You could hurt someone's feelings if you give them the truth they are asking
for, Moonchild, but only if you deliver it in a harsh or judgmental way. You
are so sensitive yourself that you can tune in to this person's emotions. Speak
kindly and with sensitivity. Choose your feedback based on this person's
reactions. You don't want to be cruel, but you must know that being candid
could help this person out in the end. Honesty is best because the truth will
come out eventually anyway.
