To all you people that sugarcoat people. You are worse than the ones asking for help.

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.

Posted by KoniuchaI have learned that the second you say "Awe sweetie" the rest of what you say is ignored. Straight to the point is the best policy.
There is always a kinder way to put things.
Its something like, always be kind to others, you don't know what struggle they are going through.
If your life is great, be thankful.
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.

Posted by SoulLOL. 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.

Posted by SoulI 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.

Posted by blackphaseThey 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.Posted by liya-bThat'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.Posted by SoulI disagree.

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.
Posted by febyBalance is a beautiful thing.
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.

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.

Posted by blackphaseThere'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.Posted by liya-bThat's assuming that it IS the truth.

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.

Posted by blackphaseThis 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.
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.

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?
Posted by SoulLiving 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.Posted by HappygoluckyWell good for you! Getting out is great isn't it?Posted by SoulI bet I have a lot more fun than you do boss. I vacation every month.
