In our everyday relationship, we come face to face with different type of people.....I was just wondering, would you prefer an 'OK, I WILL SEE WHAT I CAN DO' type of person who wouldnt do anything or a 'NO, I CANT HELP YOU' kind of person?
Put rather differently, do you prefer a diplomatic type of person or a blunt person?.......Why do prefer such a person?

Well, I think I prefer the 2nd one! The reasons could vary,but I think it's better to tell me directly that you can't do it than to waste my time, and drunken me with cold water!
Live and let live!

I prefer the blunt one, "NO, I CAN'T HELP YOU" please feel free to be honest with me so i won't bother wasting both our time, but if you say "OK, I WILL SEE WHAT I CAN DO" i expect something from you and at the end of the day if u don't deliver ammo hate u for it. Being diplomatic is overrated, it simply means lying because u don't wanna look bad.

thats becos the blunt ones tell some bitter truth and the diplomatic ones please U wth their words and in the long run, u get disappointment
who wants to hear some truth? we're living in a world full of lies e.g...it is a common knowledge that sex before marriage is illegal and immoral, but in our world today, U just have to tell that to the birds

The whole thing really depends on the situation honestly bcoz thinking abt it now, i av on numerous occasions delibrately acted dumb, kept my opinion to myself or just been polite to simply keep the peace, that is also diplomacy. People do like half truths, if u are 100% honest with everyone, you will have no one around you.

I prefer that bitter truth...........it saves me a lot of time and emotion........why raise somebody's hope only to come and dash it out of the blues?
