Do you speak with tact all the time or do you find yourself spitting out tactless or thoughtless statements once in a while? Are you the type of person who thinks before he or she speaks?

I have to say that i am really the sort of person to think before I speak, I don't proclaim to be perfect, there are sometimes when I say something that might not come out in exactly the way I intended and therefore have to quantify what I meant, but I really try hard to think about how the other person may interpret what I am saying. There are a few people that I've come across where tact and care don't seem to fall into how they speak sometimes it is cringeworthy to hear them say something and everyone will look at one another as if to say did they really mean that to come out like that. I guess it depends on the type of person you are, I always find that being thoughtful and tactful works best.

I am a guy who is frank most of the time, so being tactful is a little bit difficult for me, even though i try to do it. Most of the time when i try it i end up being really slow to answer.

I always try to think before I speak, but being a blond, I have trouble thinking straight sometimes!LOL I would never say anything bad about a person though. I am in the thought that if you have nothing good to say, keep your big mouth SHUT!
