1) it's almost impossible to talk with someone about themselves, about mistakes they've made or about things they could do better (unless they brought it up). People usually aren't seeking validation or criticism from others, especially if they don't know or work with these people. Offering these apropos of nothing is kind of rude. 2) almost nobody cares about "the truth". They only care about what makes them happy. What does this mean? Who is the arbiter of "truth," then?
