Brutal honesty is a good trait to have, but you’ve got to have a filter to know when to use it and when to keep quiet. I know. Thankfully, the few friends I do have appreciate that, when I’m asked for my opinion on something, I won’t sugar-coat it.
Uh huh. Parents divorced and 2 others went down the drain. If you have to say something negative you need to say it sweetly. And try to say something positive first, then gently say the negative thing, then come back to something positive so the negative thing isn’t all they hear.
