We all do this, and why?
is it to hide from the truth due to fear of criticism or judgment or is it to spare feelings of another?
Either way, what's the point?
The way I see it the truth comes out whether you want it to or not from either your mouth or another's and if you want to avoid the backlash, Just Put it Out There Man! Tell it like it is.
The truth hurts sometimes, but when you put it out there you don't have to back peddle.
fear of criticism or judgment
why the fear?
I've decided what works the best for me is to make sure my actions and decisions are something to be proud of and not hidden. If it doesn't fit either of those two categories then it's not worth doing.
these are the things that add in defining us right? So, why hide them? If somebody wants to criticize that then go right ahead.
to spare someone's feelings
people say they want the truth but get hurt when it's given.
don't ask me if you don't really want to know.
I'm just going to give you what you asked for
it's all in the way you word it
make it simple
try to imagine the world if nobody ever gave a blunt answer, and all the facts were vague. I'd go nuts!
Am I way off base here?
or is the world better off with it's translucent truths?
whatcha thinkin!?

ambiguity usually stems from doubt from some source.
One may doubt one's knowledge or ability to express something.
One may doubt the person receiving the information. This can be either doubting the receiver's ability to understand or it can also be doubting the receiver's willingness to understand.
Often being vague or ambiguity arises from the doubt that being precise would help the situation. That is to say, being precise would only make the situation worse. This is because the speaker believes it is better for the receiver to know they are being denied information than for the receiver to have the information.
If both parties were perfect than there wouldn't be a need for vagueness, but a fault on either side can lead to seeming justification to be ambiguous.
