When your close friends disagree with you, your actions, thoughts, whatever, do you prefer they come out with it straight and harsh or candy coat things to soften the blow?
Are you the kind of person that is always straight foreward even when you know what you say can be hurtful, or do you often hold your tongue or soften your words to spare someone's feelings?
Personally? I usually try to get my friends to see things for themselves first, kind of guiding them through my thought process without exactly telling then what I think. But if they are being blatently dim, just refusing to see the truth for what it is as opposed to what they want it to be I'll not mince words. I've found that people are more willing to forgive you for calling them a dumbass than they are if you stand aside and let them continue to be a dumbass. That's what friends are for. lol
