like: i told him to be honest. i told to be honest?

No, that would not make sense. If you make a request for honesty, you have to request it of someone, even if it is yourself. "Told" can be intransitive, but in most cases it requires an object. "I told him to be honest. I told him not to lie. I told him I loved him. He told me I was crazy. " :)
Have a great day!

No, that doesn't make sense without the him. It doesn't sound right without it.
