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.

You are spot on. People would rather be coddled and have their agendas accommodated than to be told the truth about themselves. It's too painful to them.
