One more time… With feeeeeling…
Where does one person’s sense of truth end in favor of not hurting someone emotionally? When do you stop and think of your actions before committing them? I think that I’m overly sensitive to the way others perceive me. I don’t want to be perfect. I don’t think that’s possible. I just wish thatI could find that one person who appreciates me being me. Someone who finds me attractive even though I’m a size 12 instead of the 6 I used to be. Someone who find my opinions to matter, even if he doesn’t agree with them. You know, that ideal person who meets you, likes you, and appreciates that you have faults without trying to fix them or needlessly point them out. There is a way to do everything and I guess that I’m stuck in my ways as much as the next person. I just don’t think that brutal honesty is the way to go. What exactly does that do? It hurts feelings and does get your point across, but at what cost? I wish that I lived in a time when people acted different, even if I know they aren’t. I think that I have more of the South in me than I thought. I’m content with not pointing out people’s flaws and instead looking for something positive to focus on. No one is perfect. Never going to happen, so why are we so content to rip others down to raise ourselves up?

It doesn’t.
One cannot know another’s emotional boundries magically. Most people are not psychic. What may be a harmless comment to one person, may be catastrophic to another, yet the sentence is the same.
Your opinions are that! LOL! Opinions! Dont’ be discouraged because another person brutally defends thiers, you must defend your opinions with just as much, if not more gusto!!! That is what a belief is. You have some facts and you feel if you had them all your perception would in fact be correct.
You gripe about what you don’t like, but do not provide an appropriate outlet for the other person to vent. I’ll always prefer brutal honest vice liquid white lies…:cool2:

Sometimes the truth hurts, but you get over the pain. And if there is something that’s wrong with you, if someone tells you, you’ll not only correct it, but be grateful after the pain is over. Just my two cents on it. (To note: This isn’t a complaint against any one person. It’s been happening to a lot of people I know, including me.)

I maintain that there is no one path to walk or one way to be. I think it comes with the person you are dealing with. Sometimes you make the wrong choice and are to hard them or not hard enough, and it can have disasterious consequences. Unfortunatly you can never really tell until you deal with that person. It’s a gamble one has to take in the name of friendship and love. Do you say something in hopes that you help that person and risk the relationship, or do you keep your mouth shut, knowing the person might be harmed by their actions but you don’t risk anything? It’s a fine line to walk, and I know I’ve done wrong to many people way to many times…..
