You get very uncomfortable around highly sensitive people because you feel you have to be extra careful around them. And you don’t like having to walk on eggshells around anyone. So, it’s just plain awkward.
Small talk bores you! You are so annoyed when you’re in a situation when you have to talk about trivial stuff, like weather, clothes, other people… it’s not how you like to spend your time. You prefer talking about important and interesting stuff, something of substance. Gossip and such don’t interest you.
Being a blunt person means you’re real, and you don’t have time for anyone who isn’t. It doesn’t mean you’re rude, nor does it make you mean. It just means that you are comfortable enough with yourself, to be honest with those around you, hoping they’ll return the favor.
But often it turns out that you have to mince words and watch out not to hurt somebody’s feelings by your sincerity that is in no way meant to insult anyone.
There is nothing wrong with being genuine. It only means you don’t have time for games. You say it like it is. You don’t sugarcoat anything, and you never mean anything to come off as rude.
It’s the people who choose to see this as something negative, whereas they should be thankful to have a person in their life who will always tell them the truth and not say nice things just for the sake of them feeling good about themselves. That’s not friendship if you have to watch what you say at all times, anyway.
You wish people would start appreciating your transparency no matter the situation because it’s not always easy being the only one who has to say things that other people think but are too afraid to say out loud.
