Do you have a need to be nice or would you rather speak your mind?

[DocumentaLy]

I find that a lot of people, instead of speaking their mind, will just say something nice even though they don't really mean it. They're just being polite. I'm not one of those people. I speak my mind.

You can be nice and speak your mind, the two things don't exclude each other.

[Mog]

I think it's possible to still speak your mind while remaining polite, which is generally what I do unless I feel the need to do otherwise.

I have to make a conscious effort to be nice while also speaking my kind otherwise I'll just seem rude. 

[laudeul]

I speak my mind when it's about something that affects me otherwise I'm a very nice person. 

[Ludark]

I speak my mind in a polite manner, at least I try to.

That generally means I water down what I want to say just a little to prevent people from feeling offended or attacked.

I do that mostly because I don't want to deal with the drama that comes from people feeling offended.

I speak in my mind .......... I encounter lots of user ..always polite but some is really arrogant  

[Psy]

I do agree that you can be both, but looking at your opening post I can see that you mean 'polite' as in sugar-coating what you say, which I don't like nor do I understand: there's never a wrong or right with opinions so why not just be honest?

[amber oppa]

Can I do both

[h0neanias]

Speak my mind in a more-or-less polite way. I can be direct, but there's a line I don't cross.

What this bella says.

[Ogre Shrek]

Frankness and politeness aren't mutually exclusive though.

 

People are much more likely to be receptive to your views if you are frank but mindful enough to frame your thoughts in a non-offensive way. Whereas if you just blurt out what's on your mind and it comes across as rude, your views are likely to be ignored regardless of their validity.

More of a combination of it speaking my mind in a good way

[Voldemin]

Well I see how most people here tell "ugly" people in the show us your cute face thread that they are beautiful and it's obvious that they don't speak their real opinion about them, anyways both things don't exclude each other, you can voice your opinion in a nice way and just not you are so fucking gaaaaaayy though most people here should try to become like me because it seems like I'm the only one here who can articulate clearly and bring my points without pointless insults across. Another reason is probably the reputation system some people are scared about their popularity in a k-pop forum so they force themselves to be nice..

[Grape Soda]

Sometimes i'll be nice but if the problem persist I get I irritated and just say the truth bluntly. Which I need to fix.

I'll be nice especially if I know the person is unstable (which I've come across a lot) but if they ask for the truth I'll be blunt.

This. I see no need to be blatantly rude to anyone, so I usually find a polite way to say negative things. (This is assuming that the person doesn't deserve rudeness) 

[Arrogant Prince]

I speak my mind whilst being nice.

[Good People]

I always speak my mind

 

So I can't stand weak people who get hurt by every single thing. You can't talk about anything serious with them.

 

Even if someone is my good friend and they do something I don't like I won't mince words tbh.

this. ^^

[YIXINGISM]

both. depends on the person or situation

[DocumentaLy]

I don't think people are getting the question at hand.

[bob_brown]

WELL it depends like say if your close with them

then just peak your mind cause you know they will accpet your criticism

but if your not close to them

then you'll be better off just being polite even though

you dislike watever they just did

or else if you are just not bothered dont do anything

cause sometimes...

;)

[Regina]

I say what I want but depending on the person, I find a way to express it that I see ideal. I don't like people with an "I'm brutally honest and speak my mind cause I fear no one." attitude. Like, what are you trying to prove? 

[Special*]

Being nice is for evil people

[Dragonseu]

it depends on who im talking to.

[Romeo]

It depends on who i'm talking to and i try to do both but

 

 

if it came down to just one or the other, i tend to be overly nice.
