so i'm standing with a coworker yesterday. she had obviously just gotten something done to her hair. it was a new look. and not a very good one. i hadn't mentioned the new "do"...and she hadn't asked. it was perfect.
so another person walks over. and starts commenting on her hair...how good it looks, how pretty, blah blah blah. and they have the nerve to pull me into the conversation. i was trying to slink away....trying to step backwards until i was out of the conversation. and he pulled me back into it. asking me straight out, didn't i think it looked great?
and i said nothing.
nothing
i didn't know what to do. i couldn't lie...i couldn't tell the truth. i just...well..froze. and stood there. and looked at her bad hair. and she looked at me, looking at her bad hair.
and it was awful.
so, here's the thing....is honesty the best policy? should i have lied? should i have told her that it looked great, she was hot, all that crap that people want to hear? probably. but i can't find it in myself to do that. i compliment when it's deserved...not just because someone changed something about their look, or bought a new shirt, or whatever. i'm not going to be that person who smiles and blindly gives out compliments. i just can't do it.
if you want a friend like that, don't come to me. if you want the truth. well...here i am.

This is a tough one. You don't want to lie, but by not saying anything...your opinion was heard loud and clear.
I think you are mean, judgemental, self centered and over confident. You are hardly that pretty, and even less attractive the more you write. How your family and friends can even take you seriously is one question I'd like to see you honestly answer?
