Gotta love brutally honest people

Hello Macdingolinger. Yes I prefer honest people, people who say what they want to say. When people are too careful not to offend others it sometimes makes them seem dishonest or even like they're sucking up to someone. If I look bad and someone tells me I don't look my best I think that's much better than being told I look great when I don't.

I admire honest people. It takes a lot of character and guts to tell the other person how you feel. I prefer them more than those who will praise when your with them and back stab you in the end. Sometimes it really hurts to hear the truth. Open rebuke is better than secret love.

it depends on what it is. there is a right way and a wrong way to tell someone something. if they say it in real love for my own good, then yes, i can accept it. i may not agree with them about it or do it. it will get me thinking, however. if someone is rude and just blurts something out. no, i really don't appreciate it very much. they are just plain rude.......

i love honest and frank people but sometimes if it's brutal or blunt, it defeats the purpose. i could take it from friends but not quite acceptable receiving it from people who are not really close to me. but still, i would try to understand. it is still better for me to receive 'the blows' first hand than hear it from other people that someone says something about me, etc. that is more uncomfortable.

People who give brutally honest feedback are really those that you can depend on more than most. I mean, they are not about to sugarcoat anyone. A lot of people like that really do care about the feelings of others. Therefore, it it really does not matter if they say something that might offend someone. If they have an opinion, they are going to give it, pretty much no questions asked at all. I do admit that it can tend to a bit jarring at times. They can be harsh but it might prod us to do something that could help us improve. It is very useful, no matter how mean spirited they might say. These people can be the most useful people and they tend to be rather observant. I mean, they would have to be quite observant, to notice these type of things, that they are painfully and brutally honest about that. Brutally honesty is something that earns its name for sure.

It will depend if they tell it to my face without me feeling offended by it. If they made me fumingly mad about the way they tell it to me they will really know that I am just the same with them and they should just wait until I tell them to their faces about their flaws. Yes I sometimes get uncomfortable with these people but then the key is to tell it nicely. I will not have a problem dealing with them because I am a very honest person as well but not brutal.

Thing is brutally honest people can keep the world in check. Often times, I love brutally honest people because they just make me want to fight that much harder to get something right or to do something that is better than what I could have imagined it to be.

yeah i really like brutal honesty from others. it saves alot of unnecessary time.

Hi, macdingolinger. I do want a person to be honest with me. I just don't want them to be cruel and nasty with me at all. I want them to be nice to me without being ugly in character. If their tone is very polite, then I will reconsider taking their honesty not for granted.

I think it depends on who it's coming from. Some people do it just to be snotty, and no I don't like that. If they do it to be helpful, and know when to keep their mouth shut about certain things.. then yes, I do like that. My husband is the opposite of brutally honest especially when it comes to if I look okay in what I'm wearing. He'll say I look okay in anything even though I can see that it looks completely disgusting on me. I try to be as honest as possible.. but if I don't know you well and am not sure if I'll hurt your feelings or not then I'll probably lie a little bit.

Yea, I agree. Actually people should learn to be more straightforward, don't beat about the bush. Sometimes, when they do this, we don't even know what the hell they want, worst still, misunderstandings arise and after that, conflict.

Hi Mac!. Its not easy to find honest people this time, especially if you give them responsibility in holding money. I think I like honest person because I open to good criticize and love to if someone give me one. I don't like people who said nicely in front of me but tell a bad thing about me to others.

I like open and honest input but in some cases I don't know why but it is very difficult to give your open and honest inputs.
