I think there’s a difference between standing up to bullies and being brutally honest. I’ll tell people off if their words are hurtful towards minorities. It’s not the same that I have to tell people they’re great for acting to what accommodates a minimum of decency towards people that are being targeted by bigots.

At SW I might add a positive reaction emoji to people acting with decency , but I’ll be aware of how they act as an average on the boards. I see no brutality in any of this.

Eye 2 eye, this is what I have thought for a while now.
And "Brutal honesty" should also include understanding the whole situation not just the part that offends a person.

Regardless of the behavioural condition that I have to live (& die) with (Negativestic Passive aggressive personality disorder), I tend to focus on the bright side of any meeting, event and happenings. That being said, I am natural when it comes to spotting the flwas and faults. Though I only do that professionally.

Are you honest about good stuff? Yes..

Do you compliment peoples positive traits and behaviors? Absolutely, at times i could mis something unintentionally, however, when opportunity presents. I do.

Or do you only open your mouth and flex your fingers to be " honest" once something negative is on your mind? No, i do not reserve for ONE thing, the negative "feedbag".

Yes, I compliment people's good traits and behavior. Do unto others...

Beware..someone here told me she was brutally honest then stole 1000 because honestly it would be returned, honestly brutal was more like it...never got paid or heard back again...

It is said that a lie only gets bigger the more it`s told, so it`s best to stick with the truth. It maybe painful to yourself or others, but they may appreciate you for it.

Yes, I do. I like this perspective.

That is a very good point. Can be used as an excuse to be an A hole.

This sounds like you've already made your mind up and anything I say will be used against me.

im always positivitly negative 😊
