That's a good question. I don't really sugarcoat things. I also don't really expect people to sugarcoat things when speaking to me.
For example, I quit smoking when a buddy of mine punched me in the mouth for lighting up around him. Most people would probably take that personally, but I knew deep down that I was doing more damage to myself by continuing to smoke than one punch ever could.
