A friend of the family made food and she wanted to give us that food, I personally didn't like how the food looked, I was suspicious about what she put on the food, I was thinking Is that poison, so she gave us the food and I told her, "Nobody is going to eat that food, I mean we made a lot of food but thanks anyway."

I'm always like this, I like to express what I feel inside. My mom thinks I'm being rude for being who I am. Should I lie to people just to be nice?

You don't have to lie, but you also don't have to make the person feel bad. You can simply thank them for the food. Because it was a nice gesture, no matter whether you are planning on eating it.

And I'm actually concerned that you are really afraid that your family friend would poison you. That seems like an unreasonable fear.

You like to express whatever ugly feeling you have inside, however unjustified, and however much it hurts other people?

Yes, that's rude.

Please stop it.

If acting like a decent human being is lying, then so be it. Lie away.

Pretending to be a decent human being is better than being hurtful, cruel, insanely suspicious, greedy, heartless, and whatever else your "real" self is.

I suggest you get your hands on the books of Miss Manners; perhaps she can explain it all to you.

But look at it this way. Apparently, she used an ingredient you've never had before.

You probably missed out on the most Delicious thing you've ever eaten -- just because who you are likes to make up ugly stories about kind people.

Now you'll never know how good it was.

So, do yourput your self expression over the hurt feelings of another's?
That is pretty rude.
You don't have to eat it.
And, what did you gain by telling that family friend?
Poison? I don't think so, or she really would not be a family friend.
And, if y your mother was not suspecious, you probably should not be either.
Trust your mother.
Can you find the good in simple gestures of people?
YOu douns like you are very critical and that is too bad because you are going to miss out on many wonderful things that may not "appear" as you want them to, but will be wonderful on the inside.

Well, how would you feel if you made something for your friends family and one of their kids told you the same thing you told your mom's friend. You just might feel a little hurt wouldn't you.

Well, I'll put it to you this way there's a time and a place to say something like that. But that was just not the time or the place to say it.

Why would she poison your food??? Perhaps you should think before you express what you feel. You don't have to lie to be nice. If you don't want to eat it, be gracious, accept the food, smile, say thanks and then don't eat it.

If you didn't want to lie you should have said to her. I think you've poisoned this food so I don't want to eat it. You DIDN'T say that because you KNOW you would have sounded like a spoilt brat.

of you are rude... we live in a world where everyone try to be fake n nice to each other.. so I reckon just try to be nice even though u don't like it.. coz for example if you were the one who made the food, n I don't like the way it looks, you would be devastated if I say "ur food look terrible" or something similar..

just do something as you want other people do to you.. n don't do it if you don't want other people do to you...

Yes. it was rude. Sometimes, you have to bite your tongue. You don't have to lie, just don't say anything. I know that it is easier said than done.
If you were my daughter, I would embarass the heck out of you and make you pubically apologize.

Very rude. You shouldn't make someone feel bad. Just don't eat it but keep your opinions to yourself.
