Why don't people like to hear the truth?

I think people don't like listening to the truth for three reasons: the truth may not sound good, they don't want to face their own shortcomings, and the people who tell the truth or the environment are very resistant.

The truth may not sound good.

Shakespeare said, "One would rather hear a hundred beautiful lies than a straightforward truth." This sentence makes it clear that the truth is not necessarily "beautiful", but the opposite of the truth is "false", hypocritical and flattering. Many people don't like to hear such words. This is actually understandable. Who wants to listen to some ugly but true words every day? Naturally, everyone wants to hear good things. People's psychology is like this, and it is difficult to change. The truth may correspond to their own.

Unwilling to face one's own shortcomings

Everyone has shortcomings, and there is nothing to avoid. No one is perfect, because the word perfection itself is full of flaws, because everyone's aesthetics and ideas are different. People who are told the truth are often unwilling to face these truths, because these truths may point out their shortcomings or embarrass themselves in front of everyone, so it is normal to be unwilling to face them, which is generally the case. Secondly, sometimes you may be happy to prepare something, which may not be perfect, but you have made a lot of efforts. At this time, some people pointed at it and disliked it in their words. I heard that, it is natural to refute. Maybe it's really not good enough and has many shortcomings, but what you try to accomplish is always unwilling to hear the "truth" of others.

People who tell the truth or the environment are very resistant.

Sometimes it's not that you don't want to hear the truth, nor that you can't accept your own shortcomings, but what kind of people tell the truth under what circumstances is also very important. What people you hate tell you is naturally different from what your parents and friends tell you. You will certainly be more willing to listen to the latter two words, which have a great environmental impact. If your parents say in public that you are not doing well, it is definitely inappropriate. So what kind of person should say it, and at the same time consider whether the environment at that time is suitable for saying so. Not everyone can't listen to the truth, but telling the truth can't be unscrupulous, and we should also consider the feelings of others.

Generally speaking, it is a common phenomenon that people don't like to hear the truth, which is not necessarily a bad reason. People who tell the truth should also consider whether they should tell their identity and whether the environment at that time can be told.

That's all the answers ~
