This topic is interesting to me because in the U.S., many people are afraid of telling the truth for fear that they might hurt someone else's feelings. This results in people not always being forthright and the sense that people may not be telling you what they truly feel.
In my opinion, truth and honesty should be viewed less as a negative thing in the U.S., generally speaking.
Granted, there is a time and place for everything - For example, you wouldn't tell someone who has a gun to your head that he's an idiot. Or you wouldn't be mean just to be mean, like calling someone names.
In a more practical scenario, if you think someone is doing an exercise wrong at the gym, or if your a stranger was about to jaywalk, would you tell them, or would you be afraid to hurt their feelings?
I wonder how other countries/cultures are with truth-telling and what the norm is.
Please let me know!

Hello!
I'm a native English (North American) speaker and would like to do a language exchange for Spanish. Please, only serious people. My goal is to increase my proficiency in Spanish.
Saludos!
Soy de los EEUU y entonces hablo fluidamente en ingles (americano). Me gustaría hacer un cambio de idiomas entre ingles y español. Por favor solo quiero hablar con personas que están serias en hacer el cambio. Mi meta es lograr la fluidez en español.
