Even though most people would agree that honesty is an important virtue, surprisingly, few people live an honest life. They would rather call it little white lies and blatantly lie out right or by omission. A study found that 40% of adults lie at least once a day.
What are the signs you are an honest person?
1. They have a calm and consistent speaking voice.
One of the easiest tell-tale signs of lying is a loud voice. When you catch someone in a lie, they will raise their voice in defense to establish power.
2. They come across as rude sometimes.
Honest people couldn't care less about your feelings. They would rather tell you a truth that hurts than one that makes you feel good about yourself. It's called tough love.
3. They are good friends.
The closer you are to someone, the more likely you are to be honest with them. Close and lasting friendships are built on trust which requires honesty.

5. They have thick skin.
You know the saying, if you can't take the heat, leave the kitchen. Honest people dish out the truth no matter how much it hurts, and are usually ready to bear the burden too. Those who are honest know beat worth, they know who they are, they aren't ashamed to show it.
