Question

--> ..to hear what you really think about them, instead of what they want to hear?
I like opinions and views? ;)
>>>>>>>>
Thanks, for answering in advance!;D

Answer 1

That's like walking a fine line between good and evil, lol.
It really depends on how the person takes it.
I know I'm my worst critic and I don't respond kindly to criticisms.
But I guess if it's done in a diplomatic and sensitive way, I'd use it to... as you put it, develop a stronger character.

Answer 2

I think most of the time a person can tell what others think about him/her. They just have to open their minds and see it.

That person was so worried about me that they brought me a bible and told me about god. I paied them the ties and offerings for the whole year in advance so I could secure my place in heaven. I now go to church twice a week because I now own part of the church because of the large amount of money I paid. I can say this is my church and I know I will meet my god when I die. You should join as well.

Let me see If I make 100,000 per year and I give them 10 % ties and 10 % offerings I gave 20,000 dollars an will every year. If they can get just 5 fools like me to do that the precher would be making 100 grand a year and you know there has to be more then just us five.

In the above case I would say someone thought I was a sucker. If it don't seem real don't do it. Because it is not real. And if you really knew what everyone really thought about you, well you would a pretty pissed off person. So yes it would make you stronger and a little more lonely

That was only meant to be an example not a blog or the begaining of a war story.

Calm down..

Answer 3

A person who knows well enough that anything said about them is not really about them are usually very strong people.

To be able to not take everything personally is a mature person's knee jerk response.

a lot of what other people think about us is based on their experieces, beliefs, and faith. So, for someone to assue they know you is always wrong. No two people have had the same experinces, genetic makeup, and personal experiences AT THE SAME TIME.

So yes, if a person is able to hear (and listen to the other person's observations objectively) and use that information and still be separate from it emotionally. Then yes, that will make that person stronger in all respect.

one must remember though - a lot of this and that pop-psychology bvllshit is just that - BVLLSHIT. And a lot if it comes from jealousy and hate (hence negative).

"Hi Kimberly.
The truth is so precious to me that I must, sometimes, guard myself against outrageous charges, in anger, from it's use.
Speaking just for myself, the friends I've made and kept have always known the truths of themselves. They revealed themselves all through the months and years of our friendship and I've reciprocated with equal aplomb.
Currently, I'm always open to more friendship; however, the responsibilities get a bit heavy sometimes.
The times I've tried to turn acquaintances towards friendships, by telling them what I really think of them, have been disappointing. Everybody seems more defensive these days, but, there's lots and lots of good people out there and I've met some great ones here on answers. Some have fine potential and I love the way they write how they think."

Answer 5

Yes I do thinks it makes you a stronger person to be able to hear the truth. The truth sometimes hurts and if we are strong enough to hear the truth about ourselves and handle it in a way that we can improve ourselves then we do become stronger. However I do beleive that alot of people don't want to hear the truth.

Answer 6

A true friend tells you your mistake even if it hurst however you need to say things with love. This means that you say what you feel without the other person being judged and not accepted. This is the reason why people don't like to say things to their friend and why other friends don't want to hear what you have to say. You start by saying "I think, I feel" not "you make me feel". And let him/her know that you're still there regardless. This is what i mean when you speak with love. You say your stuff without judging, condeminng and at the end give your support. And if she doesn't accept what you said...that's okay at least you did your part but still be there to listen and support her. Not like well i thought you said you were going to do this but here you are again..or things like well that was stupid. Good luck

Answer 7

It depends on what is said. If in the long run it would benefit them to know what you think go for it, if all it is, is you disagree with something, either keep it to yourself or be as diplomatic about it as possible. What you say may make them a "stronger person" but it could always destroy them too.

Answer 8

I suppose that would actually depend on the person. I don't like to hear negative things, however I do use them to improve myself.

Someone who already has low self esteem might not fair to well with the truth if it were not up lifting.

Answer 9

Very southern technique...you might just hear something in turn that you don't want to hear. So go ahead baby, and find out where your baby breaks, and you might find that the child is not as thin skinned as you thought, and was being about as polite as you.
OK?


I hope that was your answer

Answer 10

Yes. If the person is mature enough to take a criticism/or advice, then the answer is "yes", it'll make him a stronger person. But some people are so narrow-minded that they take comments/advice/ the truth as an insult or an offense against them.

You're welcome. ">
