Probably because you don’t want to seem mean or rude, but if someone is asking you about what you got on your midterm then don’t feel guilty for being honest with them when they asked. Now if you’re just going around telling people when they didn’t ask and being rude about it, then that’s a different scenario. If they ask you and mention how they didn’t do well, then just empathize with them and tell them they’ll do better on the next one.
