MYFAVETHINGABOUTMYSELF---I do not know how not to be smug while I am telling my favorite thing about myself. But to be honest, I like how honest I am. For me, being honest is not only  to tell the truth, but also to be sincere about what you do. I cannot be fake even if I try. I think that's why I have 'real' friendships which are built with sharing sincere and real emotions. Honesty is reflected in my actions too. If I care about someone or like someone, I generally do not have to tell him/her that I do. My behavior always shows them how I feel. I become good friends with the ones that I like, and I just don't have to be fake to the ones that I do not really care about because they go away sooner or later. This thing about me makes my life easier in these kinds of ways.
Lying is such a habit that keeps getting us into trouble. It does not matter how long it takes; it just ruins things. It ruins our relationships, friendships, reputation, etc. It does not prevent us from being punished, in fact, it is a habit that makes problems bigger. So it is a good and beneficial habit to be honest in all situations. That' s why being honest is my favorite thing about myself.
