Honne

   Also found in: Wikipedia 0.01 sec.
Honne
A Japanese word for a person's true feelings. Because it may conflict with social necessities and expectations, honne is often kept secret from all except one's closest confidantes. Honne contrasts with tatemae, which corresponds to the feelings one displays in public.
