Overview
You won't be able to fake enthusiasm today, so don't even try. If your heart just isn't in something (or someone), you shouldn't pretend. It's important to recognize the difference between a harmless little white lie and a potentially hurtful lie -- and remember that frank honesty can be a sign of respect. If you have to deliver some news that someone doesn't want to hear, just be tactful and gentle. Deal with the repercussions, and be proud that you were honest.
