Are you offended by brutal honesty?

I’m annoyed by those that choose to use no tact in unimportant situations because being brutal means more to them than being considerate. I used to be that person.

The thing about brutal "honesty", is that often it's less about honesty and more about being a jerk. Maybe they're saying what they think, but they aren't thinking very hard.

depends, if it's something i've already internalized then it's not so bad. but if it conflicts with what i believe myself to be obviously it offends me.

I can live without it. Already had enough to last a lifetime.

Sometimes you have to tell someone something they don't want to hear. Sometimes you are on the receiving end of that. I don't think either has to be brutal. If they won't receive it kindly, they won't receive it at all.

Before you speak, ask yourself these 3 questions. Is it true, is it necessary, is it kind? Silence is golden

Just the brutal part

I’m more offended by white lies and tip toeying or sugarcoating. Brutal honesty needs to be heard but in a constructive manner as brutal honesty is meant for humans to learn and grow. I take every brutally honest opinion as a learning kerb.

No? 😞

As long as you already know the truth,deep down,then it doesn't hurt as much.

No I prefer it, and I am that way myself

Honesty is a good thing I think, brutality is not.

Yes. Brutality isn't necessary and I always suspect the motives of those who employ it in the name of "honesty".

Nope, I further escalate it.

No but I get angry at the insincerity.

Yes but I prefer it.

No not at all........but it seems that others that I speak to are.
