Trust me I mean that, I really don’t care how brutal the truth is. If I’m saying something to somebody else then I might dumb it down a bit but when people speak to me I want them to be clear in what they’re saying so that I know exactly what’s going on.
For example, if I’ve made a big mistake in my work in college I don’t want the teacher to say something along the lines of “yeah, there was a slight mistake here, and here and here, you should probably change it”. I’d rather have them say something like “What is this? This is totally wrong, go and re do it”. Or if a friend or relative was badly injured and in hospital or died, I would honestly rather here “your friend/relative is dead”. I don’t want to listen to 5 mins of BS before hand.
