My family does that all of the time! It's so annoying, it's just a way of saying what they want without getting in trouble for it. I can't really tell you when to consider it the truth disguised b/c you really just have to know the person. Sometimes it can really be a joke, but if you feel that it's just a snide remark then it doesn't really matter whether they meant it that way or not. If what they said hurts, or affends you I would say something. Like please don't joke like that, or something else. It may not always turn out the best, especially if you really did catch them, but if you don't say anything it won't stop. Good luck!

It means you're already beating yourself up over whatever it was you did, so you don't need anyone to tell you what you did was bad.

Sometimes, when you need to be... but you should express how you feel, some people cant handle the truth... its always a soft spot, just let em have it easy...

Do you know the meaning of the word secret??? Let me tell you.......\n\na piece of information that is only known by one person or a few people and should not be told to others\n\nThis is why it is known as a secret and why nobody will tell you ..... If we have secrets that we dont want anyone to know then why would we tell you???

Telling may not get you the reaction you want, but trust me, if you don't say how you feel, you will regret it years later.  The older you get, you will realize that you should have let the people in your life know how you feel about them.\n\nThis person may not love you back, but he/she will think about what you have told them.  They will reflect on it for years to come.

I really hate this saying. It means that someone could care less if you cried so much you could form a river. I think this is heartless and one of the most cruel things you could say to someone. Some people don't think what the person is crying about is important or they just don't care that this person is that upset over the situation. Yes some people are really sensitive(myself included) but a tear is not to be taken lightly, if it makes them cry it is important to them. And saying cry me a river just make it worse and can really make a hurtful situation so much worse on the one crying. \n\nBut if someone has hurt you so bad and then they try and come and cry to you about how sorry they are then that is another thing. If they are truly sorry the tears may be real and then it might not be right to say. But if they are always doing things like that then yeah it is appropriate to say it then.\n\nWell thats what it means to me, how about you?

They hate when someone else recognizes that they are lying or they don't want to admit something to themselves. It doesn't seem so bad until they hear it from another person.\n\nI'd personally rather hear the truth even if it makes me mad. At least I respect you for saying it.

Literally I think it means to excuse or to pardon ones mistake, but this was no mistake and you have every right to feel the way you do. Some people say they do it because it helps them to accept what happened, releases their anger and allows them to focus on healing. Others I think are more self serving in that they want to seem the better person in appearances and receive the praise that accompanies it all the while still harboring their grief and anger. The thing is that there is no right or wrong way to feel in these situations, but in time you do have to learn how to cope with it. You can't forget about it because it did happen and you are not required to forgive, but you can not let it be all consuming and ruin your happiness and peace of mind. Take Care and Be Happy.

its an expression that canbe used to represne tmany mistakes. like forgetting what you were just talking about when a converstaion is interrupted. Or it could be when you forget what you were just watching, or forgetting the simplist of things. All these mistakes happen all the time, depending on how stupid it was is how big of a fart it was.

I think that it means to sort out how you really feel about someone/something.

It means that you should point out other peoples problems when you have the same problems yourself.\n\ni.e.  You wouldn't want someone throwing a stone back at your glass house would you?

If you tell the truth about something and it offends someone it is not your fault. If someone chooses to take offense to the truth they have the problem.

Do you mean "to put your foot in it"?\nIt means to make a blunder, a faux pas, an indiscretion. "Whoops. What have I said?" sort of thing.
