Why do people dislike those who say the truth?

[Bisolami]

We all know that the truth is bitter and so many people get angry when you tell them the truth and they tend to run away from you. That’s why they can see you next time and start talking negative things about you all because you advised them.

Have you ever witnessed or noticed this?

 

[Shavkat]

In my view, they do not like to accept the ugly truth. They are in denial that they need to change.

 

[Sanjeev]

Because they know if the truth is revealed, people may not like that person. That's why they run from a person who speaks the truth.

 

[King Belieal]

That's because the truth is painful to take when it doesn't favour you. They want someone that would come and massage their ego with lies.

 

[eldavis]

The truth is always bitter and harsh to most persons. They would rather hear lies than get the bitter truth.

 

[Springtime]

That depends on the individual. Some are willing to listen to the truth and appreciate your true advice. However, there are also people who cannot accept constructive criticism.
