Aquas too honest when asked for opinions sometimes?

What do you aquas think? When asked a question about how someone looks etc do you give honest answers?

I find I stick myself in some sticky situations by being very blunt and say if I see something wrong, don't mean it in a bad way or to upset the other person just my honest opinion. I don't get offended if I ask someone how I look I genuinely feel grateful they would be honest with me and not let me go out looking like crap.

Will give an example today my boyfriend (aqua also) asked if he was putting on weight on his belly, which he is I said his 6 pac is disappeared still got plenty muscles elsewhere though and it makes him more cuddly, safe to say it went down like a lead ballon.

Other time I told my ex he looked like shit which he honestly did because he had been awake for 2 days straight he didn't speak to me for a week after that and smashed his phone up through temper.

Too honest for our own good sometimes?

I've noticed it too lol Aquarius don't filter the truth and it's not with bad intentions but they say whatever they observe without thinking about the other persons feelings on the other end.

you know I was gonna reveal a lot

but it's too much information...

let's just say my man is HONEST as hell. lol

and you know it...i'm gonna tell him straight too.

as for other people I know my limits and I can tell who is gonna be crying and is very sensitive...so I don't say anything to hurt them or make them feel hurt because they are overweight or anything.

I don't want to dotthat to them.

in my relationship, me and my man are honest with eachother so it's no holds bar.

but you have to get a FEEL of other people....you just know some people are too sensitive....

Very true I have a cancer friend who takes everything to heart so I watch what I say to her as I've hurt her feelings before won't do that again.

I think it's better to be honest I think I struggle with my filter of brutal honesty, most of my friends know now that if they won't like what I'm gonna say they don't ask anymore but if they want the truth I'm 100% the person to ask. Was hoping my aqua would of taken my opinion a bit better but didn't take long for him to get over it he knew he had weight issues was just trying to avoid facing it male ego and all that lol, I love him either way weight doesn't bother me.

Yep it leads to some awkward moments trying to explain to someone you don't mean it in that way to be hurtful, I think we just think differently and don't see it in an emotional way

uh no, not me.

if I know them personally and I know how they are like.....if they are the sensitive types, I would never.

for example, I know for a fact my sister and her husband are very very SENSITIVE, and I would never tell them anything that would hurt them, if they ask me about their weight.

they are already smart and see the truth in the mirror. so I just say yeah you are overweight, but I would never say the word, "fat"

which are words that can HURT.

however if I know you and like me and my husband don't give a shit....we call eachother names, but at the end of the day we're hugging and snuggling. cause they is just words...but other people, and our relationship with them is different.

maybe those other peeps are not conscious of other people.

so you shouldn't "paint aquarius" in the same light. maybe you should write down SOME....cause I bet some are like that but so are many people under EVERY birthday..

it's also INSENSITIVE of you to say that all aquarius are like that cause it's not true.

Yeah sometimes it's just got to be said get it out there better than lying to the person so they carry on oblivious to anything wrong, truth hurts sometimes but dealing with it leads to better things and self improvement which I think we all strive for deep down facing our fears even in the smallest of ways. I just wish I could put it more kindly sometimes but I just blurt out the first thing that comes to mind and can be brutal, oops! lol

Aqua is not the type to sugarcoat when telling you something hence why others view it as insensitve or brash. We don't mean to be, it's just part of our honesty and integrity. We would rather be brutally honest than blowing smoke up someones ass.

I agree with both of these posts. Because I know which people I can say whatever to without hurting their feelings and the other ones that would be sensitive to whatever I say, I'm able to control it. The ones that can handle it, I say it how it is. The ones that can't, I still put truth in it but I spin it around to look pretty. The ones that can't normally take it are Cancers but I'm quiet here.

I don't see much of a reason to lie when I'm supposed to give my honest opinion. Though I personally kind of filter out certain things.

Loving everyone's responses here! Seems we're an honest bunch but we do so with good intentions obv there will be the select few aquas that are just plain rude as with any sign, but majority open and honest no bullshit. I love this trait of ours I think it shows we care to notice anything off about someone close to us, it proves we pay attention but maybe not show it and only want the best for you. It's not a knock down but a kick up the backside to do better ?

I'm brutally honest with all my loved ones.. close friends, family. I would never lie to their faces because I appreciate honesty, even though it hurts and because they know me, they appreciate it as well. If they come to me for some advice, they know what they get. On the other hand I can be rather diplomatic when it comes to ppl I don't know too well, instead of blurting out what I'm thinking, I simply remain quiet.. except it's a topic I have to add my two cents to by all means.

I've actually learnt to dial things down a lot.

Words can hurt.

Doesn't mean you won't still tell them what you truly think but the choice of words matter a lot.

That's why I like Aquas and Aquas like Sagis. We keep no secrets and can take the truth.
