Do you think somethings are better left unsaid?

Somethings are better left unsaid..
But also if you dont say something that might not be what the person wants to hear but you need to say it, you might end up regretting it.

Im asking whats worse, not saying something that needs to be said, but you dont because you want to hurt the person, or telling them and it changes everything but eventually they might understand

If your opinion is wanted, they'll ask for it, so I would say nothing.

its not a oppion type of thing.

more of how you feel type of thing.

If they want to know how you feel, they will ask. Don't offer your advice unless it's a life threatening or dangerous situation.

If it is a bad compliment, better remain silent.

I agree with them. It's better to keep silent if you can't say anything nice.

If so, you have to tell the truth in a nice way to make them a better person.

Is it about personality, relationship, friendship, or what ? There are many ways to have a good approach in order to make your compliment as correctional or just a plain comment.

somethings are but keeping it too your self is.like lieing and lieing is a sin to the book of Christ, so its better to tell the person straight forward.
