That’s the tinder profile “I am brutally honest”. Honesty does not mean you can’t word things nicely or not say something.
Exactly! Way too many people confuse “honesty” and “rudeness”.
“I don’t like that red carpet”=honest
“This carpet looks like shit”=rudeAnd brutally honest is “I don’t like red carpet” while kicking your grandma?
Crowbar, that’s what it’s for.
But what if the carpet does look like shit?
“What a lovely carpet.”
But that isn’t the same
That carpet looks like shit=rude
That carpet hurts my eyes=rude and honest
Honestly, most people mistaken politeness with hypocrisy.
I don’t give a poopoo what you think.
You’re management material.
More brutal than honest, actually.
The “honest” is silent.
Honesty is not hypocrisy. In a world where “he’s gone” means “he’s dead”, honestly is almost always brutal.
Especially when honesty matters the most when people don’t want to hear what you’re saying. No amount of sugar and paraphrase will make a nice “I don’t want to talk with you”.
