Some people don't want to be told things in a straight manner. They don't want to be told things straight.

They feel that they don't want to be bothered by your problems and they don't want to hear things that you have to say and they also don't want to hear certain topics. Perhaps they would want those topics to be taboo subjects, even.

Part of having a good relationship with a person is to be able to know who you're dealing with and know what they want to hear, and more important what they don't want to hear. Perhaps they don't want you to spill it all out. They don't want to hear a lot of things that you have to say. They would prefer that you would keep it to yourself.

In other words, as much as these websites discuss the importance of being honest, there are some times in which this honesty is not demanded and as a matter of fact it might be rejected.

This does not mean that dishonesty is recommended. It means that there are certain things that should just go unsaid in order to meet the quirks of your audience.

Does this mean that you are distorting the truth?

Perhaps.

However, if the person is going to reject part of what you say because they don't want to hear the truth, they don't want to hear the things that you have in mind, then it might be better for you to simply ignore those things for the sake of peace.
