Do people really mind...?

Everyone's different.  Of course some people mind.  But whether people mind or not...it's really unprofessional and that's a conversation probably best left for off hours.

Some people really do mean it, but I believe the majority of people say it just to be polite. At least their mind is in the right place in trying to be considerate to a person. I'd say 50% of our daily speech is occupied saying to others what we think they want to hear, but I'm just guessing on the percentage.

Yahoo Answers makes one sad fact abundantly clear: People do not like to think too hard.\n\nReeses Pieces, by the way.

If it's actually neccessary but if they are not going to care anyway what's the point.\n\nIt is not advisable,  to venture unsolicited opinions. You should spare yourself the embarrassing discovery of their exact value to your listener. \nAyn Rand

because that's what is in THEIR head, people tend to think about others what they really mean about themselvs. when they say that , they are saying : do I really love him/her. it's their question and their thought about what they feel. byron katie has done some interesting work on this subject, I think her site is www.thework.com    take a peek there it is really enlightening.

yep. some of there assumptions are right about me. which comes in handy when i need good "party and smoking" friends. but some are off the wall. i still have an appreciation for things and music that are beautiful and i have absolutely no morals. so, i don't know what they say or assume. i don't care, let them talk and get caught up. there's no way anyone could know everything about me in a five second glance, so i don't care. i value few people's opinions and even only sometimes.\n\nAND MAY I RESPOND ASSUMTIONS MAY BE OUR NATURE, BUT WE'RE NOT  CHILDREN SO WE SHOULD KNOW AND PUT INTO ACTION THAT IF IT LOOKS LIKE A DUCK IT COULD BE A DOG ON A BAD DAY.

Not really. If you are blunt and honest with people that can be a great quality to possess. People will know that you do not sugar coat things and that you tell them exactly how you feel. Some people are overly sensitive and cant handle critism.  if they dont want to hear your honest opinion then they should nt ask. In that respect maybe people are conditioned to think that by asking someone their opinion they are going to lie to them to make them feel better. Good for you in breaking the stereotypical view of what should and how something should be said.
