When my friend told me to go to NYC where i can be single and rich i told her to go to that TV program where they help people to improve their "taste" in dressingroll eyes

Do you think there was a nice balance in this exchage of words?

Have you ever lost friends by telling them what you think about them? What can't we say? If it's to improve their behaviour, to whom should we tell the harsh truth?laugh

Honestly, I try not to engage in these sort of things...but, my buttons have been pushed before. I lost my best friend of 25 years over something she said, and my response to it. It was harsher...she had judged me without knowing the facts...but I lost a dear friendship, nonetheless.

No....never lost a friend in that way.

In general, I let my friends be. Their behavior that I think is uncool really does not motivate me to tell them how they should be. One friend of mine talks forever about BS, but I listen and try and see where he is coming from or tell him I know where he is going with the story, but he keeps talking and it annoys me a little. But I don't have a man to man toak with him and tell him he should be this or do that.
Only if they ask, and if they do ask, I try to be as diplomatic and understanding as possible.

Personal attacks on friends is uncool.

Kindness...a wors lost to the English language.

Well I try not to tell my friends the "harsh" truth..What's the point anyways? They will continue to live their life the way they think it's right and who am I to judge them on their choices. Live and let live is my motto..

And if my friends try to "fix" me wink I just smile and don't hold a grunge against them..It's always easier to "fix" someone else roll eyes laugh so if that makes them feel better, I will let them have their moment innocent at least I will let them think so devil (being such a nice friend grin)

whah?laugh

Some friends need your help...even if it hurts, if they are intelligent and recognise how important your role is in their lives, they will come back to you after you've told them the harsh truthconversing

in your view, she is probably worth your friendship than he did, not because it's a principle you have right? I mean, not everyone that sleeps with a guy you're seeing will always end up gaining your friendship right? Just be suregrin
