My friends seem to respect me since I'm blunt/straightfoward. Is that good?

I thought blunt was rude. When I get asked for an honest opinion, I try my best to tell them. I'm not rude, I just tell it like it is. I don't sugarcoat the truth. My best friends respect me and love that I tell them off when they are being idiots and even to me when I'm being an idiot. My other "friends" got mad at me when THEY asked for the truth. I lost a lot of friends because I was honest and upfront. THEY asked me. I was respectful about it. I guess they have been living so lie and expect people to sweeten up tgecteitg or lie. Nope not me! I will not sweeten the truth and talk to them like 5 year old. I will treat them like an adult and tell it like it is. Is that bad?

I understood what you meant. I agree it would make it worse by lying instead of just being up front and telling them the truth

@ECHO22: Ahh okay. Yeah. I mean my best friends rather hear the brutal truth that makes them cry than sugarcoat to make them happy.

@ECHO22: No shit. My parents didn't coddle me and I'm glad they didn't. I'm not going to coddle my best friends either and they love me for it.
