I Have a Question

Why do people dislike bluntness and why is it often associated with impoliteness? It's just a person expressing themselves without sugarcoating things. They earn respect from me,too many politically correct people anyway.

I rather have someone be direct with me than to beat around the bush. But I do think people need to be respectful of other's feelings. Being direct and being blunt are 2 very different things in my perspective.

I'll be as direct as possible without being blunt. But if a woman asks me if she looks fat in those jeans I'm going to use all the sugarcoating I can find if she does 😝
