I can be brutally honest at times, especially when someone IS being condescending and phony. I feel that in public situations it applies, but especially on the net *I should have said that… Sometimes, some people are SO OBVIOUSLY phony, and just trite and corn ball… and people buy into it and accept it at face value as kindness, and don’t see any of it for what it is. *Or do they do see it, and just don’t say?
It’s not really an area of my life where I am all that tactful because I see it as an insult to a persons intelligence to be made to feel they have to accept it or you’ll upset the one being ingenune *G-d forbid.
I think sometimes, some people don’t even realize they do it; I think THEY believe they are being genuine… It really get’s under my skin. I just have trouble playing nice, I think that we should be able to speak our minds and be honest and not always have to sugar coat worthless, useless interactions that are meaningless because they are ingenuine.
Many times… even when people are aware, they seem to allow it and in many cases prefer it.
