Is honesty and direct bad?

There's more than truth and lies. You need to know who needs to hear what, to do what you want them to do.

Honesty is something that makes you feel good, as long as you're the one to say it. But that does not mean you would always like to to hear honest answers, nor does it mean you will always win by being on point.

Be indirect, people that appreciate a direct opinion will probably tell you that, because they know that is uncommon to do and as uncommon to expect from others.

If someone is asking you are they fat, you better believe they already know the truth, you don't need to remind them. If you're asked that, and you for example know that person is starting to go to a gym or similar, ask them about their workout program. Everyone loves talking about themselves, use that to win them over, because probably the next time you meet, she/he will tell you "Dropped 4 pounds with that program!".

"You already know if you're fat or not"

"You know better than to ask me that."

You should always be honest with your guy friends. Be more indirect with females.

Don’t always have to be 100% honest all the time. “Am I fat” “no, but it wouldn’t hurt to hit the gym”
