’t you mean you don’t like being parented?” No, I mean I don’t like being brutalized for every imperfection I have

[darkrabbit]

And they never understand why we are in our rooms all the time wasting away..

[excessivelyfangirlingbookw]

That’s why I hate “brutally honest” people. There’s a difference between being direct and transparent when the truth needs to be said vs. Being mean-spirited and cruel and acting as if you couldn’t have said the exact same information in a way more considerate packaging.

✨️Danny in his relatable era✨️
....wish it wasn't though

[thequietkate]

It’s like that bit in Glass Onion where Benoit Blanc says “It’s a dangerous thing to mistake speaking without thought for speaking the truth.”

[emerson]

I just moved out today, away from my parents, I can finally be myself.

[FrootDeMoN]

"So then why are you talking to me like this? I love you"
Damn

[BonnieElizabethWilks]

The only thing that isn't relatable is the fact that the kid can talk without the parent not walking away or not listening or not interrupting.

[Hatsuyuki.]

I feel like all of danny video are like this are things he want to say to his mom, which he didn't

[realRatRat]

if someone asks your opinion on their outfit, and you dislike it, you can go about it a few ways:

-"it looks great!" (lie)
-"it's so ugly lmao you want to leave the house in *that?"* (honest, but mean)
-"it's not really my thing, but hey if you like it, that's cool" (honest AND kind)

"brutally honest" and "always honest" are not the same. you can be truthful always without resorting to brutality

[JustAGhost]

Me and my parents have fought about this a few times before. I hope they raise my siblings better than they rose me. They even told me I was a test trial kid, that it was “ok” if they did it wrong. I didnt deserve that just because *I* was born first. No one does.

[brokemomdiaries]

As a mom of 3 kids I like being frank with my feelings when I hurt them, and luckily they do the same to me. Normalize knowing ur kids feelings it's not that hard to tell them that you're tired, mad, or disappointed, ask them how they feel if you feel that way.

[HunterStormwolf]

Bro, I'm trying to make spaghetti, but I'm not trying to use my tears to salt the water.

[Vantablack]

I've never understood the "don't talk to me like that, " as they proceed to say the most vile things to their child while you're not allowed to defend yourself.

[vaupel]

This is a damn good message, and I hope it finds people in this situation and helps them realize how bad it is.
With this being said, I would like to make a slight comment. The truth can hurt, but it isn't something that seeks to hurt.



Like how I'll never be a woman.... Still cis though.

[claireallen-qdbb]

as someone who would be blown off and who, when I was in these situations was "never in the right", the silence at the end felt like acceptance that the parent knew they were wrong, and christ was that healing for me 😭😂

[Yuri-id]

this is so true…that’s why I go to therapy…bc of my parents..
