You may be toning down your message or handling someone with kid gloves
when you should really be addressing an issue in a direct way - without
the sugarcoating. If you continue to pacify a certain person with a
glossed-over explanation, you will only have to explain yourself later
when it all sinks in. The best way to handle this is to be candid, and
state exactly how you feel and why. The whole truth, in this case, would
be better than partial truth, Moonchild.
