are you very straightforward and brutally honest about it? An "I don't care what anyone else thinks" type of attitude?
Or are you more gentle and mild about it...choosing your words carefully to make sure you don't offend anyone?

I would much rather be despised for being myself than loved for being what everyone else wants me to be. When I do choose to speak my mind, I am more often than not just being straightforward sans political correctness becuse I don't think it's necessary for everyone to go around walking on eggshells in constant fear of how others misinterpret what they say. I will not water down my speech, but I am more than happy to clear up anymisunderstanding as to what something I said really means or, if it is the way it looks, why I said it if someone cares enough to not automatically assume that they know, which is why I allow people on Y!A to e-mail me.

It's taken me years to learn how to be tactful without fudging the truth. I am a very honest person by nature but you have to phrase things carefully or just end up with trouble!

I'm straight forward about it. I probably shouldn't get as mad as I do when people don't think the same way, but it's more fun that way.

I always try and be tactful at the very least - rudeness is never necessary, no matter what your opinion is.

I usually say them in their face, its their problem if they understood what I said or not...
its both a laugh either way, for them to be pissed or too stupid to understand
