yes - when you can't hold your tongue in situations where you should hold it.

That depends on the situation and you need to be a very good judge of situations and people before you decide whether to tell the truth, some of the truth or none of the truth. Outright lying is a very bad idea unless the truth is going to cause someone lots of unecessary pain. And lying very often backfires bigtime so best avoided.
Maybe you've heard the saying 'what the eye don't see the heart don't grieve' - it's true. So if someone makes a one-time mistake that won't happen again or have repercussions - its best left alone. But if it's going to happen again it might be worth pointing it out to avoid future problems.
You can be honest without being hurtful - just be careful how you say it.

If it isn't morally necessary to be honest and if being honest would hurt somebody, then, yeah, there is such a thing...

Wife: Do I look fat in this dress?
Husband: Of course you do, sweetie.
There is such a thing.

Yeah, If you hate a friend's haircut and she asks if you like, you should just smile and nod. That's not the time to say "You look really ugly in that haircut and you're fat." That's being a little too honest.

No...sometimes the truth hurts, but I'd rather know the truth than be lied to. This is my policy...If ya don't think you're gonna like the answer, then don't ask the question cause I won't lie to you.

There sure is. I am that quite a bit.... But people don't like it when I am too quiet and dishonest (by withholding opinion or whatnot.) So too honest it shall be then....

Yes, talking before thinking can hurt feelings

Yes there is. Sometimes a little white lie is the best gift you can give someone.

There are many times when silence is better than the hurtful truth.

no, but some people are just honest for the sake of being blunt, which makes them seem rude.
