I've been thinking lately about how I avoid being honest with people because I don't want to hurt their feelings.

What do you mean? Can you give me an example?

Sure. If someone asks me for my opinion on their outfit or appearance, I usually say something like "you look nice" instead of being more truthful.

I can see why you would want to avoid hurting someone's feelings, but sometimes being honest is better in the long run.

That's what I've been thinking too. I don't want to lie to people or hold back my true thoughts just to spare their feelings.

It's better to be honest, but there are ways to do it without being hurtful. You can always find something positive to say, and then give your honest opinion gently.

Speaking of being honest, remember when we had that disagreement about where to go on vacation?

Yes, we were and I think that's because we were both respectful of each other's opinions.

Exactly. Honesty is important, but so is respect.
