Don't hold your punches.
So recently, it was brought to me that I was "too nice". Now, i'm not completely unfamiliar with this, infact, I've heard it from many people quite a lot. At the same time, I've also been called heartless before, but really, I think I've done a lot less of that since I've grown older.
When I talk to people, be it in person, internet, wherever, I tend to concern their feelings unless I don't like them. And when I don't like them, I just try not to even be bothered and avoid the situation.
And recently, I've just been wondering maybe that's a too naive outlook on things. I mean realistically, there are plenty of people I've known who've crossed the line with me before and I've seriously just kept it moving, but... A person like those never learn until they honestly get informed about themselves and sometimes need that harsh truth put upon them or even a good punch in the face to wake them up.
So, I'm thinking slowly but surely, I'm going to stop holding punches for folks. If they can't deal when they're acting outright, then they can go learn about themselves on their own.
