Do you speak your Mind?

[JOSweetHeart]

If the subject means enough to me, yes, I will speak my mind.

God bless you always!!!

Or do you hold back for fear or ridicule? Afraid of what others will think.

I ALWAYS speak my mind. Sometimes it bites me but I am always true to myself

I sometimes hold back from stating what I think.

Like if your partner's **** smells bad? Do you keep that hidden from her, do you politely tell her, or do you get mad as hell and beat her ass?

I definitely speak my mind, though I have the intelligence when to hold the thought if no good will come of it.

One bad thing though, I have ADD (the real thing) which means I often say something very direct, and don't realize how bad what I said was until someone points it out.
For instance I horrified my daughter awhile back at the movie theater counter. The lady asked if I wanted some kind of movie card ticket deal or something...and I said "no I don't have the patience to stand here and wait on you"...now...I realize now how horrible that was, but at the moment I literally said what I meant...I just wanted to buy a ticket and didn'y want to stand there and fill out something...unfortunately there is not always someone there to tell me I said something terrible.

Depends. Online I do, but off line I avoid people as much as possible and keep my mouth shut unless I have to stick up for my kids, then I will go mama bear on your ass.

Never hold back when you're in the right.

I hold back if there is no point in arguing.

Me too. You just can't always have a civil conversation.

If a post is just too stupid I won't answer either.

That may be the best time to hold back. Consider your audience.
