    I have zero filter from brain to mouth. I get in trouble a lot.

    I just let it all out. Friends of mine irl tell me I lack a filter but you always know where I stand. Always.

    I don't think I even have to answer this.

    I attempt not to hold back

    it depends on the person honestly if they can handle it

    i have a huge problem with feeling bad if I hurt someones feelings

    This is because you're an incredible person :).

    For me...it also depends on the person. But if I feel something about someone, and its something that can have an affect on our relationship, I almost always (almost being 99.9%) tell them.

    Some people I tell all.

    Others I give a second chance, "you sure" before I do.

    Some I don't tell a thing to.

    *How much I reveal depends on how much time I spend with them.

    Pretty much this.

    I used to hold back, but now I can't shut my mouth and it's working for me so I'll just continue on with what's working. At least I know it's said, it's out there, and then I can just let the chips fall where they may without any regrets of what should have been said but never was! I sleep pretty good now.

    :drinker: :drinker: No beer--I'm very politic
    2 beers--I'm bubbly and open
    6 beers--I'm brutally honest (and funny)
    8 beers--I'm...well how the heck would I know?

    I gauge each individual first, then I modify my approach. I wish to be understood, and blurting everything out leads to confusion. However, IF THEY ASK - I can be brutally honest, so I always say that if you don't want to know what I really think, if you don't want to know the answer, or if you think you might get an answer you don't want to know, don't ask.

    when talking to people? meaning, when you are feeling something and feel like telling them, do you just put it all out there, throwing caution to the wind, letting the chips fall where they may? or do you hold back, protecting yourself from any real or imagined repurcussions?

    personally, i bare my soul. often times, i'm afraid i say too much, but then again, i'm good with the fact i don't hold anything back. there is nothing i wish i told someone.


    i figureeeee have this one life to live. and to make the most of it, i don't want there to be any secrets, especially with the ones i care about. sometimes what i say makes me want to throw up. sometimes it makes my heart skip a beat. sometimes i just feel relieved that what had to be said got said.

    so, if you are friends with me, don't ever think there's something i'm not telling you. with me, you get it all.

    Right with you girl. Only problem is that being that open allows people to take advantage of you and you get hurt. That part is no fun.

    I admire those who can hold back. I often think it's better.

    Why am I wishing you would have said head instead of brain O.o?

    I try to...but usually can't. If it's something hurtful, I will hold back though.

    I'm pretty much like you. I try to hold back but what I feel usually comes gushing out... I'm a gusher. :blushing:

    I'm like this with almost everyone but my husband. For some godforsaken reason he is the one I have the most difficult time being open with. Sad but true.

    This. I have no problems telling it like it is, unless it's my husband (but he also tells me "No" a lot).

    Don't know ya....but think just like you.
    I'm an open book.
    You will always know where you stand with me.
    Yes I hurt feelings but that is not my intention.
    It's easier to remember the truth than lies.

    ^^ This and this is why I sometimes get into trouble at work

    i hold back every day.

    there are probably thousands of things i don't say to people on a daily basis for the sake of keeping peace. my mind is one that works in sarcasm, cynicism, apathy, and jokes. So i know, most often times, if i say everything, I am just doing it for my own satisfaction/entertainment and not taking their feelings into consideration.

    this doesn't mean i am not honest. i am. i think communication is important and i communicate things when i think it's necessary and appropriate. but i think if i didn't constantly filter myself i wouldn't be successful at my work, or liked in general.

    i mean, i delete 75% of my posts on this site, and have thought about deleting this one the whole time i typed it.
