When you care about people it's hard to hurt them.... I get that. But in the important things sometimes it's kinder to be cruel.
If you know someone sucks at photography, you can't encourage them to quit their job and take it up.
Of course if they are convinced they are spectacular at it you may still not want to butt in and shatter their dream. After all stranger things have happened. But what if they asked you for your honest opinion. At least then you'd tell them the truth, right?
And if you know your life is better without someone in it, and they ask you that flat out, it's probably best to just tell them the truth. Don't stay silent or hem and haw cos you don't want to hurt their feelings. Do them the courtesy of telling them the truth. Ignoring a direct question is rude. Of course this is assuming they have been decent to you - if they are pieces of crap then ignore all I said and be rude!
