Providing honest and tough feedback is my super power, if anyone is looking for a real friend out there 😄

Fine line between that and just being a dick tho
Yeah, knowing when someone needs honest feedback (vs just encouragement) and couching it in cushioning langauge is key.
Somehow couch cushion made sense there. I swear it was organic.
Yeah very fine line. It’s easy to believe you’re virtuous when you are telling the truth but feel psychological pleasure from brining someone down. That’s the zone you have to avoid.
Tone, patience and being curious are easier said than done. It’s always best to just ask questions kindly to first see if someone is willing to change their mind. If not, move on like James Bond might.
