Me neither.

Every time someone says "to be honest," I cringe and really hope I haven't been told all lies up to this very moment, when truth-telling became necessary to somehow being emphasized.😉

@DaWoDerPfeffer @Ann_Effes Okay, so language is totally one of my hobbies and little things like this get me excited.

I think it's a good phrase overall, but today's usage is those Internet things I don't fully get either.

In day to day usage, it's handy to emphasize the sincerity of a statement or to soften a negative one. But sometimes it's also just filler and the person's not even aware they're saying it.

Add personal style, culture, context, etc. and it can get awkward though.
