How come some honest and blunt people are disliked?

I mean they're the ones that keep you on check and keep from you making shitty mistakes. If you aren't doing anything for yourself or just being lazy, someone has to give you tough love. Telling people what the want to hear is going to make things worse and they're going to resent you. I prefer to tell someone the honest truth, even if it hurts.

@Bushmanoz Same. I would tell my friend, "Don't tell me what I want to hear." I got after her for lying to me about something and she said she didn't want to hurt my feelings. I yelled, "Well you managed to do that anyways! You lied to me! I had to find out from a stranger than my own best friend that couldn't even tell me the truth! Stop lying to protect my feelings! I don't want you to protect my feelings!! Tell me the fucking truth!"
I hate being lied to.

@ElizabethBabe1994 Yeah I agree, some people think they are stopping you from being hurt when they lie about certain things, but no, you are actually causing more hurt and taking away trust, which I feel is one of the worst things you can take from a person
