Speaking your truth is important—but how you deliver honest messages matters a lot. Here's how to do it without causing someone else damage and hurt.
Long after the brutally honest have shared their "truth," the recipient continues to feel the pain.
In our society, the term “brutally honest” is often accepted as a positive quality. Take a second to pause and think about your dealings with someone who is “brutally honest.” Is it really a good thing? The sad result for those who communicate with brutal honesty is that, by hurting the feelings of others, their true message is usually lost.
