Looking for someone to confide in and offer unbiased advice? A brutally honest friend is just what you need. Discover if you have an honest girl in your group!
Friends should be two things – Honest and eternal.
Honesty is a rarely found attribute in a person. Having a muse who listens and doles out advice at the same time is a rare phenomenon these days. Who doesn’t appreciate friendship with someone who is genuine and rare as a friend and confidante?
We all love it when a friend, especially someone who, keeps it real and shares a bittersweet relationship with us. It’s true that at times we like to hear some irresistible lies in the form of compliments from our friends. It inevitably makes our day better.
But when this turns into a consistent habit of sugarcoating lies and not being genuine with your friend, it might put the friendship in jeopardy.
“Friendship is mutual blackmail elevated to the level of love.” – Robin Morgan
Friendship is two-way communication. You don’t like her new dress? Spit it on her face. Do you think the guy she is obsessing over is no good? Spill that too.
If you end up fighting, there’s always food to mend it together!
Such is the mark of the true friend.
Here are the reasons why you should befriend the honest girl who is a real soulmate:
4 Reasons A Brutally Honest Friend Is Someone Who Is Genuine
1. Most of the time, their fake-friend-radar is bang on.
Honest friends are like FBI agents who can spot even the slightest detail in a person’s behavior and will warn you about people who they believe might have ulterior motives or pose a threat to your well-being.
These friends have a sharp sense of intuition that allows them to pick up on subtle clues and behaviors that others might miss. They will not hesitate to share their observations with you, even if it means risking your temporary displeasure.
Their warnings are not rooted in jealousy or competition but in a genuine concern for your safety and happiness. They are willing to put your best interests above their own and act as your protective shield in situations where you might be vulnerable or naive.
By heeding their advice, you can avoid potentially dangerous or toxic relationships and make better decisions for yourself.

2. A genuine and trustworthy friend is the good Samaritan in your life.
A true friend will tell you the truth even if it’s not what you want to hear. Many girls who enjoy dressing up may often receive flattery, but an honest friend will point out any flaws without hesitation. This saves you from potential embarrassment and ridicule.
Whether it’s a mismatched outfit for a particular occasion or a lipstick color that makes you resemble a vampire, your honest friend will provide straightforward feedback without sugarcoating it.
Their sincerity and directness can help you improve your appearance and confidence. Honesty and openness are important foundations for any healthy relationship, especially with friends.
So, if your friend is honest with you, it’s a good sign that they care about you and want to help you grow and improve.
3. She is your personal therapist.
An honest and genuine girlfriend can be like a personal therapist to you. They have the ability to give constructive feedback and point out where you might be going wrong in certain aspects of your life.
During tough times, they won’t abandon you, but instead, they’ll stick by your side and offer support and encouragement. Even when you feel like you’ve let yourself down, they will trust and motivate you to keep going.
Their advice about life, love, and overcoming setbacks can be more valuable than expert advice because they know you inside out. Their deep understanding of your personality and tendencies allows them to provide tailored guidance that resonates with you on a personal level.

4. They are not backstabbers.
A genuine friend won’t talk behind your back or gossip about your limitations. If they have an issue with your actions or behavior, they will confront you face to face to resolve it.
Such honest and mature friends are hard to come by. They don’t react with resentment or hold grudges against you but instead, they openly communicate their emotions and thoughts to you.
They won’t spread bitterness or negativity about you to others. Instead, they’ll work towards finding a solution to any conflicts or misunderstandings directly with you, while still valuing the friendship you share.
No matter how crappy or bad your day is, an honest girlfriend will stand next to you with her shoulder to help you with your venting.
Honest friends will help paint a smile on your face and remind you every now and then that you are extremely precious to them. No matter how harsh you are to these friends, they stay.
“Being honest may not get you a lot of friends but it’ll always get you the right ones.” ― John Lennon
