If it's something somebody can't help, I let it go entirely. But if they had to work at it to get it so wrong, I'll stand on the table and shout "Halfwit!" :O)

Answer 7

I'm more upfront than most people, but I have a decent emotional understanding that some others lack. Both brutal honesty and trying to please others at all times have major disadvantages. A reasonable ********** of the situation is always best.

Answer 8

They may not like it, but somebodies got to tell them.

Just don't tell me anything about me. You hear ?

It depends on the situation.

Answer 11

But I am usually brutally honest, which annoys some people. It is there problem, not mine.

Answer 12

Sometimes the truth needs to be told in a brutally honest way, but most of the time it doesn't. Needlessly hurting someone just for the purpose of being able to say you are honest is mean spirited at best.

Answer 16

Brutal honesty is over rated. Why hurt feelings when you don't have to.

Answer 26

I won't lie, but I have a heart.

Answer 27

it...it really depends on the situation. like, i tell white lies to preserve peoples feelings. but if someone tells me to be very honest with them i will. o.o i mean i don't want to ever sound hurtful because someone could be really having a bad day and i'm not a hoser so i wouldn't ruin it for them :/

Answer 28

Answer 30

It depends on the situation. Sometimes brutal honesty is necessary, sometimes it could be damaging.

Answer 31

Spare feelings for sure.

Answer 32

I do spare feelings on personal level about personal things, never seen a reason to destroy another and kindness, for me, takes the lead. Truth can be a terrible weapon when used without thinking.

In business, brutally honest; in discussions with mature people, brutally honest, in finance - brutally honest and so on.
