"You've got to take the bull by the teeth."
--Samuel Goldwyn--

My dad is a take charge kind of guy. He's very direct and honest, sometimes making waves and hurting feelings as he moves. I like to be direct as well. But my life gets difficult when I try to tell people things without hurting their feelings. If I seem to be saying something, it's probably true. I don't like to fake feelings, but I also HATE hurting other peoples' feelings. This can leave me in a tough spot. Is it best to hurt someone's feelings with my honesty or should I continue to get annoyed by a person's inability to get my subtle message?

Hmph.
