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.

 

[Fidelia]

Even though the truth hurts most times, I prefer to hear the truth than bask in the false euphoria of a lie.

 

[Unyime]

People disliked truthful people because they are scare that their secret will be open in public for everyone to hear .

 

[nomad]

I think people like people who speak truth, no one likes liars. But I do agree that people dislike bitter truth

 

[Kera]

Truth is bitter and no one ever likes anything that is bitter. But the truth can't be stopped.

 

[freelancermaria]

They refuse to acknowledge the truth about their misbehaviors or negative qualities. These people are quite resistant to change and unwilling to face their shortcomings.

 

[King Belieal]

The truth would always point out their errors to them and they don't want to take that responsibility and so they better avoid it completely.

 

[Stardom22]

People that say the truth are being hated so much because they stand with one one accord.

 

[Kosi G]

Truth always has a way of confronting people. And some truths are very harsh. But it is necessary to tell the truth always

 

[Pearl]

The reason for that is that truth hurts a lot and people don't like to be told the truth.
