When people need help, it means they usually have some kind of trouble/pain/distress. They don't need an additional dose of harshness or insensitivity to add to that.

Unless, you the person dishing the so-called reality, are afraid of humanness yourself.

And also, your advice is not necessarily what they need. Its rather pompous of you to think you have all the answers.

Imo, sugarcoating generally is dangerous, I don't think letting them be complacent by saying their life will naturally get better is actually helping. You should say, "your life is shit right now but here's advice on how to turn shit around". Beating around the bush doesn't help, actual assistance does. I've been depressed before (during saturn in scorp, yikes) but I could not stand people telling me "oh it's okay, you'll get better with time", it took my friend offering to spend some time with me that made things better not some nice platitudes about seeing the bright side of life.

A lot of people are negative or take a "woe is me" approach in life because they need attention, their life isn't necessarily shitty but they feel lonely and I think loneliness causes the most hurt and delusion in people.

It's all about having some tact on how you speak to people. Speak tough to those who are strong minded, and soft to those who are touchy.

I think bluntness is a form of weakness. It means you can't control the urge to be tough and seem superior then everyone. Some of the worse and most useless people in life are the ones who are blunt about everything.
LOL. There are weaknesses in the strongest of men. Even the great Achilles had a weakness. I control every word that comes from my mouth. The fact that I am blunt is a choice I make and in no way is a sign of weakness. I do not say rude things out of retaliation or fear of rejection. I say them out of love, that is not weak. Love is the hardest emotion to project, therefore takes the most courage and strength to express. You can say that I am being blunt because I am weak and insecure. You would be wrong.

I disagree. Bluntness is about treating everyone equally and going straight to the point. Beating around the bush is a huge lack of productivity and leads to condescension because you think the other doesn't have what it takes to not take it personally. Bluntness isn't the problem, it's the truth that hurts.

That's assuming that it IS the truth. Some are just rude for the sake of being rude. If you are actually trying to help someone sure blunt may work.. but carefully choose your words. I have often times seen the "blunt" ones say that they think they get through to people better because they are giving it to them straight and not sugarcoating shit.. but if you pay attention to the responses that come from those blunt msgs, you'll see that it only causes people to get defensive.. they are not listening to a word you've said because they are on the defense now.

They go on the defensive because THEY are weak. NOT me. Bluntness is equality. Plain and simple. To not be blunt and straight up is a form of deception.

I agree.

I'm being hypocritical though because ove used bluntness where it doesn't belong myself, but can admit its wrong. I can admit I was wrong.

Some people fear the truth. It will utterly destroy them from the inside, and they will dwell in the reality until it drives them insane.

People need to learn to think befor they speak, myself included.

Their method of truth and bluntness doesn't alway work, where keeping your mouth shut will work.

Take P-Angel. Shes an ass cunt with an asshole so wore out it sounds like a 2 liter coke bottle in a 40mph crosswind. However, she does have valid words of wisdom about the topics she chooses to partake in. I give her zero respect because she is the biggest hypocrite on DXP ( next to DJ).

Who in the fuck can sit here and give advice on others lives when they need advice on going to a grandpas birthday party? None other than P-Angel.

There's definitely a difference between being blunt and downright rude and offensive. To me being blunt isn't about pushing them further down but simply explaining a situation and its options without the emotional value which is usually why the person is being down in the first place. Pushing an emotion-filled response onto someone already overwhelmed with those is what bugs me but I truly believe that you can be compassionate and honest at the same time.


It's like a small child crying and sulking. What are they sad about? Nothing, they just need attention but the parents will either let it cry because they know it's just looking for toys and attention but some others will cuddle and baby talk to them for ages until they finally calm down... until they do it again the next hour.

You can tell someone how it is and give them that good lightning bolt but not be a dick about it. There is a fine line. Being a loose cannon is an extreme, just as is sugar-coating everything.

damn libra aries axis always trying for balance!
I have it too. Aries Sun and Lib Moon.

Who is being a lose cannon? A libra will naturally see me as a dick. A leo will at least listen to what I have to say.

I have a libra moon as well. I'm a big fan of fire suns for just what you are describing: speaking the truth. I also find the loose cannon bits endearing for some unknown reason to me. I think it's the omg the audacity thing.

In the same way for myself personally, I like the balance. With that being said, I'm just wondering why you wouldn't want to capture your entire audience? There is a way, even with a libra, to get your point across without sugarcoating. It's that balance. Unless you don't really care...and that's something else lol.
Btw the leo might think you're a dick too. They're pretty crafty at letting you know only what you need to know 😛

Because I do not care about an "audience". I speak to one person on here at a time. Group settings in real life are different. If you are offended by my words then something is hitting home for you. Otherwise you would totally dismiss my post.

Except 95% of the posters here aren't looking for answers.

They are looking for validation.

They already decided their POV before they post. They just want someone to tell them they're right.
HAHA! Rabbit found the hole! Bluntness totally cuts out all the validation, woe is me and unnecessary sympathy.
I always find the hole.

Except this one time. We won't discuss that. I wasn't proud of bringing her home.

I just wrote you can't go wrong will keeping your mouth shut, now you want me to open it?

Being blunt and rude only puts people on the defense. It makes them want to oppose whatever you're saying.

So it's pointless unless you're wanting to pick a fight with the poster or stir up a bunch of negative energy for fun.
LOL. Point proven. You are defensive already and nobody was talking to you. Something hit home.
What exactly is defensive about this?

Also, you do remember starting this thread in a public forum, right?

We are not saying that is it ALWAYS offensive, some people need and appreciate your bluntness, what we are saying is that sometimes you need to step back and realize that some need to her it a little softer around the edges. And generally we know who those people are.. All it takes is one comment to see how they react. So to have five or six others come in and just repeat what one person already did to get someone all worked up is pointless.
This right here is crap. 1 person says it and it could be a fluke. 7 people say it and that should be plenty of confirmation. I mean for fucks sake, the Prez don't even need that much confirmation to see the light in much more complex situations.

This seems contradicting.. Because that is essentially what I am saying.. They don't need to hear it more than once. One round of harsh words is more than enough when you can see them getting upset and defensive.. it's only poking the bull if others chime in on it once they see that a negative reaction is all that will come of their "bluntness".

When the 7th person says the same shit the others are saying then it might be time to say "ok, ok. these peeps might have a point and what am I not seeing that they are" It never happens that way because of ego and arrogance. Rabbit is right, they don't want to hear the truth. So, sometimes you need a "shock" factor or a "wake the fuck up" call.

Well good for you! Getting out is great isn't it?

I have fun every day just from going to work. I actually love my job. But no, I don't take a vacation every month. That's ok though I'm still thankful for the life I have.

I'm not a boss either lol. I'm flattered of the thought, but my boss is actually a great person. Very kind, wise, and giving.

No, i have always agreed with that part of it. The ones that don't want to hear the truth can't be helped anyway.. but it is a waste of all your wisdom to even spell it out for them at that point.

That is not true. Do you have kids?

It's not being dumb, it's having fun.

Balance and moderation is key to a good life.

You could use some tips from your opposite.
I bet I have a lot more fun than you do boss. I vacation every month.
Vacation does not equal fun for everyone.. Everyone has fun in their own way on different terms.
And Soul is supposed to be the Leo here.. Lol.. Why do you feel the need to one up everyone huh?
I'm not "one upping" anyone. Just stating that I have fun and vacation every month. It's a luxury I have worked very hard for and now I am reaping the rewards. ALOT OF FUN.

You seem to have a happy life.

So tell me, what makes you want to walk all over people?

What makes you want to be overly offensive, blunt, and superior to people below you who may be unhappy?

What gives you that right?

Well good for you! Getting out is great isn't it?

I have fun every day just from going to work. I actually love my job. But no, I don't take a vacation every month. That's ok though I'm still thankful for the life I have.

I'm not a boss either lol. I'm flattered of the thought, but my boss is actually a great person. Very kind, wise, and giving.

Living a healthy life is what life is all about. OK, you have never been a boss man so this is where my logic comes into play. Sometimes you have that stubborn employee that constantly shows up to work late (they are at every work environment). You have supervisors who are all easy going and laid back and never give them a reality check. Just fire them for their laziness. Then you have the supervisor who gets on that ass and straightens them out. Someone who is FIRM and STRONG and wakes them up from their laziness. The employee who never got reality checked will go to his next job and DO THE EXACT SAME SHIT ALL OVER AGAIN. Why? Because nobody taught him to respect himself or his work ethics. Same with raising children.
