I took a survey about two weeks ago called the VIA Signature Strengths Survey. It measures out your strengths and out of twenty-four it tells you your top five strengths. My top five straights are:
1) Curiosity and interest in the world
2)Honesty, authenticity, and genuineness
3) Bravery and valor
4)Humor and playfulness
5)Industry, diligence, and perseverance
Not trying to seem cocky but I definitely agree with the results. But then I started thinking, nobody has ever seen my honesty as a strength. Some people say that I'm TOO honest. The reality is that I'm the kind of person who tells you like it is. I don't care if I hurt your feelings, that's just the way I am. For example, the other day my best friend asked me if I liked her new shirt. Her shirt was horrendous, like a "WTF was she thinking" shirt. I looked at her and said, "Dawg, you look sh***y, what the hell were you thinking when you bought that sh**." But my best friend is my best friend for a reason because she laughed and said, "FU, I like it." Maybe I'm a little bit to blunt for some people's taste, but that's just the way I am.

Hey, there's nothing wrong with being too honest. I'm like that too but sometimes sugar coating what you say helps for the sake of not hurting somebody else's feelings.
