i need a noun
I'm writing a post about integrity, and there's a certain type for which I know of no name. You know the people who buttress their lives with comforting fictions? They don't like themselves, they don't like their lives, whatever—so they just decide to spin a bullshit narrative instead? Of course you do.
What do you call a person who unflinchingly doesn't do that? No spin, no varnish, no selective truths. It's a special kind of integrity.
