Mostly. Not always. Sometimes it's better to let your misguided friend believe that his "man bag" is not a purse, that his painfully mediocre child is "gifted," that his forth attempt at writing a novel "really shows promise," and that yes, that beautiful twenty-five year old waitress at Cheesecake Factory may indeed be flirting with him despite the obvious age difference.
It's often better to let a man believe what he wants to believe and not crush his spirit. Let others do the dirty work with their tough love and brutal honesty. Observe how he reacts to life's harsh truths. Then act accordingly.
