When I mean honest, I mean honest both literally and emotionally. If I see bullshit, then I actually call it bullshit, instead of calling it "innaccurate." While the two terms may be similar in meaning, they are not equivalent.
- dagw 17y agoAt the end of the day it is about what you want to get out of the situation. Do you simply want to vent your frustrations and make yourself feel better, or do you actually want to try to do something constructive to improve the situation? While the former may be more satisfying in short run, working with people and being constructive is often better for everyone in the long run. I'm not saying you should never simply call bullshit, but before you do you should analyse the situation and the people involved and try to work out what your best course of action is given the result you want to achieve. Going with your first instinct is often satisfying, but rarely optimal.
