Before i was afraid to do such thing... Im afraid that people think that im so harsh... that i have no feeling at all! Or they think... im not a human, because i hurt them if im being straightforward... But now, im learning how to be straightforward without losing myself as a human... i make that joke or make it "lesser harsh in the way to say that" or make it sounds relaxing and not emphasizing.... i know, if i say the truth... the truth that may hurt... because the truth is flawless... that able to open the flaws.... Once a friend asked... Do i usually wear something properly? If i dont care, i say "yeah... i like your style' but actually she is not... because the color is not matching at all, and she looks like weird... Her outfit is not proper to the situation and condition... but because you;'re my friend... i care about you. i tell her, she is better to wear this one and try to match with this item.. and so on... until she realize that what im saying actually that the proper outfit is supposed to be like that. But somehow, i say it direct to the point... im tired to make it too long, since i just have to across the street!!!what do you think? i saw in youtube, there;s an actor, who looks so cool and serious... but because he is too straightforward, what he says is become totally funny!!! i dont think that being straightforward is harsh, somehow its able to make people more relax because you will hear the truth! and not all people able to do so!!!

I used to be very quiet and not say much at all. I was backward and shy. I have been treated badly by alot of people and they spoke their mind to me at the time. I learned over the years to also speak my mind when I have to and not let them walk on me anymore.

Yes... its good! DOnt let them walk on you anymore... If we just keep quiet, they think that we are weak... for me, a quiet person just is like a volcano... so quiet, but its crazy when it explodes!!! anyway... dont worry to speak out what inside you... we are equal and freedom to talk! Gud luck!

I agree with u so much. To my best friend I always speak out my mind straightforward coz true friends don't much about your speaking style but your saying's significance to them. But I think to a stranger or a common friend we should keep our mouth properly and speak out our mind till we are ready.

It is good to be diplomatic. When asked to say something I will say it if they can take it. If not, then I just keep it to myself. There is no need to antagonize anyone unnecessarily. Life is good.

Hello my friend manya_pearl Ji, Seeing you after very long time. You are absolutely right, to be straight forward, if not it does trouble me. I always think, I am not able to tell and come out exactly as per my thinking. But, let's be diplomatic way. It is very true, when we offer Prayer or throw water to Sun, it is 100% correct that it is not reaching to Sun and my prayer may go vain, so someone may comment upon amd it may not be liked by me. But at the same time, if it is added with straight forwardness, it may become tolerating. I am too straight forwad type and I do not want to get my BP raised by sallowing the matter in question. May god bless You and have a great time.

I believe in truth and I would rather hear truth as well. Doesn't mean I will always like it, usually don't. The thing is its better to hear truth than a lie in my opinion. I am straightforward myself. Sometimes to much for some to realize this is just the way I am. I don't like sugar coating things to me that isn't making the right point either. Truth is truth..
