Is brutal honesty a bad thing?

[Gaijin]

No it is not bad at all!

I'm honest too... I'm more to say the first thing that will cross my mind than to think of an lie... ;D

To skip what been said, I will agree with Heli0s, ofcourse there is something I want to add...
Being honest can sometimes be difficult, yes! When a person asks you a question and will get upset by any answer you have for her/him, that will be the point where you need to think how to tell it to them... If you know the person you will also know how to express your self the right way, so that the person will understand better what you mean.

If you really have a "bad" answer for that person, try to tell it the way that will cheer the person up. Voice tone and all other stuff that can change ones emotions or stronger them....
Involving others, if possible, can also force the person to see the truth with their own eyes... The group always wins xD..

All in all, if it's a friend you will know how to tell it to them... If it's not a friend ... why would you care... just shout it out!
Being honest is not bad at all, the way you say the truth can sometimes "take your life"...

ps:
dial-up sucks... cYa
