I really wish you could see me for what I really am

You don't know me. You never did. You've built up this totally wrong image of me in your head just because you're afraid to face your emotions while I'm direct and honest. It doesn't make me high and mighty. Wasn't I always gentle with you?
It's like no matter what approach I take, I end up the bad guy

I have a similar situation. I'm blunt, which takes ppl back.

@Wiseacre This. And let me give you an example.
Let's say an acquaintance is in distress and looking for help, they put out a general request for help 9 people say, "I am so sorry babe but I just can't help, sending prayers, blah, blah."
Along comes the blunt person, "WTF did you do this time and fixes it/helps them fix it."
Who is thanked? The people who were all noise and no action.
Who is forgotten? The person who fixed it but was blunt. (Forgotten until the next time.)

@GeniUs I don't get a clear pic of this. I've never denied sending prayers. Some do appreciate my bluntness..some!

@Wiseacre I'm saying; when people are in need I act whilst 90% of other 'friends' do nothing but offer words.
