Back Talk: A Tale of Self Deprecation

I love socially inadequate people who tell the truth all the time, but not in a way that intentionally attacks another. It's refreshing.
I bring this up because I recently saw a trailer for the movie Adam. In the movie, a man with Asperger's Disorder starts a relationship with a woman who has moved into his apartment building. Asperger's is a mild variant of Autistic Disorder and individuals can function in society but are more likely to be socially inept. People with this disorder tend to have difficulty reading the emotions of others and understanding how to react to them. They tend to speak the truth and can say hurtful things without realizing that the other person perceives it that way. This in and of itself could cause problems in a relationship, but the idea of speaking the truth in a constructive and loving manner instead of filling a relationship up with lies is profound. How much better would everything be if we all just told the truth as often and as positively as possible? How much room would be left for the important things when all the lies are cleared out?
I've known people who lie daily and I can't help but feel that they are unfortunately underdeveloped. Will they ever realize that telling the truth is so much more efficient? The one big obstacle we all face is the fact that sometimes, the truth hurts. Hell, sometimes it even burns you more than anything ever will, but I still think it's better than piling up lie after lie until there is no way to tell which is real anymore.
Also, before we can begin to tell others the truth, we have to learn how to accept it for ourselves, which is much harder. Sometimes, we don't even know what the truth is.
I'm going to make it a point in my life to tell the truth as often as possible and to tell it in a developed way that is used to propel things forward. I think the more you tell someone the truth, the more they will want to have you in their life.

Truth #1: I have no idea what I'm talking about. I'm just a 22 year old girl for God's sake. Take what I say and develop your own ideas. Then tell me about them. I love hearing other people's perspectives.
