Q: How come everyone thinks im mean? all i do is tell the truth. I gues they just cant handle the truth. Do you guys appreciate it when people tell you the truth or stupid lies? I would rather know the truth not stupid lies people tell me to feel better gosh.

Whats your opinion

The answer to your question is one word. Tact. The WAY you tell the truth. If you don't want people to be offended or to get mad at you, try telling the truth with a little bit of consideration. Don't be quite so blunt and just say what's on your mind. Try and tell them in a way that's not accusing ("You're doing this or that") and if it's something that's effecting you, try using the word "feel" ("You make me feel bad when you do this").

Hope that helps!

I am back on the site and wanted to go back and thank people who answered my questions when I was younger. THANK YOU!

"Making sense of nonsense since 1982"

I'm a midwestern girl who has mistakenly moved to Nevada. My experience has taught me that you can never underestimate people... but if you overestimate them too greatly, you'll get to where I am now: disappointed with humanity in general.

Still, if you've got a question, anty up. I'll answer it, even if you probably won't like the answer I give. I'm honest because, let's face it, there's no reason to hide on the internet.
