Is it normal that im so blunt?

13 Comments

I tend to be naturally blunt, uncensored, direct, straightforward, and don't tiptoe with the things I say and do. For example, when me or someone else is talking, or even just joking around I might tease or just throw stuff out about them to them. Uhh this is hard to explain. Like ill be like omg you have scary eyes and your breath smells like my cats breath and you have man hands. (its really funny actually when I go on my rants and what not, not just to me but according to others too, but I dont do it for attention or anything) But usually I'm friends with the person so its no big deal and they know I mean no harm. I guess its just because if someone says something like that to me if whatever they said were true so be it and I wouldnt be offended, and I guess I just expect other people to react the same way. Whenever anyone does get mad at me it is usually because I said something honest and it upsetted them because they new it was true. I also tend to have crude-ish humor. I really can't help it but I feel like it may get me into some trouble or hurt someone. Any advice? Please comment. Sorry for making so many choices, I just wanted it to be specific. :))

    Many people consider me to be blunt at times. I will call it like I see it. So here you go...

    You sound hyper and in love with your own thoughts. You have a bit of verbal diarrhea going on and your thought filters do not function very well.

    But this is something that you tend to grow out of as you get older and you meet people with different communication styles.

    It is both common and rude. It shows a lack of consideration for others and an inability to think before you speak. It happens. But people will challenge you from time to time. Your words do have consequences.

    And don't kid yourself, you do it for attention. Rarely does one speak out loud with the hope of being ignored. But what kind of attention do you want to receive with your words?

        I didn't say that I thought you thought it was cool or cute. I only meant that this behavior will give you some type of attention. Your filters are not engaged. And unless you have a serious health problem, you can control it, but choose not to. This happens to many of us. People with this problem tend to suffer from foot in mouth disease as well.

        And you don't have to do anything about it. Dont stop being yourself because you might offend someone. Just be aware that you are doing it.

        Nah, I agree with howaminotmyself:

        You do it for attention.

    I would like to say that it is common and very normal, but also rude. Friends can joke around like that with friends because some people honestly have humor like that. Its okay with them so they'll do it too. Everyone isn't like that though and personally, I don't insult people's attributes because I don't like it when people want to spout such negative comments to me. People like to confuse being blunt with being rude. Being blunt doesn't give anyone a VIP pass to outright down talk people, it doesn't work that way. If a group of friends get used to doing that then okay. Just don't be surprised when you either hurt someone's feelings or people start showing you how well they've been practicing their hooks.

    I do it too! And I have some friend that does it too in some other way, but when I do it she's all butthurt. For example:
    She: "omg when you try to prove you're right you scream like a piggg"
    Some time later: "AND I MEAN THAT TEACHER CAN'T FUCKING TELL ME I'M LATE IF I ENTERED THE CLASS A SECOND AFT--"
    Me: "And I'M the one who's screaming like a pig?"
    She:"nooooo my case is differeeeentt"
    God that drives me crazy.
