Fragrant Fragranced Truth I prefer, "Honeyed/Sweetened/Sugared Truth".

Telling the truth might may be a way of making oneself very unpopular in many ways.

I went shopping with my friend. She tried on a short dress and asked me,

"How do I look?"

To be honest, I could hardly hide my unsatisfaction reaction and she knew what was in my mind understood,

"You don't like it?! Why!!!?!"

I had that conflict inside me was in a bind for a few seconds.  I had , to tell the harsh truth or a nice white lie! I chose to tell a half truth laced with honey, a decorated one.

"Good but not enough! You Need to lose some more weight to wear such a dress."

I answered. I can read faces very well. She didn't like my answer decorated truth! I think she was deflated depressed.

I don't do not like make up and I hate accessories. However, I need them sometimes. Are we supposed to Do we tell people what they want to hear?! I know that telling the truth might may fire back on me or you but is it better to remain silent if not to speak up?! I would say that if you are frightened wary to say something "negative", then you end up it is better not to saying nothing anything at all! Saying something negative doesn't have to be negative because 1 honesty is the most valuable gift you can ever offer. Have a lovely day guys!

I too believe that speaking the truth is always the most important thing.  In the end, your true friends will love and cherish you.  However, you need a better presentation.  This is the whole topic on euphemism.  The art of speech is a difficult thing to learn.  Even if you say in with a second of hesitance, people will think you are insincere.  The timing is extremely important and is difficult to learn.  However, with experience, it can be done.

Instead of saying, "you are fat", say "you are looking prosperous".  Instead of saying you are a small sized, say "You are petite or delicate".  Use "slender" instead of "skinny".  The context in which you are saying is also important for it may be construed as an insult.  You have to judge the mood of the person.

Instead of saying you should lose some weight in your situation, you should perhaps say that the dress is for skinny people.  You are more full bodied to be in it.  It does not show the curves of body well. Or you can say, the dress does not justify the beauty of your curvature!  This dress is for skeletons!  You just need to learn how to package your words well.

1.  If something is negative, then it is negative and nothing can make it into positive.  Even if you physically changed into a man, you will know deep down inside yourself, you are still a female.

I'm not sure that "... you need to lose weight ..." is a 'decorated truth', Arwa. That's more like 'brutal honesty'!
