11. A Hug and a Lie or a Painful Truth?

from As It Is · host GiGi

When was the last time a friend asked for your opinion and you immediately regretted it? In this episode, Maayan and I dive into one of the toughest dilemmas in friendship: where is the line between brutal honesty and loving support? Is 'brutal honesty to someone's face' the best gift you can give, or is a white lie sometimes worth more? We'll talk about friends who don't listen, the awkward "I told you so" moment, and the question that can save any conversation: "Do you want support or the truth?". Because sometimes the most loving thing you can do is tell the truth, and sometimes it's not.
