how frank are you as a friend?

Nowadays is more and more difficult to find good friends, but once you managed to have a good friend honesty is a major part. A friendship relation from my point of view must be based upon a lot of confidence from both sides.

It depends on what it is, but if I think something really needs to be said I will say it...

I can be frank as a friend when a friend needs to be whipped to the reality but whenever it comes to cases like you have mentioned like aboved such as : lipstick on the teet or smelling bad, I would sometimes tell them through SMS or type what I need to say on my cellphone and let them read just to avoid have them embarrassed.

You are a very good friend. I am frank too and at the same time a quiet person. Sometimes I think I am better quiet because sometime I think my mouth is too sharp. I am really frank and didn't realized sometimes that it was really hurting someone. I love my friends even I am really sweet in person.

i do believe that being frank at times can help. but being blunt can sometimes be damaging. there are friends who are not that tough and ready to hear not so nice things, there are friends who are open. i think it depends who the friend is and her or his character.

Same here! :D I can also be frank to my friends. But only to those who are close to me.. I also see to it that they won't get humiliated in front of other people. When I have something negative to say to them, I whisper it to them or make sign languages.

I tend to be very frank and honest with clients that I have seen as a therapist. They need for me to be honest or they are not going to get any value from our consultations. With friends who ask, I will always tell the truth for instance, if I think they look odd with a new hairstyle or yes, if they smell bad, I would share my feelings with them, otherwise, how else are they going to do something about it. In fact they could end up with more problems wondering why people avoid them. I prefer totally honesty in return, as I believe that maybe the truth will hurt sometimes, but for me, it is always better that I hear it as it is. _Derek

you have to be frank with your friend.

Me too...We are the same SimplyD. I will them as they are my close friends. We actually help them right? It is good to help each other. So being frank for good things is fine to me.(^^)

Friend I am frankly women and talk with anybody whenever I am travel I talk any lady or girl and then after some time she will tell me ohhh really you are so funny. Because frankness is necessary. I can tell anybody like any funny words and I have confidence nobody will anger on me.

Friends need our frank and we definitely needs to treat them better.Love is a both-side relationship.I'm genuine to my friends and do my best to make them happy.It would really be a great thing to know that someone has always been stand by your side.

I am very frank as well, but only to my close friends. I don't wanna point out such stuffs if the other person is not a close friend, i fear he/she might get offended. But I know my close friend wont and we do the same to one another. Anyway I am as frank as can be with my friends. They know everything there is to me and i am pretty much an open book.

Actually, being frank is not really much of a bad character, but when you become too insensitive in your choice of words or manner of critique, that's when things get wrong. It's alright to comment on people like how your examples are; it's also important to be like that, and that you should say it as a friend, that you just have the intention of not wanting that person to be embarrassed and such. One just have to be careful on how they say things.

I am only vocal and frank to my closed friend only. Telling him/her the truth would definitely much help to build up your personallity and also for that person to be strong and aware.

Something good, if we can be frank with your friends or anyone. Although sometimes, frank very painful.

I'm a frank person but not to the point that I will offend my friends. I'm an honest person but it is very difficult to hurt a person's feelings specially if it is a friend. I usually weigh the situation, but as much as possible, I want to frank and honest with my friends.

I'm not really emotionally open with anyone,but I am in most all other areas like in those you mentioned above.My friends and I have no issues talking about anything.I'm super open and comfortable with all my close friends,even the girls.

I am also discretely frank to family or friend, but I have to admit if there was someone I did not like I would let them walk around smelling all day long...It's easy to talk with good friends and family, the hard part is helping someone you don't like.

we always frank our friends but somethings are more important between two close friends that is trust, truth,believe and always be happy with your friends.if we have any problem with your friends then without any hesitation say to our friends

I am not so frank I less talkative women and if people will talk with me then I will talk them otherwise not. But my daughter is so frank and she talk with everyone and my all family members are like her and her nature.
