Being insincere will make a difficult situation worse. If someone asks for your honest opinion, give it as diplomatically as possible. Don't pretend to like something you find unimpressive. Admit that you find a person's behaviour offensive. Your remarks will get a chilly response, but at least you'll be on record as being truthful. It isn't your job to coddle a person whose actions and words are displeasing. Turn your attention to relationships that make you feel supported and validated.
