"Pleasant Deceit" vs. "Harsh Honesty"

When offering your criticism to a friend or stranger, do you prefer to provide [i]pleasant deceit[/i] possibly to avoid any damaged feelings or aggravating hassle, or do you typically provide [i]harsh honesty[/i] possibly to supply a better understanding or for personal morality. However, at the same time, one could argue that holding one's tongue is the more moralistic approach while possibly attacking one's insecurities is the lesser moral approach. How do you feel? Any tales or examples?

  • I'm brutally honest with friends who I think can take it because being blunt is more effective on people with a stronger mind. It's also sign that I respect them more if I'm willing to do something that's more relatable to my personality. Some people can't take brutal honesty so I simply present it in a nicer way but I do believe that it mitigates the severity of the problem
