Have you heard the saying being brutally honest? It is usually used in a context where the truth might hurt the other person but you reveal it for their own good. Therefore you are being kind. But what about being too honest? Have you ever come across anyone such as this?
Someone who loves to 'be honest' will say anything without any filter, and disregard for other people's feelings just for the sake of being honest.
Situation 1
A: I'm planning to surprise XX with a smartphone.
C & D: What a wonderful surprise!
B: That's a horrible idea. XX won't make use of the gift. Even animals are able to use a smartphone better than X can.
1. B has taken away the excitement of planning a surprise.
2. B has insulted XX by saying that an animal is better.
3. B disrespects XX as a person
4. B has hurt A's feelings as XX must be someone dear for A to be planning a surprise.
In conclusion, B is not just being too honest, B is being mean and hurtful.
We live in a society and not on our own. So just remember if you have to urge to be too honest. Pipe it down. No one needs to know it. Instead of helping, you just might make the situation worse. Jangan buat orang menyampah sudah.
My level of tolerance is really starting to reach its peak.
What do you do with people like this??
