00:00:00.202 --> 00:00:01.565
- I think everyone's a liar.

00:00:01.565 --> 00:00:05.398
And you're lying if you
say you're not a liar.

00:00:08.757 --> 00:00:11.550
- I'm kind of worried that me being honest

00:00:11.550 --> 00:00:14.111
is gonna make people
think that I'm inadequate,

00:00:14.111 --> 00:00:16.378
or I'm a mean person.

00:00:16.378 --> 00:00:18.748
- Maybe I lie to protect myself, but also,

00:00:18.748 --> 00:00:21.394
I lie to protect other people.

00:00:21.394 --> 00:00:22.950
- Sometimes the truth hurts,

00:00:22.950 --> 00:00:25.910
and sometimes the truth is very dark,

00:00:25.910 --> 00:00:28.590
and something that a lot
of people don't wanna hear.

00:00:28.590 --> 00:00:32.354
- Being honest scares me, in
terms of all my relationships,

00:00:32.354 --> 00:00:35.271
because I guess I lie to everybody.

00:00:36.902 --> 00:00:39.492
- I swear to tell the truth.
- The whole truth.

00:00:39.492 --> 00:00:43.206
- And nothing but the truth.
- For the next 24 hours.

00:00:43.206 --> 00:00:45.956
(dramatic music)

00:00:49.246 --> 00:00:51.027
- So the lady at the
Burger King drive through

00:00:51.027 --> 00:00:52.550
gave me a compliment,

00:00:52.550 --> 00:00:54.060
and she was like, "Oh I love your hair,

00:00:54.060 --> 00:00:55.584
"oh I want your hair."

00:00:55.584 --> 00:00:57.368
And I was like, you know what?

00:00:57.368 --> 00:00:59.527
It's not mine, so you can have it too.

00:00:59.527 --> 00:01:01.730
Just go to the store and buy it.

00:01:01.730 --> 00:01:04.863
- I had a friend text me
asking if I wanted to hang out,

00:01:04.863 --> 00:01:06.955
and I told them I had an audition,

00:01:06.955 --> 00:01:09.333
caught myself, and had to write back,

00:01:09.333 --> 00:01:11.571
no, I actually lied,

00:01:11.571 --> 00:01:15.084
I just feel like lying in
my bed doing nothing today.

00:01:15.084 --> 00:01:16.327
Felt very lame.

00:01:16.327 --> 00:01:17.410
- Hey Steven.

00:01:18.713 --> 00:01:19.971
- [Steven] Yeah?

00:01:19.971 --> 00:01:21.660
- I never told you
this, but before we met,

00:01:21.660 --> 00:01:23.710
I liked your dog a lot more than you.

00:01:23.710 --> 00:01:25.293
- What?
- I'm sorry.

00:01:26.276 --> 00:01:28.490
I'm just being honest.

00:01:28.490 --> 00:01:29.814
- So I went to dinner,

00:01:29.814 --> 00:01:32.006
and the waiter asked us how our meal was.

00:01:32.006 --> 00:01:33.391
- And what did you tell her?

00:01:33.391 --> 00:01:35.296
- It wasn't good.

00:01:35.296 --> 00:01:38.033
- You can't say that to
waiter, you can't do that.

00:01:38.033 --> 00:01:40.111
- But it was cold, it wasn't very good.

00:01:40.111 --> 00:01:42.328
- So I just got back from this date.

00:01:42.328 --> 00:01:43.711
A few things.

00:01:43.711 --> 00:01:45.796
He appreciated that I was
honest about a lot of things.

00:01:45.796 --> 00:01:49.938
I think that, you know,
it allowed him to open up

00:01:49.938 --> 00:01:52.011
and be a lot more honest about himself,

00:01:52.011 --> 00:01:54.155
because I was being so blunt.

00:01:54.155 --> 00:01:57.562
And I was like, "Hey, we
vibe really well as friends.

00:01:57.562 --> 00:02:00.933
"Maybe we should hang out
next time as friends."

00:02:00.933 --> 00:02:02.736
I didn't even know how to say that.

00:02:02.736 --> 00:02:04.294
It was.

00:02:04.294 --> 00:02:07.044
So, honesty kind of sucked today.

00:02:09.940 --> 00:02:13.161
- Being honest for a day
made me feel like an asshole.

00:02:13.161 --> 00:02:15.592
- I was honest for a day, and in the end,

00:02:15.592 --> 00:02:17.292
nothing really changed.

00:02:17.292 --> 00:02:18.585
Like, the world didn't blow up,

00:02:18.585 --> 00:02:20.788
I still have my friends,
I still have my family.

00:02:20.788 --> 00:02:22.807
I went on a date and I
didn't like the person,

00:02:22.807 --> 00:02:25.135
and now I never have to
see them again, it's great.

00:02:25.135 --> 00:02:26.960
- Being honest didn't ruin my life.

00:02:26.960 --> 00:02:28.477
Nothing changed.

00:02:28.477 --> 00:02:31.678
I still have my mom, and
she didn't disown me.

00:02:31.678 --> 00:02:33.586
My boyfriend still lives with me

00:02:33.586 --> 00:02:35.134
and he hasn't disowned me yet,

00:02:35.134 --> 00:02:38.672
and I still have my job so
things are going smoothly.

00:02:38.672 --> 00:02:40.217
- I think that was just a relief,

00:02:40.217 --> 00:02:42.086
just to kinda let go
of that side of myself

00:02:42.086 --> 00:02:44.006
that wants to be a people pleaser

00:02:44.006 --> 00:02:46.935
and wants to put my best face forward

00:02:46.935 --> 00:02:49.376
instead of really saying
what's on my mind.

00:02:49.376 --> 00:02:51.622
- Maybe I should start
being a little more honest

00:02:51.622 --> 00:02:53.698
about the small stuff,
and see what happens,

00:02:53.698 --> 00:02:57.090
and push myself out of my comfort zone.

00:02:57.090 --> 00:02:58.778
- I'm really glad that
we did this experiment,

00:02:58.778 --> 00:03:02.231
just because it's kind of put
things in perspective for me.

00:03:02.231 --> 00:03:04.666
It's a little bit more important for me

00:03:04.666 --> 00:03:08.141
to feel comfortable, and
for me to feel happy,

00:03:08.141 --> 00:03:12.911
than to compromise all of that
for the happiness of others.

00:03:12.911 --> 00:03:16.494
