What does it mean when someone says

that “you are blunt” . Is this considered as a bad thing?

Re: What does it mean when someone says

i think so…being blunt is like being ‘inconsiderate’ in pointing out someone’s shortcoming/mistake.

btw, calling someone ‘BLUNT’ is also inconsiderate/rude/impolite!

Re: What does it mean when someone says

Blunt is someone who is straight to the point. And sometimes doesn’t take into account sensibilities of a situation.

It can be a good thing to a certain degree however sometimes its important to be diplomatic.

Re: What does it mean when someone says

In an ideal world, we would treat others as we would like to be treated. Do unto others…

But we are human. And we slip. So at times we are blunt and hurt others. There is a difference between speaking the truth and being unnecessarily hurtful.

“You look terribly overweight. Have you been stuffing yourself?” Is an example of bluntness, even if accurate.

“How about we skip the piazza dinner eat salad tonight? And let us go walking. Its so pleasant outside” is a constructive way to get the other person on. A healthy track.

it means you are rude… and call it out when someone is BS’ing.

Re: What does it mean when someone says

I wouldn’t say being blunt is always synonymous with being rude. It just means you tell things like they are, without beating around the bush.
