    tonight I had words with someone I cared about and we both shared some harsh, but necessary home truths, and we were better off for it.

    so my question is, have you ever been confronted with, or had to confront someone else, a friend or a family member, with some 'home truths' or just things that you felt needed to be said? be as vague or personal as ye like.

    I'm going to have to have some words with a close friend very soon. It won't make any.difference whatsoever but at least I will have tried.

    Shouting at them to stop flinging everything they see around them out the window into the skip below, we've lost so many things that shouldn't have been thrown out, food, clothes, IPODS, paperwork, you name it, we don't have it anymore

    Of course. It should be the foundation of any strong friendship.

    Its when they take you off your friends list on facebook is when it gets serious.

    I wouldn't count someone a true friend unless we both felt comfortable being completely honest if we thought the other was being a cunt

    In a situation like this myself a friend of mine is turning into a right cuntzilla and people are starting to talk about them refusing to do things/work with them etc. it's getting out of hand and their attitude is starting to get on my last nerve. I'd rather not have to fall out with them but, if that's how they're going to carry on so be it. The awkward bit is for the last few days I've been dropping hints and they're not hitting home at all, basically just short of saying would you ever cop the **** on your self and get a bloody grip.

    I'm a firm believer in absolute brutal honesty in a real friendship. Without that it's superficial as ****.
