To be honest (haha I know), I think it would get you into a whole lot of trouble, and possibly effect your future. Watch any episode of 'Real Housewives' and you will see where honesty gets you...possibly being kicked in the face with a Louboutin.

You would probably be fired
If your boss had to ask you why you were late for work (again), you couldn't delve into that book of excuses and fish out a 'my car broke down' or 'a tree fell on my house' (yes, its been done). Instead your honest response would be, 'Well I was really hungover, I slept through my alarm clock and I took 20 minutes trying to find an outfit to wear'. You would thereafter have to suffer the consequences of possibly being fired, or from then on being known as the drunken hot mess in cubicle 12.
The same goes for that one colleague that you wish more than anything would somehow just vanish... the one who wears crocs and smells a bit, and asks you a thousand stupid questions. You would tell him his fortune and he would feel stripped of all humanity. It's not easy being honest as you can see.

You would have no friends
We all love our friends, they are the most amazing people that contribute to our lives in so many ways. If you were not allowed to lie around your friends, however, it would be a sad day on earth for you I'm afraid. Shopping with friends would not be as enjoyable with those inevitably doomed questions 'how does this look?' or 'does this make me look fat?'. Its like staring death in the face.
DMC's and friendly catch-ups would never be the same again. It could include telling your friend what you really think about her useless boyfriend who plays xbox all day, or how you actually do still have that top of hers and don't want to give it back because it suits you better, or how you sold the ugly birthday present she gave you on eBay.

You would go to jail
That time that you had one too many drinks at a friends dinner party and drove home? When you walked out of the shop with a magazine under your arm that you forgot to pay for? Driving without a licence, smoking a joint, public indecency... the list goes on. I mean you're not exactly a criminal, but if you couldn't lie your way out of a police questioning then more often than not you could end up behind bars for the night. Being honest is dangerous people!

You would be single forever
Whether you are in a relationship, or would like to be one day, consider the prospects of dying alone because your partner would be Usain Bolting in the opposite direction. He/she does not need to know EVERYTHING you are about to be honest about-its a scary place. You can't decide how much baggage you would like to share with the other person, and you certainly can't pick your battles. Consider this the end of the love road
To your significant other, you are good-looking, fun, confident and interesting at the best of times. They don't need to know about the argumentative, bossy, irrational and insecure you that lives inside your head. This is the pure honest part of you that no one will ever witness for fear of becoming a crazy cat lady who collects porcelain dolls.

You would lose a few family members
I think if your parents got through your years of demented adolescence they would only be mildly affected by your sudden honesty at home. Whether you live with them or not, your parents are biologically obligated to love you, so I'm sure they could handle a bit of 'Mom I have never liked your cooking' or 'Dad I wish you would stop telling those lame jokes'
The random family members are the ones you might just say your last goodbye's to. They have no reason to accept the fact that you confessed to avoiding any chance of spending more than an hour with them, or that you really don't listen to their repetitive stories about their child who has no manners.

Moral of the blog post? We are all dirty little liers whether we like to admit it or not, but only because it gets us through life with a lot less drama...and restraining orders. We ought to be thankful for the invention of lying, because I have no doubt we would be dealing with WW3 at this point. x
