The ability to tell the truth is a skill that requires a very fine understanding of what is happening. To hush up something to many is not to their liking, but to chop off the truth-uterus is not the best way out of the situation. Learn to tell the truth in such a way that those around you will listen and not be offended.
Instruction manual
one
If you are going to tell the truth, you must be completely sure that it is true. Otherwise, in the best case, an embarrassment for you can happen, and in the worst, with your thoughtless words you will offend a person. Therefore, carefully check all the facts, clearing them of your and, especially, someone else's subjective opinions and assessments.
2
Before you utter the desired words of truth, think about what you want to achieve as a result. What kind of reaction do you expect, what changes in a person? You should definitely think about this, since only in this case will you be able to extinguish the immoderate ardor and anger in yourself.
3
Any truth pronounced rudely, sharply, in a blaming tone, or even with contempt, carries only negative consequences, and the important part itself will not be heard. You will not only offend a person, but also make yourself unpleasant and will suffer from guilt. Therefore, try to pronounce the truth in an empathic tone, to emphasize that you understand the other person, but in reality this is the case. Act extremely carefully and tactfully, show courtesy.
4
Use metaphorical turns, stories about strangers who have been in an identical situation. For example, you want to hint to a person that he is a little fat, but talking in person about his kilograms is tactless. Try to talk about a woman you know who, in your opinion, is objectively spoiled by excess weight, and follow the reaction of your interlocutor. If he supports and talks about himself, then you have the right to give advice. In the event that the interlocutor laughs off and informs you that he does not see any problem in this, you will have nothing to do but leave your truth to yourself.
5
Never speak the words of truth in a raised tone, using screaming, emotion, manipulation, the expression "I think" or "it seems to me." In this case, everything that you say is recognized only as your personal opinion, which, moreover, you do not know how to adequately express. Speak calmly, softly, but using facts that fully confirm your words.
