18. Strives for the truth: This becomes more prevalent when an empath discovers his/her gifts and birthright. Anything untruthful feels plain wrong.
Truth. I must have the facts - I must have the truth. I rarely believe anything - I am NOT gullible.
I don't lie well. I'm so afraid that if I do, I'll forget I did and I'll spill the truth anyway. Not that I can't keep a secret, I can. It's just tough to lie. If I'm asked anything directly, the truth just falls right out of my mouth before I can even catch it.
That said, I can't force myself to be with people I do not like. I can't put on that falseness to tolerate. I can tolerate, I just can't tolerate someone that I have sorted into the "Nope" group. This group generally consists of those who have wronged me in some way, people who are dishonest, or people I don't have anything in common with. Not to say I don't forgive because I do...I'm more...say you burn your hand on the stove, you're not going to go right back out and lay your hand on the same stove, right? Someone burns me, I'm going to jump right back in and put myself out there again, I'm going to watch and be cautious of them until I see I was wrong about them or, I was right.
The truth will set you free, but first it will make you miserable. ~Attributed to James A. Garfield
