You do it and it's done and you don't have to go home wondering what "THAT was supposed to mean".Jade Carverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06831429994944800039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8568656610692395739.post-58247081506518189192010-06-22T16:05:07.613+08:002010-06-22T16:05:07.613+08:00So, so true.

Although there is the issue of it going the other way (people being horrible and claiming they're just "being honest") I think the issues you've highlighted are much more prevalent - because society really DOES teach us as women to "play nice" and to avoid confrontation and risk. Snide comments and backhanded compliments are 'easier' to dish out, I think, because they don't tend to lead to open confrontation when straightforward statements might do.Jingle Bellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18140666771612038714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8568656610692395739.post-48812601500791337092010-06-20T21:36:14.424+08:002010-06-20T21:36:14.424+08:00Elimy: isn't it great we only have to do high ...Elimy: isn't it great we only have to do high school once?!<br />That sounds really interesting, but I don't 'do' Twitter. I may cave eventually, though ;)<br /><br />Heather: It's taken my boyfriend three and a half years to get me to just come out and say stuff! It's so refreshing and I really think it's mentally healthier, so I've just decided to extend it to all my other relationships. Thumbs up for honesty and uncomplicating things!Jade Carverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06831429994944800039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8568656610692395739.post-21382009859130102502010-06-20T21:21:34.948+08:002010-06-20T21:21:34.948+08:00THUMBS UP!

It makes dating my boyfriend so easy- we just talk about shit if we need to instead of being all cryptic. I hate when people make up excuses on why they don't want to go do something. I'm like, if you just don't feel like hanging out, say it, I don't care! I speak my mind about everything, I do NOT beat around the bush. If my friends ask me for an opinion they know damn well they're going to get one.Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04115089023525905294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8568656610692395739.post-4513851136263885312010-06-20T19:26:25.201+08:002010-06-20T19:26:25.201+08:00I understand you completely.

I had a similar situation in year 9, I sat by myself for months because I confronted a group of girls. <br /><br />Did you see the thing on Twitter where that guy had to tweet every time he lied? If you log it all up, you start to realise its easier to lie than you think.Emily Paullhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03483043817609949536noreply@blogger.com
