Be honest without worrying about how they’ll react. It’s neither my responsibility nor my fault that you think the truth I’m telling you is an affront. All that goes to show me is that you’re energized by the comfort of dishonesty & the truth is your weakness. -TheRhymeRula

I love this. Ever noticed that the ones who love to hand out “brutal honesty” are the ones who can handle it the least when “brutal honesty” is handed back to them? Honesty is fine, I love honesty. Brutal honesty is not, I have no time nor interest in people who put others down to make themselves look better.

Yes, people who like to “keep it real” and hand out “brutal honesty” run the risk of violating boundaries and being disrespectful. As a matter of fact, last night I watched a video on Instagram of someone performing an exercise routine that I saw as wrong, and I refrained from commenting on the video because my initial thoughts were filled with “brutal honesty instead of constructive criticism.” So, I decided not to comment. I thought, What would I gain from being harsh to this person? Ultimately, I believe this person will learn from their mistakes one day. Thank you for reading my post and commenting on it.

Unfortunately, I find sometimes those who violate boundaries only really care when it’s their boundaries that get violated, if they violate yours, you probably “deserved” it. I gave up on trying to correct people, someone is always ready to correct you. The only time I call something of now is if it’s a threat to public safety. The last time I did that was a chokechain style “necklace” foe couples. I’m sure I don’t need to tell you how dangerous that could be.

It’s a selfish way of thinking. Here’s how I look at it: I don’t avoid correcting people if what they’re saying is blatantly wrong. Moreover, I encourage them to try and “correct” me. Therefore, I can let them “dig their own graves” in hopes of starting a civil discourse. Lastly, I usually disengage and let them “win” if the discourse reaches a point where they won’t concede to the facts that I’m providing.
