You can speak your mind and still be kind and considerate. You tend to catch more flies with honey and after a while nobody resents a hard truth in the mix.

On the other hand, being less considerate about truth means that people will ignore you or worse actively fight you just to spite you.

You definitely don't have to be passive, but you don't have to be a dick about your truth.

Note that I'm not saying that you're planning to be a dick, just that I've been where you are and don't wish that on anyone.
