"Don't believe your friends when they ask you to be honest with them. All they really want is to be maintained in the good opinion they have of themselves."
I have been cursed with the inability to think before I speak. LOL (Well let's just say most times I choose not to) People often times will make the mistake of asking me what I think. They will even go so far as to say......."Tell the truth now!" Knowing full well that they do not REALLY want to know what I think. The sad thing is that after I tell them the truth, I'm left feeling bad thinking perhaps I should have lied. So what's the right road to take? I can't really say, because I still opt for the truth. "No.....that dress doesn't MAKE you look fat, you ARE fat." I guess it could ultimately be said in a nicer way, but the truth is the truth and it will still hurt. I may not like when my friends tell me what they think, but I am grateful for their honesty. It's a blessing to have people that you can be 100% yourself with. So speak up and speak out. Let your voice be heard. Just make sure that along with your opinion, they hear a little love.
