BLUNT

I like to be straight forward about things. Even blunt. It's just how I am. It's one of the better ways to get your feelings out there. If you beat around the bush, chances are slim that you'll get the point across. In fact, the only time I'm not really straight forward is if I'm being shy, which happens a lot actually (especially with women), if I'm dealing with very sensitive people, or if I'm trying to keep the peace.

I just like the idea of saying how you feel, instead of bottling it up for you to explode. It usually starts with a meek kindness, "Dude, I'm not sure if you should be doing that. I don't think it's a good idea." But no one ever really responds well to that. " I know what I'm doing, don't worry about it." So then you try the straight forward method. The problem is it usually involves insensitivity. So now you're stuck between a rock and a hard place. You care so much that you are now willing to be a prick, lol. All because most people don't want to listen to reason.

Have you ever went out with a friend who was dead set on finding a girl to take home just for the night? Have you ever tried telling that person that they're not making a good decision? At this point "I wouldn't do that, you're taking this break up the wrong way." doesn't make a dent in this persons mind. But say "Dude quit being a F#(&ing @$$hole, you're acting like a child." and now you have their attention. It's negative, but it's attention. But maybe that's what it takes to get them to hear you out.

Maybe, one day, we'll be able to get our point across without being so blunt. Maybe, one day, we'll be able to just see how idiotic we're acting and just stop. And maybe, one day, I'll turn into a fish with wings that can sing opera!
