Don't give background if you're uncomfortable. xD;

I've caught myself saying, "I wouldn't be friends with so-and-so because they act like such-and-such!" but then I have a similar friend who is like that. It honestly depends on what their background is like.

And I can understand that too. I was really attached to one of my exes because my family life was kind of harsh when I was a teen. Not as harsh as others but it got pretty bad sometimes. I digress though. With experience I don't demand attention from my significant other, however, I do feel that almost everyone appreciates that attention they get, forced or not.

If (B) or (A) came to me and said, "I'm looking for some real straight to the point bluntly honest advice." I would give it to them, but also suggest to maybe not take it to the heart as much because it's not my life it's that person's life. When my sister said things about my past relationships, and she said plenty..., I didn't tell her to shut up or I didn't want to hear it. I simply stated, "I get what you're saying and I respect your views. Thank you for giving me advice but in the end I'm gonna do what I'm gonna do."

If they ask you to be honest, bluntly honest, then be that way. They can't be mad at you for giving them what they asked for.
