What Do You Think Honestly

What do you think about Arabs? What do you think honestly about their culture?

They are great people to be around, and hold education in a very high regard, and that is something I sincerely admire (have a quick glance at the graduate students in any scientific field at top universities). All the Arabs I have met (I live in Canada) are very intelligent (quite good at research fields), the women are very outgoing (not oppressed, surprised???), and the food is amazing! Oh they love soccer too so we always have something to talk about. Likewise, there is a really good Lebanese restaurant near my house and I tend to go there at least once a month ;) Similarly, I have an Egyptian bakery near my house from which I always buy cakes and sausage pastries! whenever the owner is not busy he has at least a 30-minute conversation with me!Lastly, their culture is great, I went on a local cruise once with my Egyptian friends and I was shocked that they could dance for so long! In fact, even the parents jumped in! Now in regard to Gulf States, I am not too happy about how they treat certain foreigners (primarily people from south Asia). However, outside the Gulf States its very unlikely you will meet these kinds of people.Overall they are good people, don’t pay attention to what imbeciles have to say; imbecile in this context implying people who dedicate their lives to finding faults in others, and believe racist views are insightful.

What do you honestly think of my voice?

I'm sorry. I will not ever give opinions or vocal advice without the person being physically in front of me. There are several reasons for this. The biggest two are:1. I cannot get an accurate assessment from listening to a recording. I have no idea about the surroundings you recorded in. I have no idea how you are using your body to produce sound. What good is my opinion if it sets you in the wrong direction because I don't have all the information?2. This is my business. No one would come to me in person and ask for an evaluation without compensation.Actually, there is a third big reason. It has to do with you. Quora is a great place to get honest answers to questions, but questions like this are risky. You don't know any of us irl. Sometimes we need people to validate who we are and what we can do, but how useful is validation from a handful of faceless profiles who can only give you a few paragraphs of what you may or may not want to hear? Believe me, I know it's hard to believe in yourself. I don't know what your ambitions are, but if you need validation, get out and sing. I live in a small area in PA, and I can come up with a half dozen places where I could get out and perform. There are open mic nights at restaurants and bars. There is civic theater. There are choirs like crazy. What I'm saying is get out and test your mettle. Get your validation where it matters, from an audience. If you're looking to really develop your voice, hire a teacher, one that works for you.I'm sorry. I know this isn't what you asked of me, but this will serve you better than my singular opinion on a singular recording. Music is alive. I can't do it over the net.

How do you get people to tell you what they honestly think of you?

Just my “two cents” on this question.In "all honesty", you probably don't want to really do that.As humans, we all have blind spots. And someone blatantly telling us what they think about us is likely not going to be received entirely well.We are each better at being social-psychologists rather than at being self-psychologists.IMHO, it'd be better, and more honestly answered, by presenting a specific question on a subject that you personally perform or act upon.Something such as, "if you were to do this (a thing or an action), how would you do it?"The questions focused upon your perception of yourself.For example, you ask "if your child did something terribly wrong, what would you do? How would you discipline them? Would you spank them or physically discipline them?The above question being asked because you spanked your young child and now you have doubts or are wondering what people think about you for doing this.You asked a question that's not directly about you. Instead you asked an indirect question.You're more likely to get an honest opinion or answer from someone when you use indirect or hypothetical questions.Now, if it's your spouse/mate or your very best friend, then you can probably ask them more directly because, as a dear friend or loving spouse, they will answer but also take your feelings into account, or they way they know how you respond to criticism (or critiquing).In any case, do not come out and ask "what do you honestly think of me?". No one needs to be blasted by the answer to such a broad deep question.Anyhow, that's my thoughts on it.Of course, if you are the type who has a strong sense of themselves, who actually likes constructive criticism then go for it. Just be prepared because the answer(s) might be more than you're able to handle.I'm by no means a psychologist or adept to all social cultural ways of everyone. I could be "dead wrong" about this.Good luck. Chin up. And remember, no one knows you better than yourself.Hope this helps.

Do you honestly think you're interesting?

I really don’t think I am. Some parts of me may be interesting, sure, but as a whole I’m really not.I’m very average in most parts of my life. I wake up, go to school, come back home, sometimes do my homework, and sleep. There’s nothing interesting there. I’m not involved in any extracurricular activities and I don’t really leave the house much except to go to school. I’m not spectacular in school either; I’m very quiet and when I do talk to someone I’m not friends with it doesn’t last long since I’m not good at holding conversations.There are some things that some people may find interesting; a few people have asked about me learning languages and one friend from Honduras seems to find a lot about everything here in the US interesting, no matter if it’s something basic like school or the weather. There really isn’t much though, since most people I talk to lead very similar lives to mine.I hope this helps!

What do you think of brutally honest people?

You mean those who validate the saying: “the road to hell is paved with good intention (or not)? Well, I do know a few of them that used honesty as a shield to blow other people off point blank with their unsolicited snide remarks.Some of these people are narcissistic with an ego the size of Texas, most of them are not very popular and usually hurt people by being blunt. I think honesty is good when people are asking for an honest opinion but unsolicited insults most of the time are not needed and we all know how truth hurts.I can still recall in the movie “A Few Good Men” when Tom Cruise asked for the truth and Jack Nicohlson answered.A must see for the great performance of two great actors of brutal honesty. Well, what do you think? How often you see that being honest is not good for both who delivered and those on the receiving ends.Ever since I was a kid, I learned to bite my tongue and trying to be more diplomatic so my words won’t hurt people while telling the truth; a thing called tact. For a long time in the 80s and 90s, businesses and politics in the US were all about being PC-Political Correctness that had tipped the scale of being cordial. I think the over correctness in social dialogues is the cause of “white speak” or tolerance toward Donald Trump’s outburst of racial slurs. So many supposedly suppressed feelings were being released in public by idiot Trump that are echo with resonances of the white supremacists or people who think that white people are being edged out of their high horses.I think the best policy to adopt about being honest is “keep your mouth shut unless you have something nice to say”. Always remember that while you are judging others, you are also being judged simultaneously. It doesn’t hurt to stop and mumble first what you about to say before blurting out. You don’t have to lie, meanwhile, you don’t always have to let truth hurt those you love.
