Can you provide an example of what you call direct and blunt?
In my experiences, I have found that most people are mentally fragile. The last thing I want to do is add to that. I work to figure out how to word what I want to say so they are receptive of what I am saying. Not that I expect them to follow it, but maybe, they will think about what I have said.
Some people I have known over the years who were just rude and uncaring, also had no respect for who they were talking to. They did not care if they hurt someone or not.
Sarah, I am not saying you do this. I am expressing my in person experiences with the topic you brought up.
