    Well, you know what? I want to tell you something...

    When you explain something to someone, or perhaps giving an opinion, are you straightforward/blunt, or do you perhaps sugarcoat it, as to not hurt someone's feelings too much?

    I tend to be a nice person in general (and I don't think it's worth my time and effort to truly get mad at people) so that might be seen as sugarcoating to some. I'm capable of being mean if I wanted to, though, but usually I just don't have any desire. So yeah - closer to a sugarcoater than a blunt person, I s'pose.

    For me...I'm a mix. But what matters to me is that I tell people the truth, but I care about their feeling,s too! That said, I might sugarcoat a bit, but not too much.

    I like to sugarcoat, but that's because I'm a yes man and someone who tries to be as courteous as possible in all instances. Making people sad or angry is not my forte and if I can avoid it at all, I will! Of course, if I can't and I have to be blunt, I try to be as nice as possible as not to rouse any negative feelings.

    I'm usually blunt. xD

    Especially when stating my thoughts and opinions. I try to be nice though!

    I used to sugarcoat things more...when I was younger, and perhaps a little more naive. Now, however, I either am rather blunt or just keep my mouth shut.

    I just like to get straight and to the point, for the most part. If someone does not like my non-offensive opinion on something, then I could kinda care less. Then again, it really depends on how stupid and uneducated their reasoning for THEIR side of the argument is....
    I may be blunt, but I am not hostile or condescending. Not intentionally, at least.

    There are rare instances where I need to sugarcoat something, though. It makes me cringe a little bit....
