......argue with someone who is unwilling to be honest and truthful?
Hi, not sure what topics you are seeing to argue with someone one.
but if you rather discussed than argued would help.
and no matter if someone is honest and truthful is not important, unless you are a medical doctor and need to know someone's symptoms, etc.
If you say how do you feel, and I say fine, when I'm in much pain and anguish in my being, (I've just been dishonest) I'd rather you continue talking with me, and as we talked you might hear why I am in pain.
That is if I trusted you to share my pain with. (a hypothetical example, tho i do say fine, when I'm not)
Few trust others with their feelings and for very good reasons as few are trustworthy and is very good to have healthy boundaries and to determine who is trustworthy.
Most people have maybe one or two in their lives which are trustworthy and all their lives, others may never have any, or never be able to trust, or others may have more, but is very common, that in our lives, we find 2 or so, that we can share anything at all with.
As I don't know why you made this thread, and am making my guesses as to what the thread is about.. which may be well off, just thought I'd throw the above in to cover as much as possible.
take care,
