I had a hard time for the longest time not being completely honest with myself and W. I always had fear of the repercussion if I told the whole truth. Which by not telling the whole truth is essentially lying by omission. And all the worry was in my head. There was zero reason for me to be worried of her reaction. Be it positive or negative. It's her choice or anyone as to how they react to something and you cannot control that.
Understanding that sometimes no matter what I say someone may get upset and be angry with me was a large step for me awhile back and by seeing that made me realize I have no reason to withhold anything unless it's something that I know will intentionally hurt someone. Being honest with myself and others I find is the best way to go. That doesn't mean be an ahole tho. Haha
The person that you will spend the most time with in your life is yourself, so make yourself as interesting as possible.
