Why do people get upset or offended when the truth is told to them? I am one of them

Like say someone speaks their mind, even if their brutally blunt to them and hurt their feelings. My friend told me my drawing was pathetic and nobody is going to want to buy it when it’s crap. That hurt my feelings so bad and I didn’t even ask for her opinion. My best friends is very blunt and brutally honest and tells it like it is and doesn’t even consider people’s feelings.

Because being honest doesn't mean being mean. There's no reason to being "brutally honest" rather than "compassionately honest" or "understandingly honest". People who are [i] brutally[/i] honest often are more focused on the "brutal" part than the "honest" part. It's hurtful and unnecessary.

@AmmieBell That’s what my bestie is

@AutismGirl18 doesn't sound like much of a bestie if she says stuff that's clearly hurtful and makes no note of your feelings. Best friends are supposed to support you, not tear you down

@AmmieBell Right? She said my drawing were pathetic and not good enough.

@AutismGirl18 I'd either talk to her about it and make sure she doesn't speak to you like that again. Or if she doesn't, time to move on. "Bestie" or not, I wouldn't keep toxic people in my life

AutismGirl18 · 18-21, F

@AmmieBell Were not talking at the moment

AmmieBell · 18-21, F

@AutismGirl18 unless she changes how she treats you, I'd suggest keeping it that way

AutismGirl18 · 18-21, F

@AmmieBell I hate her

AmmieBell · 18-21, F

@AutismGirl18 it doesn't need to be all that. At the end of the day, she won't care that much if you hate her, If she's not that concerned with feelings. Hating her hurts you more than anyone else. Just let her go. It doesn't need to be lasting anger, since that only makes it worse for you. You two clearly aren't good for eachother, your personalities don't mix, so it's okay to just go seperate ways without either one feeling the need to add hostility. That will only bring more drama.
