+91 Social standards can often act as a barrier from deeper understanding of people. It's important to know when to stop trying to be polite and formal and start being honest and open. Perhaps we, as a society, could benefit from drawing that line a little sooner, amirite?

Agree, but this barrier also protects you (and that's why it is often used). By taking it down, one makes him vulnerable, that's why it is only possible with people you trust the most. The more one wants to lower it, the stronger he must be in order to cope with the social pressure. The people who succeed in doing this in a good measure are free.
