I struggle with this too. Plus I have this thing about not wanting people to feel bad. So I don't tell them how I really feel for fear they'll be offended and angry with me. My parents were angry a lot and hurtful in the things they said, so it's made me supersensitive to others' feelings. Trying to reprogram my brain. People don't mind honesty. We just have to choose our words carefully and keep our tone in check when expressing ourselves.
