How many times a week do you think you encounter a situation where you "sugar coat" your emotions? You may be surprised to find out a new survey by SWNS says we do that 11 times a week! Usually either to avoid offending someone or avoid an argument.
Below are the top ten most common times we feel the need to hold back, and not really say how we feel:
- When you have to tell someone what you think of their cooking.
- When a friend asks if you like their outfit.
- When your significant other asks how they look.
- When someone shows you a photo of their baby.
- When there’s something wrong with your food at a restaurant.
- When customer service keeps you on hold for a long time.
- When your significant other is critical of you in some way.
- When you get a bad cup of coffee.
- When there’s a baby around that won’t stop crying.
- When someone at work asks you to do something unreasonable.
I'm not sure I agree with all these. Number six is one I'd feel free to speak my displeasure with someone after being left on hold too long. And I know my wife certainly doesn't agree with number 5, she has bad food karma and her order is ALWAYS wrong, she kind of has to speak up or she'd never eat. But other than those two, I believe the rest of them may be "must lie" situations. :-)
