I Admire People Who Tactfully Tell It Like It Is

Even if the truth is painful, I appricate the honesty and keeping me in check. Sometimes you need someone to light fire under your ass and give you that tough love.
Being soft and nice will make someone weaker. Just saying.

Very important but both tact and intentions are important in doing so.

@trackman11 I use tact. I don't understand why honest people are called assholes. Maybe we should just sugarcoat and lie. Which I can't do

@ElizabethBabe1994 never need to lie and nobody should call you names. I have found that asking myself what my purpose in speaking is helps honesty to be more meaningful.

@trackman11 Even if you have to be brutal, it's doing people a favor.

@ElizabethBabe1994 but that is all you talk about...the brutal/tough love way to tell the truth.That tells me you most likely make the person feel attacked not helped.

@Fernie Ok...fine I'll give you that but I'm just stating a point.

@ElizabethBabe1994 what point is that then...to always be harsh when you speak an uncomfortable truth? Go back and read your words...you haven't had enough life/love experience to know how to act. Sorry kiddo...sometimes I gotta pull rank

@Fernie So you're saying all younger people are dumb? Look I'm 25 years old. I've lived long enough to know the differences between honest and rude okay and you will not tell me that I don't know shit about life. Im done. Have a nice day.
