This one's been bugging me for some time now.. Mostly cause i used to be someone who'd always say this, and now everyone says it as if it's some kind of fad or like it's cool.
Theory of Being Blunt.
Here's my theory... people who enjoy saying that they're blunt, and think it's some kind of GOOD quality, are just trying to find a loophole in society to be rude.
too often now people are interchanging the world "blunt" with "honest"
this is a HUGE mistake. people who are blunt can't help themselves.. it's their nature.. and it just spills outta them.. true, you can be able to identify your nature and warn people about it... but not RIGHT before you act on it and hurt their feelings.
people who announce that they're blunt.. and then act on it 2 seconds later, aren't blunt at all... they just want to be forgiven for whatever rudeness might spill out of their mouth next.
I'm a big fan of honesty, don't get me wrong, and i don't necessarily dislike blunt people, mostly cause i think most of the time i am too... but hand in hand with honesty should come another word. "tact"
LOOK IT UP.
If someone is honest to god blunt, then they'd be blunt about most of their opinions, not just the rude ones. they'd be blunt on compliments too. yes, those exist too!
but you don't see them often cause most of the time, people just use excuse that they're blunt so that they get a "get out of jail free" card to being rude.
Despite what you think, it's not "cool" to say that you're blunt. not anymore atleast now that people are generally walking around acting like assholes.
