A fool gives full vent to his spirit, but a wise man quietly holds back. Proverbs 29:11

It all depends on the circumstances if someone says something out of the way to you trying to be sarcastic. People will do that, and they will try to test you to see what they can get away with by trying to push your buttons, or someone going out of their way to write a check with their mouth that their ass can’t cash.

• When you speak your mind people will respect you for it, It might make some people uncomfortable while also building trust at the same time.
• Speak your mind keeps people from taking advantage of you. They will stay in their lane and not cross it.
• Speaking your mind doesn’t always result in conflict. If someone gives their point of view about a subject or voice their opinion. You should be able to do the same thing even if it’s blunt and direct.
• When you hold your feelings inside because you want to spare someone’s feelings can cause you stress, even resentment in some instances. Keeping things inside can hurt your mental health and well-being.
• Avoiding the truth can cause issues to fester and lead to larger problems down the line.
• Balancing honesty with empathy can help ensure that difficult conversations are handled respectfully and productively.

Linda Carvalho is a teacher and her deep passion extends to all the students she’s worked with. Many of us allow other people’s opinions to dictate to what we believe, value, or perceive. It’s not always easy to stand up to our beliefs and opinions when others especially those we are close to and care about bombard us with their views.

I think it’s appropriate and warranted that they get put in check immediately. If speaking your mind is a part of your personality, you should not change for anybody. Being that speaking your mind is a part of who you are, you know how to relate to people respectfully and still speak your mind without hurting anyone’s feelings. There is nothing wrong with being straight to the point in a tactful way.

I speak my mind I never mind what I speak!
