I'm doing research, again. I'd like to know if you have the strength to speak the truth. What's the most harsh truth you've spoken to someone in the last 30 days.
And please don't tell us to whom you said it!!
I recently told someone, "you are going to hell with gasoline-soaked underwear on!" (i used a more raw word than underwear)
I recently told someone, "You know, you really need to stop being an enabler and a crutch for people, you can't be super-saver (I said the person's name), always running to people's rescue, especially when they are not doing what they are well able to do for themselves. They are doing that because they know you will come to their rescue but they've got to grow up, be responsible and accountable for their behavior and you've got to stop enabling that behavior."
Yeah right! That is not deep! You are too funny! Yep, that sounds like something Marlene would say (LOL). I heard it from somewhere else but cannot remember.
Parental Discretion is advised. This is the PG version.
A friend of mine asks for my male opinions about guys that she dates. Situations arise that don't make sense to her and obviously the chivalry never was there. I had to tell her to...leave that dude alone because he's not showing that he cares about you. For him to do a, b, AND c he's showing that he doesn't care. He told you that he has women cleaning his house for him at any given time. He doesn't care if his friends holla atcha. Why would you move to a lower economic city just to be around someone and then complain when he doesn't do what you want him to do? Tieuel Legacy!
I think the harshest truth I told someone lately was that "I am saying this out of love, without passing judgement because I was no angel at one part of my life! Are you sure you thought about the situation, because talking is one thing, but seeing the indiviual face to face and acting on it is another. Temptation is a B___! and you need make sure you and the other party think wisely about both your situations! You either want to make your current situation work, or add more fuel to the fire! I love you but don't want to see you get hurt. Please think long an hard about the situation you say you are not going to get into, been there done that!"
Recently I was asked by a co-worker if he was a bit harsh with another co-worker who was asking if he wanted to buy one of the dinners she was selling. He retaliated in a less than favorable manner and hurt her feelings. I saw the reaction , but stayed out of it - I don't meddle in other peoples business!!!. But later on that day he asked me if he was wrong and I told him ,YES! - you came across a 'little nasty'- but we all have off days. He said he was sorry and didn't mean to talk in that tone- he said he did not realize it at the time. Later on in the week the two of them were speaking again and playing together as usual - we are a close team- and love each other!
