Straight Forwards?

[TheBlackCat]

Just curious, which do you prefer...?

Someone who is straight forwards with you and just tells you exactly how they feel?

OR

Someone who hides their feelings, and instead of telling you, they just block you without notice nor explanation?

[This just recently happened to me, so I am extremely curious to know which one is better]

Honesty, always. No point beating about the bush.

Definitely someone who is straight forward with me. I like people who are frank. I think that some people hide their feelings and runaway because they are too scared to say the truth in case of hurting peoples feelings. Unfortunately, that's how I am... I can never say something hurtful to someone even if it's the truth

Now baby
Is it gonna be you and me forever

"OH OH OH"

You're awesome for that! LOL


As for the OP, straight forward! im very straight forward, if you dont want the truth, dont come asking me. i dont care if it will hurt your feelings or not, if you ask, you're going to get it. if you think the truth will hurt, dont ask me!

Honesty is almost always better. There are infinite ways to deliver the honesty, so honesty doesn't always have to be like a spear skewering the heart, even though it is sometimes the only way the receiver will get the point.

The reason I say "almost always" is because of close relations. Sometimes a partner will screw up royally and feel guilty for it later. Confessing may make the guilty person feel better, but it's really selfish to hurt the other partner twice. If (s)he doesn't want to break up/divorce, then (s)he should just keep his/her mouth shut and deal with the guilt.

Honesty is usually better however there are times when not resorting to complete honesty can keep someone's feelings from being hurt. However when it comes to relationships, and the core of the relationship, it's best to be mostly honest, as in "I don't really like you...", lol. It's an individual call.

I really enjoy being fucked about for ages and having to guess what's going on.

Almost as much as I like loaded questions.:jk

I would just like to see someone admit they enjoy being kept in the dark.

I definitely prefer honesty and I would imagine many would.

The ability to speak truthfully without being cruel, I believe, is a rare gift that not many understand the importance of. So many times I hear people say, "Oh I love this guy, he tells it straight up." Typically, these people who "tell it as it is" usually do so in a very unnecessarily harsh manner. While comical at times to witness, in all honesty, it isn't a very socially thoughtful practice and seems immature to me.

However, there are times when one can't sugar coat what needs to be said ...

Honesty softened with a careful word choice is usually best.

 

[Tuffdisc]

To be honest I don't care, if a person wants to be honest I don't mind. If they want to lie about something, its their prerogative if they get found out.

I like to be told the truth but you do not have to be cruel in doing so in most cases. I am a pretty diplomatic person, myself.

 

[darkcgi]

I would rather have someone just let it all out
and say it with all the feeling and meaning you need

I use tact and humor whenever I can. Some people have mistaken it for being "political" when it was simply delivering the truth with respect. It's not being political at all.

Precisely. Its just being respectful.
