╯SHIwol╰ 2,348 Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 I am a really straightforward person. Many have told me that my mouth is faster than my brain and I say things that I don't even mean. I unconsciously have hurt someone else's feelings plenty of times and I do feel guilty after that. That's why most of the time, I choose to just keep my mouth shut. When I do that, people would then ask me why I am so quiet. Well I guess I just don't know how to act fake around others (fake bitch probably, but my sarcasm is always the giveaway T.T) For me, I would rather hurt people's feelings than to kiss their ass. Also, I can't really do the same thing like I do in the internet. I mean you can die in real life.... Who knows there might be people who get so butthurt by my opinions and kill me lol So are you a straightforward person? If yes, how do others react?

ScarletWhimsy 2,203 Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Yep, same here. I'm honest and blunt, and I don't like beating around the bush. Waste of time. (That being said, I'm still tactful.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bulldog 956 Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 It's good to be straightforward but you shouldn't do it all the time because it shows how self-centred you are around people. That's why I always think twice before saying anything instead of being straightforward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stepkdramafan226 6,734 Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 No I am not, I overthink things. If I will hurt someone's feelings with my words or if I am being unfair. So if you want an honest opinion on something and I know it will hurt you, or someone I care about a lot, I won't say it without buttering it up. Unless it is absolutely needed. I am too tolerant towards people. Even towards people I don't like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naybloom 929 Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 very much , but I was raised this way my mom is like that too. Sometimes I'm thinking about something and without realising I already said it out loud People don't get offended because A- I say it in a funny way B- I say it in a innocent childish way (so people see there is no bad intentions behind it) c- I'm pretty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
INNA 1,227 Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 nah im not like im so jealous of you tbh because i can't say whatever's on my mind without thinking about how the other person would feel if i saod it it honestly makes life 10x harder because i can't exactly admit to someone i don't want to be around them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexâš¡Thunder 616 Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Very, and it gets me into trouble all the time Maybe I should learn to hide my true feelings and intentions from time to time, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Takamina 2,713 Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Depends on situation. If the person is someone that I dislike I'll just straight forward to him/her but I think it's mean lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starlight 1,108 Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Yes, for example, one time my mom dyed her hair and asked me if I liked it. I didn't, so I said what to me was the obvious thing to say, "no", and then she told me I was a really rude person. I was shocked because she'd just asked me for my opinion, and was mad because I'd given it to her? I hadn't even said anything mean. There were other incidents like that too. Well, I have autism and social anxiety, and since then I've had like a few days of being taught about some social things, and I learned that in cases like those you can instead make ambiguous statements like "It looks interesting." Lying makes me feel like a bad person, so being able to avoid it is good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
˹AS˼ 3,610 Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 No because as every single person who has admitted to being straightforward, you've all hurt people. You might think you being straightforward is a good quality and it is, to a certain point. At the same time, you're closing yourself off as much as someone who doesn't talk to anyone. Especially in close environments like school/college/work, people will talk about you and those people will think twice before ever approaching.

rayellaz 1,221 Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 sometimes i'm too straightforward for my own good and i actually hate myself for that. but of course, i'll still think twice before i say something. unless my emotion gets the best of me then... & i literally cannot be fake to people in real life.

ruppi 9,190 Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 I had to learn to open my mounth and be straightforward back when I was a pre-/teen.. I used to be too afraid to say what I really thought because I didn't want to hurt anyones feelings. ( I used to feel guilty over everything ..._.) Well but once I got over that I got more and more blunt. Lol these days I have to really stop myself sometimes from saying anything rude but I prefer being this way and the people around me usually like me being truthful.

lovely_me 3,237 Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Yes I am. Very honest and direct. The ones love it the other hate. I have extrem problems to hold back my opinion or to form it nice. I have always the feeling that if I don't say my opinion or don't tell it like I think, I lie. Lie to me and others. If I shut up its not honest of me and I lie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cnude 1,928 Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 I was brutally honest in high school which was good in some aspects but bad in others. But now I feel like I'm not as straightforward which can be bad bc I get frustrated with ppl and I can't tell it to their faces so I get even more frustrated.

Ludark 972 Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Yes I am very much so and I can't say that I am very popular because of it. But honestly while I try to consider peoples feelings, it's just how I am, acting any other way would feel like being dishonest with myself and others.

lipslocked 3,780 Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Yeah, I don't really like beating around the bushes ~ I've hurt some close ones because of the way I speak so I'm trying to tone it down a little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hexenbiest 9,172 Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 I think mostly I am. People sometimes think that I am hiding something, or not dare to talk, but in cases like that I just don't care. When I really have something to say I will say it. Of course I try to say it in a way that is considerable to others. I fail somemtimes and come of as rude though, because I am not always good with words. Straightforwardness and being rude is not the same though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
park jimin 429 Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 I don't think I am but my friends tell me otherwise. maybe it's because that I hate lying to people and I can't stand also being lied to Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
