I really like this post for being an appropriately nuanced look at both how to strive for honesty and also reasons not to.
I’ve seen some takes on the topic that seem to arise from either a deep discomfort of ever having to deal with anything at all misleading, or just from a straight-out desire to minimize social effort and use honesty as an excuse to blurt out whatever is on your mind. This post is very much not that, and rather goes into detail on how being deeply honest actually requires putting in more work to do it well.
