The most important think to me, personally, is honesty. If you say, ‘hey I actually don’t like this subject/phrase/situation, can you not talk about it?’ I’ll appreciate the fact that you told me and not. If you say ‘Actually, I just don’t want to hang out’ I’d be 100x more satisfied than some shiftily thrown together excuse. Gel me if you need space??? Or if you want me to shut up so you can have a serious conversation with me? ? Don't be afraid to hurt my feelings. If you don’t like me, just come out and say ‘hey sorry, but I’m just not interested in being your friend’ because ILL UNDERSTAND AND ITLL BE SO MUCH LESS AWKWARD. Even little things, and I mean the “yeah your hair looks fine” or the “you can't notice the stain on your shirt” like yes hun, you CAN notice it. Don’t try and butter me up on something like that. I’d rather people be BRUTALLY HONEST than fake because it makes life easier. Really, how am I supposed to know something if you don't tell me?
