serene56: Do you say what you mean and mean what you say or say what you think people want to hear
I try, but as I have got older, my ability to be tactful, while still holding my opinion, has grown less, I find I sometimes offend by my directness these days, but conversely, I have grown a thick skin, so retorts just bounce off me
serene56: Rider Different when it goes online for some though, don't you think

I generalise and talk in broader terms to become the most honest.
For instance I don't say to an obese individual that he/she is a gluttonous slug full of tired excuses(the brutal truth). Instead I will try to attack the culture of instant gratification, greed and feelygoods which makes people gluttonous slugs filled with tired excuses.
