I think that could be the cynicism talking.

Perhaps all of the people who now are your friends might no longer be you friends, but your new habit could've brought you new friends who respect you for your candor, even if it is slightly cynical.



I have one friend who tells everyone what she thinks with no apparent filter.

Besides me, she has maybe two or three other people who like her company.

Nor are her opinions that noxious--usually she just says out loud very blunt versions of what half of the people are thinking. But you can easily imagine personalities with an even lower batting average.


All my friends are like that with varying syntax. I'm unsure how to interprete that, except that I like it because they are honest.


I don't really believe there is a state of total honesty between people.

There is always the inner person with dirty habits and nasty thoughts that you don't expose to _anyone_ however drunk you are.
