I'm trying to wrap my brain around this and struggling. I use it as a garnish to make whatever I'm about to say more empathetic, especially if it's going to sound harsh without a little window dressing. I don't understand how you can possibly sprinkle it into virtually every sentence. but I'm also someone who rewrites entire comments if I've backed myself into a corner and have to reuse a word so I probably just have very different kinds of neuroses.
I am certain I have ways of talking (and writing) that have patterns of their own and repetitive phrasing, but my personal subjective experience is that people saying "honestly" out loud as a near-constant sentence opener makes people seem less honest and it annoys me.

embrace chaos and obsessively rewrite every sentence until you've removed all the unintentional repetition. or like be normal, or something.
