Are Blunt People Honest People?<\/h4>\n

Billy Joel famously wrote and sang in his song, Honesty<\/em>, \u201cHonesty is hardly ever heard, but mostly what I need from you.\u201d We need honesty, right? We need people to tell us the truth in all things, whether it\u2019s how we look in an outfit, if the meal we made tastes good, or if they think our partners are being unfaithful. And who do we turn to for honesty?<\/strong><\/a> Often, it\u2019s our friends and loved ones, but some of them are better at being honest than others. They may tell us what they think we want to hear, or they may be blunt to the point of being hurtful. Some people just have a way of not sugarcoating something, and even if they never intend to be malicious, their words can still be hurtful. If you value someone\u2019s honest opinion, but can\u2019t stand the way in which they deliver it, this article is for you. Here are my five tips for handling blunt people.<\/p>\n

Personal Attack or Pattern?<\/strong><\/p>\n

When someone says something hurtful to you, even if it\u2019s the truth, you probably feel attacked. You probably feel like they singled you out. But do they reserve their blunt approach for you, or is that just how they talk to everyone? Before you get too insulted,<\/strong><\/a> observe how this blunt person speaks to their other friends. Are they just as blunt with them? If they are, know that their bluntness is not a personal attack on you, but rather, it\u2019s how they talk to people. You might feel less insulted and hurt if you know you aren\u2019t the only person they talk to like that.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Filter Their Words<\/strong><\/p>\n

It may be challenging to find the care and concern in the words of a blunt person<\/strong><\/a>. It\u2019s easy to feel judged, but carefully consider their words. They may not be good at saying they\u2019re concerned, so they say something seemingly judgmental instead. Do they bring up a good point? Are they addressing something significant that you\u2019ve been avoiding? Maybe what they\u2019re saying hurts you because there\u2019s some truth to it.<\/p>\n

Address Your Discomfort<\/strong><\/p>\n

If their blunt words are making you uncomfortable, you need to address your discomfort. In order for any type of relationship to last, whether it\u2019s a romance or a friendship, there needs to be compromise. This means that you both have to give a little. So confront your blunt friend and let them know how their words make you feel. Ask them to be kinder in the future. And then promise to be less sensitive. If they care about you and your feelings, they will acknowledge the hurt they\u2019ve caused, and promise to do better in the future. And if you care about your friendship with them, you will strive to develop a thicker skin.<\/p>\n

Are you rightfully upset or just too sensitive? Let Psychic Bridget ext. 5249 determine if your feelings are justified.<\/strong> <\/em><\/a><\/p>\n

Don\u2019t Ask Them for Advice<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re soliciting advice from a blunt person, and you\u2019re hurt by their delivery, consider not asking them for advice anymore. If you keep asking them for advice, and they keep hurting you, do you keep asking them for advice because you think it\u2019s going to be different the next time? It won\u2019t be. And some blunt people like to share unsolicited advice. If that\u2019s also hurtful, you need to nip that in the bud. Tell them you aren\u2019t interested in their opinions and don\u2019t confide in them again.<\/p>\n

Do they use your words against you? Psychic Dylan ext. 5495 can teach you to confide in them less.<\/strong> <\/em><\/a><\/p>\n

Reduce Contact or Totally Disconnect<\/strong><\/p>\n

Some blunt people are always going to be blunt, and they aren\u2019t capable of seeing how they\u2019ve hurt you. If you\u2019ve expressed your feelings, stopped seeking their advice, put the kibosh on their unsolicited advice, and you don\u2019t see an improvement, it\u2019s time to reduce contact or totally disconnect. When you\u2019ve had enough, you\u2019ll walk away.<\/p>\n

Life is often challenging and harsh. You deserve a little comfort and a soft place to land, and if you can\u2019t get that from friends and loved ones, who can you expect to get that from?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
