Seems to me, when it comes to expressing opinions and feelings, there are two kinds of people:
1. The Wolves in Wolves Coats; and 2. The Wolves in Cuddly Lambikin Jackets..
Group No. 1 are honest, express their feelings, good AND bad, give their opinions openly and interact out in the open, even if they are brutally honest and maybe offend or insult occasionally.
Group No. 2 hide their true feelings in order not to offend anyone, don a certain type of demeanour to blend in and befriend. They never really insult anyone, never offend with strong opinions and are generally liked by everyone. But are not necessarily what they seem..
Which group do you prefer? Which group would you class yourself in?
Personally, I think Im in Group No. 1. I dont always make friends easily, have people who dislike me I know, but am always straight forward and mean what I say, good or bad! Friends of mine have nothing to fear..
I prefer the company of Group 1 people too. I would rather someone who was honest, and expressed their opinion to my face , even if it didnt match my own. At least I know what Im dealing with then..

But you miss the group who consistantly argue just to be seen to win at all costs and I detest them. They are never wrong as it's the winning and not the subject that's important.
I am considered direct and forthright and, as a result, sometimes people think "lie once in a while, will ya?" due to being just a little TOO honest sometimes.
I DO offend and insult but not intentionally occasionally, more due to my complete ineptitude and clumsiness rather than out of any malice.
So, not sure where that places me as there are, apparently, ONLY TWO types of people...?!
xxDandelionxx: Not sure I TOTALLY match either....

I think there are a lot in group 2, and I´d say I´m group 1, but I don´t think I´m "brutally" honest, and I really do try...unsuccessfully occasionally...not to offend or insult people.
Grey areas as always. Ooops you´re American now....gray!

i definitely think you have a sense of humour - GSOH..
yea i often put my foot in it by saying what i think, many threads i posted in previously in this way were pulled.. am wary of the big arguments now as they are often started by trouble makers and usually end in cyber tears..

Well, I mean "brutally honest", in the sense that what you see is indeed what you get, and hear..
DodgeBabe: Ginger, I would MUCH rather deal with someone like you than someone who grinned on the outside and scarled on the inside and behind my back..
Thats my point; we may disagree sometimes, but at least I know where I am with you! Thats easier to deal with, for me anyway!

I never mind disagreeing with you because I know you don't take it personally, as I don't. I just love debating for it's own sake.
