truth without cruelty

Anyone who self-proclaims to be "brutally honest" is just a bully. It's not as cute and quirky as you think it is! I am not advocating for sugarcoating or eggshell-walking here, but I immediately know you are just looking to be mean while avoiding accountability if you describe yourself this way. It's alwaysssss obvious that you WANT to inflict emotional damage, which is so ugly. You can call someone out while maintaining diplomacy! You can speak your truth without being cruel! It's just not that hard! Grow up :)
