Do you think some people get rudeness and the truth mixed up?

Question

?

Answer 1

Yes, frequently. A lot of people don't beat around the bush, especially when it comes to dealing with an important truthful issue and they tend to be very straight forward, opinionated and blunt regarding the matter at hand. Others might take offence to this, especially if they aren't used to being confronted. They also might not like it if the other person is being inconsiderate while being blunt at the same time.

Answer 2

I think some people mistake their rudeness as being "TRUTHFUL".  In other words, just because someone is fat, doesn't mean that you need to be the one to point it out to the fat person.  Obviously, that person has to dress themselves, I am sure they are more than AWARE of their size.  But I have seen some people, who feel the need to address others, in stores, advising them of what need to be putting in their baskets or not putting in their baskets.  I remember once, a long time ago, a very large woman was shopping in a Publix in Florida and another woman walked up to her and said "You wouldn't be so fat if you stopped drinking that soda" and literally took the soda out of the other ladies cart and walked off with it.  I was dumbstruck!  I couldn't believe my eyes or ears!  The poor lady stood there and cried.  I walked up to her and said "I can't believe she did that, there is something wrong with her" and the lady said "I am not fat because I can't watch what I eat, I have a medical problem and have to take steroids and they make me fat!".  When I saw the other lady at the checkout, I said "I heard what you said to that lady" and she looked at me and laughed and said "Well, someone needed to tell her the truth!"  I just looked at her and said "Not everyone needs to know what we think of them or how RUDENESS is being passed off as TRUTH these days" and I walked away.  So yes, people seem to have taken up passing their versions of "TRUTH" onto others, as if it was asked for or wanted, when it is simply being rude and using the TRUTH SHIELD to hide their true nature of being the being pigs they are inside.  Great question BTW!

Answer 3

ha well i think that there are ways of going about presenting the truth that are less offensive that others, however, if a person is actually telling the complete truth, then the other person should ultimately feel at least a little grateful for it in the long run, even if they feel that the person presenting the truth was being rude or mean at the time.
