Are people scared of honesty?

 Honesty, as a virtue, has significant benefits. It promotes trust, strengthens relationships, and prevents harm. However, it seems to have become less common in recent decades1. People may fear honesty due to past experiences, societal pressure, or self-doubt. Overcoming this fear involves self-awareness and understanding its roots2. Interestingly, most people are honest most of the time, even though the threat of being caught can influence behavior3. So, while honesty might feel scary, it often leads to positive outcomes4. 🌟
