Why don’t people like straightforward/blunt people?

I mean even when someone uses tact, they still get disliked.
I’m a honest person and when someone ask for my job opinion or the truth, that’s what they’re going to get and I’m not sorry for being honest. I do use tact though.
My best friend asked me why a lot of people don’t like her new “friend”. Yea I quoted friend because that girl didn’t respect her. So I didn’t sugarcoat it so I told her the blunt truth kindly, but she didn’t take it well. She got upset that I told her but I’m her best friend, I gotta tell her the truth. She didn’t speak to me for a while but later realized I was right about that girl that used me and took advantage of her and quite frankly, didn’t even she didn’t even like her that much. I can tell she didn’t like my best friend and was jealous of her success and everything. I’ve been trying to tell her for a while and also when her boyfriend was no good for her and deserved a real man.

People don’t want the truth. They want others to tell them what they want to hear, to validate what they think and feel. People need their egos stroked, they need to hear how right or important they are

@Wantingwidow That doesn’t work that way. Also when people get upset when people set boundaries or don’t like the fact that someone calls them out for their bullshit. If they don’t like that, tough shit! The world needs more blunt people.
