"sunao" is a hard-to-translate expression but I'd say one important facet of meaning is to refer to someone being able - or unable - to express/disclose how he/she feels in a way  others can understand; 
not being "sunao" does not necessarily mean being "dishonest", it's rather being unable to openly express and admit one's feelings
