    i speak the truth depending on the severity of the situation because I will tell people the truth. The reason being is at time people need to hear it regardless, but it depends on the individual and the matter then a little sugar coating is required to lessen the tension.

    It depends on the situation. If I'm talking about my feelings for a boyfriend...I tell the whole truth. If I'm telling a co worker how well I think she did her project or how her new hair cut looks....I might sugarcoat a little so there's no hurt feelings.

    Truth, but I do say it in a nice way most of the time. You can speak the truth without hurting people's feelings.

    If i like them, I sugarcoat the small things, like when people I know ask if I think that the stories they write are good enough or not, or whether that boy was looking at them, etc; etc;

    I tend to sugarcoat to most people.

    I tell the whole truth, but I don't say it harshly or dead straight, I get around it so no one is offended.

    I speak the whole truth. But I don't like to hurt anyone.

    Well on here I speak the truth. It's easier when you're not looking poeple straight in the eye.

    I tell the truth in real life too, but I'm not as harsh about it.

    its 50/50 i analyze the situation before i open my mouth.some people make a big deal out of hearing the truth so you have to sugar coat things for the sake of an outraged argument. I like to speak the truth.It keeps your conscience clean.
