Would you feel better if you had lied and she didn’t get upset? I guess it all boils down to how YOU feel about it. Sometimes I can be brutally honest, but I try to reserve these occassions for when I feel that my conscience won’t allow me to lie. Other times, mostly when I really don’t care either way, I just say whatever I think someone wants to hear. That is usually what most people want anyway. Depending on the depth of your friendship, she should have known you would tell her how you really felt. I find it a bit ridiculous if you ask someone for their opinion, and then you get angry when they give it to you.
