my brother got mad at me yesterday. he was singing a song and i asked him to stop because it was annoying. then he was telling me about his friends' kids, and i listened, but then i got up to go to the bathroom, he asked if he was boring me, and i jokingly said 'yes'
later, he said 'has anyone ever told you that honesty is not always the best policy'
he's not stuck up or insecure, he wouldnt say something like that to me if i hadnt geniuinly hurt his feelings,
which makes me think that maybe i make more comments then i think i do. i always thought i was a nice person, even if i do usually speak my mind. but maybe im going too far with it?
How can I tell if my honesty is hurting people? its not like im down right rude. i dont go around telling people theyre ugly or fat. I dont make fun of people. so what am i doing wrong?
