You explain radical honesty better than in any other videos I've seen. It's a bit odd you're doing this video in a car, but to each thier own I suppose. I like this concept, but it's like buddism in the sense that it works great if everyone does it. I for one would like a sense of social reality, to know exactly what people think of me, and the freedom to tell them the same. Even for relationships, no flirting or careful planning. "Hey, I find you attractive" "Me too", done. I like it.

@JC5296 I think the relationship dance is necessary for evolutionary reasons. People need time to get to know someone before making an assessment. However, you can tell how someone feels about you without needing them to say anything. Observe body language and actions. Actions speak so loud I can't hear a word your saying.

@vagabondsteve I am really frusturated about your comment. Have you been listening to what YOU ARE saying? :( JC5296 is on to something here.

@emremokoko Balance is the key. Absolute honesty takes time to nurture within others. People are simply not accustomed to it. Warm them up to it slowly. Otherwise it's like dumping a bucket of cold water on your date. Do you think it's wise to tell someone you just started dating that you want to have sex with them? Just because you want absolute honesty doesn't mean your date does. However, after s/he know you well then absolute honesty is mutual.

How do you become radically honest without coming off as an asshole? I'm such a critic inside, I'd be afraid of saying what I'd really like to say.

@jainsworr Choose friends who want you to be absolutely honest with them. Did the video help at all?

I think it was when I saw the Brad Blanton segment on This American Life that I truly started to embrace absolute/radical honesty. Regrettably, I'm not at the point yet where I can practice it with other people, but just the act of being honest with myself about my true thoughts and feelings has been a source of catharsis and an important step forward. Of course I'm not always happy with who I am, but at least now I can make real changes if I so chose, rather than pretending to meet some ideal.

Nice, I didn't know there was an actual thing called 'radical honesty' before I checked out Sharp47's video 'getting out of the matrix' where he told me to google radical honesty. I try to be honest as much as I can, but there's a lot of fear going on inside me. Gotta win it. Thanks for the video, dude. I subbed. :)

not sure it is being radically honest, just that most people are fundamentally dishonest

@paullie6719 Unfortunately for women like me to exist, men have to lie for years until we finally have an epiphany. The majority of women never get the 2nd part and just repeat the 1st part of the cycle over & over again. To be perfectly up front about it, if u are lucky enough to find someone who wakes up, more than likely she won't give you the time of day, under the assumption that you are just like the rest. Not saying you are, just saying. Oh, and there's no one quite like me lol. :)

@Regigirl0917 Where do I meet a woman like you? :)

I have and have had this philosophy in my current relationship from the very beginning. I never would have believed how life changing this is. I've never had a more solid, dependable relationship in my life. Even when my bf is attracted to other women, I am completely secure bc I know where I stand and it's ok to discuss. We have said things u would never believe, never sugar coat, and it's ok bc it's accepted from each other. Amazing philosophy and very doable assuming both ppl accept it.
