Open honest communication is ALWAYS the best way to go even though it is often the hardest, put your selfish insecurities and your ego to the side and do the right thing. On the other hand, ALWAYS be prepared to hear and handle the truth, put your ego aside and get over yourself. It is not up to us to decide how someone else is going to handle what we are going to say, we have to give him or her that option, as long as we are open, honest and truthful. When someone says “I didn’t want to tell you because I didn’t want to hurt your feelings” or ” I didn’t want you to get mad”, if it is something that concerns me then let me decide how I am going to handle it, it doesn’t matter who you are, mother, brother, daughter, friend or partner, it is our moral responsibility to be honest and forthcoming as well as reasonable and rational to accept the truth. Don’t be that person that tries to protect every ones feelings and don’t be that person that wants to shoot the messenger. Being honest is bold, courageous and sexy.
