Are we frank enough in our activities?

I used to be frank round the clock lol ... these days i'm trying to stay calm than to reveal things on faces.I gotta work on this as i'm not supposed to follow the same with my colleagues...i certainly wouldn't love to tagged rude or arrogant.As for me it is really tough "Not to be frank" haha as i'm so used to it.great day.

Hi sweetie. Sometimes i think i am to frank. I will only hide things if that will hurt badly, otherwise i am as frank as you can get. TATA.

dear anna, Frank means?...being tactless (sometimes) or frank in the sense of saying or telling someone directly truth in their faces? Well,i always weight things when dealing with someone. Even if it hurts,if i really need to tell it frankly i don't have choice but to say it directly, i surely would. But,if you want to mean here is about hiding something,or some reserved things for ourselves like secrets...ohhh,i can say that,i don't have any secrets to keep from my family esp with my parents and siblings. Besides,i don't have dark secrets to keep with...i am an open book. You can read me word for words,cover to cover.

Normally i am a frank person to my friends. I am about 98% frank with them. They are friends. I am 100% frank to God. but the important point is i am not too frank to my husband. We are two different creatures with different attitudes. As you told it makes things going smoothly. My very first ambition is having a happy family. i want my children to be brought up in a happy family. i want my children to be attached with their father. I don't like to see a gap between them. So i do this and that to keep my family happy.

Hi :) Surely it is not possible to be frank 100% .. People always hides something either for good or bad. These days I have nothing to hide.. so you can tell that i am frank in these days :D But situation changes as per time.. When i was in college whenever i got bad marks in test i do hide them from my parents :DD

I am frank only one feeling is when I am hurt or sad. I like to feel alone, cry alone... I had never have who see me sad or cry since I am 20 years old when start to work. I always happy and smile to my people, yes sometime upset or mad .. but when I am alone.. there is my world to sad but not too long :) because I like to be happy with what I have :) Almost when I broken heart, no one know I am sad or cry :) ...the other things I used to tell them and show them the true and it is always be. Only sadness that I don't like to tell who.. keep smile ^____^ and everything is fine :)

I agree. I am as honest as I can be.There are times when I do keep things from others so I don't hurt them or to keep a secret.

I am frank about bad things related to me. Umm... I don't ever try to be frank, just what ever suits me at the moment. But can never be frank when I'm really angry. God knows what I'll say! I don't think I hide much from my parents/family. Actually they are the ones who get most of truth. For others, I'm quite close. But who told them to make an image so fast!!

In most cases, I'm honest with just about everything. I'd rather hurt somebody with the truth than lie to them. There are times I just don't bother because it's not worth it. People who are important in my life knows that about me so I don't have to hide anything. Whenever I say or do something to them, they know it comes from my heart for their best interest. They know it's my honest opinion & I'm not out to hurt them. Sometimes best medicine is the hardest to take. I don't like being pretentious. I believe if a person is not being 100% honest, then they are being pretentious. I don't hide things from people. I just don't bother with some because they are not worth my time & breath. If they get in my face or ask for my opinion, I will certainly let them know.

Hello Vijayanths, I am not frank that much because i know people have feelings. that's probably some don't talked that much to frank people because they tell the truth. most specially if it's the negative ones. although it helps us approves, some people or most are just too darn sensitive i think. so, i guess my view here is that we should say it with discreet.

Hi, That's right. I just don't wanna drop my pants in the wide world. I want to keep a few things personal. Besides, it is better not to overwhelm others with the detailed information about your life. No one is 100% frank. Sometimes we even hide information unknowingly, just because we don't think they are important. Sometimes we forget the details and present only the summary. I am frank, but I am not obsessed about it. I try my best not to overexercise my frankness. After all we are social beings and have to adhere to some protocols. Thanks. God bless you.

I try really hard to be honest and frank in all of my interactions with people. The only thing I have not been frank with is with my family and friends regarding how bad my financial situation really is. I don't know what I am afraid of but it is something I guess I am feeling ashamed about.

I am frank when I am not bob. jk lol I am mostly frank when I am tired, drunk, or enduring some other state of mind that prevents me from being quick and witty. I like to sugar coat things to ease social situations. It is a small price to pay for the peace of mind it ensures. I don't want to have to worry about offending anybody and not knowing it. I do not like to be frank about anything personal to other people or things that are mildly irritating to me. I don't believe anybody can be %100 frank either. The most frank person I have ever met was my father-in-law. He is very to the point. He is not rude or short with people but sort of "matter-of-a-factly" about everything. We get along pretty good but I think that is mostly because his wife is insane so he just needs to escape sometimes and chat with some one normal. I can also be very frank when explaining things.

Hi vijayanths, In my opinion, frank or not we ourselves can know it. If lies bring the good and happiness for other people, we had better do. In life, we sometimes have to do something totally different from our genuine mind to get the target, it is also normal. Never happening that not being frank affects to people and always know to control our behavior.

Funny how frank, fake and flake all sound the same. I see what you mean tho. I personally think that if you are a frank I am very frank with my husband as he is with me I am certain. But we are a special pair and have figured out what keeps us strong as a couple and its not up to anyone else to decide. I very rarley will complain about him to others. However there are those occasions as with everyone!! I dont consider myself not being frank with others such as my parents, in-laws, clients...etc..somethings are just not their business.

I am by nature open and honest about myself but maybe not so when I am relating to others. If frankness were to offend someone's sensibilities I will keep silent. For instance, a friend rang me the other day and he was mumbling and not speaking clearly so I had to strain to hear him and I had to keep asking him to repeat what he said. It was most annoying to have to keep doing this. The alternative was to either to tell him he was mumbling or to ask him to speak more clearly and either would perhaps have embarrassed or offended him. What would you do in that case my friend?

Yeah. It is very unfortunate that we cannot be fully frank in our activities. The most difficult thing is to avoid small lies that we can do it without noticing it. But, as long as we are trying our best to be as integrated as possible, I think we can at least put frankly manner the most in our life and activities. I will not be frank, but not to cheat. For example, when I am sad and people ask me then I won't tell that I am sad if it will bother people.

Well i am shocking frank sometime but still i wont claim to be 100% frank.There are some serious and moralistic people who get offend easily so i keep quite infront of them.Just like you i too want a smooth ride.

It depend on the matter to hide. But if this is family matter no need to hide things. A good thing to be frank with your family. Because it also strengthen family relation most especially husband and wife

I would agree. Sometimes we keep little secrets for someone's own good. It's also true that if we were completely frank there would be people who would use our honesty against us: for their own ends. A sad reflection on the human condition, but very true. It's happened to me befeore now.
