keeping it real...where do you draw the line?

Yes this is hard to do but at the same time you have to be honest and let folks know when they are messing up and wrong! Now I'm definitely on the bitter side of my sayings but working on sugering it up sometimes, lol!

Keep it real is not the issue at hand here. You should always be honest. It's the WAY you go about keeping it real. It is possible to "keep it real" and still allow the other person decency.

hey there kyeedah,i believe in voicing your opinion without hurting others.why resort to 'keeping it real'?

I think we can tell our friends the truth without hurting their feelings or causing problems with them. I don't think you need to be harsh or sugar coat it. I mean I have been completely honest with some of my gal friends and they all appreciated it because I was compassionate about it. You can "keep it real" without being mean.

I have a friend also who is very frank even if she hurts other feelings. I always told her that you can say it in a nice way. Not to offend the other or hurt her/his feelings. Although its not so nice to pretend that you like the person even if you dont. But there are some ways i guess to tell the other in a most subtle way.

I do not like to hurt peoples feelings. If something is wrong or I do not agree with them, then I would say, but in a really nice way not to hurt them. Somethings are better left unsaid but. It depends on the situation.
