Do you sugarcoat things or are you brutally honest?

I think it takes a lot more intelligence and charisma to convey a criticism or a truth in a way that positively engages the other person versus blatantly expressing something. I struggle with doing that

@PepsiColaP Love the forthright comment...you dont always have to be honest and at least you know it and dont play bs with it...

@PepsiColaP Or is it the knowledge behind the scenes... to know that knowing is the REAL key :-) hahaha

@PepsiColaP Agreed, honestly doesn't necessarily mean you have to brutal or insensitive. I find that saying something tactfully can convey the truth in a positive way. An intelligent person can usually see through this but might appreciate the effort.
@JimboSaturn my mum is very good at this and I have noticed how it actually helps me be more recipient to what she is saying and also willing to change or look into whatever criticism about me is being conveyed as opposed to my dad who will just directly tell me the same thing and my first response will be the defensive haha
