honesty

Ting Shen:
question
how can you be honest when you know your honesty is going to hurt someone that you know
and you don't want to hurt them,

Erika Dick:
hmmm

Ting Shen:
and the situation looks like thats the only thing you can do

Erika Dick:
well i think tact would be key
haha
you have to be honest with them
but try to go at it gently
and in a way that will cause the least pain

Ting Shen:
12: 06
timing huh

Erika Dick:
acknowledge to them that you are going to try to be honest but that your intentions are not to hurt

Ting Shen:
good point
taken
thanks

Erika Dick:
most people will at least try to take that to heart
ya know?
maybe not right away
but after they cool down
and give the situation thought
they would probably appreciate it more ya know?

Ting Shen
haha
love how you use the "ya know"

Erika Dick
hah sometimes i think i say it too much
