Author Topic: brutal honesty  (Read 3232 times)

Am I the only one that's brutally honest to my parents/friends

like, when my mom makes dinner, and she asks how it is
if I really don't like it, I'll just say, "I don't like it, I really don't want to eat this," or like, "this steak sucks."
for Christmas, I got this UGLY jacket from my parents from walmart, and when I opened it, I looked all around and was like,
"eh. This jacket's pretty ugly. don't like it."

i feel like an starfish for it, but i don't wanna just lie and say the jacket's nice or anything lol
am i a bad person

my god, you are going to get an ugly sweater from me every year

You sound like a richard.

You sound like a richard.
I know :(
I dunno why but I just recently started doing it.

I simply appreciate whatever gift I get on Christmas, but on any other occasion, if there is something I dislike(such as when my mom screws up dinner, a pretty rare occurrence), I feel its better to let the person know so whatever the fault can be improved upon.

Makes sense to me. It's not like they can't just take it back and get something better. Really nothing wrong with not liking something and being honest about it.

That's why.

Nothing wrong with honesty but you could say it in a nicer way.

I'm generally as honest as I feel I can be most of the time.
I still try to be nice about things though.
Unfortunately you do sound like a giant ass though.

I am honest, but tactful with it. Maybe you could just do that instead, be tactful with it.

Your parents usually ask you to be honest about stuff, but I wouldn't say "this jacket sucks". Be tactful with it like Kamutog.

congratulations on sounding like a richard.
there are times you are brutally honest and times you aren't
when people purchase you something from their own heart, or labor hard to make food for you, you don't. You can give criticism but unless you make the next meal or pay for the next gift that is 2 times more valuable then the jacket, I suggest shutting the forget up and smiling.

He sounds like a massive richard yes but he wasn't being spoiled.
Were he being spoiled, he would have gotten a better jacket or somesuch.
He certainly could've been more tactful about it, hell he could've just gone with a 'grin and bear it' attitude but he was in no way inclined to voice his appreciation for something he really didn't like.

this isn't a material holiday jackars appreciate the sentimental value at least a little bit before you start complaining that stuff aint entrepreneur ed to your exact frequency
