Share Your Opinion: Truth

Do you feel comfortable speaking your truth in any situation?

If I am uncomfortable speaking my truth in every situation, it is more about fearing the reprisals and reactions from others. The truth always comes out even if we don't use words.

Ironically, those voting "no" are probably practicing satya moreso that those voting "yes".

I chose undecided instead of Yes...
As I have a few situations in my life were people make it quite clear that they are not interested in my opinion or have any intention of accepting it as simply my truth. My truth actualy is a source of discomfort for them.

Annig	We are daily challenged to tell our truth or the truth. I find that when I respond with these words, "You may be right," there is a receptivity for me to speak.
Kanan Vihari Jaswal	I find telling the truth so easy, so liberating that I do it all the time. And when I find myself exaggerating the things, immediately thereafter I make it a point to re-state without even a trace of exaggeration this time. Sometimes my interlocutors do not understand my motives in doing so but I do believe with all sincerity at my command that truth itself is powerful and does not need any props.
ommare	Always speaking the truth doesn't mean commenting on everything to anybody and everybody, or widely broadcasting your beliefs; it means that what you do say is said with integrity; you say what you mean and you mean what you say. Words often come out of my mouth before I know what my truth is, or I say things in a way that are misinterpreted due to my delivery, and then it is difficult to backtrack in a conversation. Additionally I often have multiple viewpoints on a single issue at one time and confuse others if I explain just one, or worse, more than one, of my viewpoints. (Besides, they get bored and walk away!) Being present in the moment doesn't necessarily help; in fact, it often makes it easier for my brain to react reflexively rather than thoughtfully. So, I'm working on (as a work in progress) matching my words to my actions and vice versa. But then again, isn't it a "woman's perogative" to change her mind?! (And, is it untruthful to do so?)
