I'm so sick of all the passive, nice people. Is it so hard to say what you are thinking? Is it so hard to be a critic? Is it so hard to fucking to be truthful? I'm sick of everyone avoiding being rude at the cost of everyone being lied to constantly. I'm sick of all the people who will restrain themselves for the sake of others feelings,

yeah i think this world would be a more peaceful place if everyone was agressive and mean (as opposed to passive and nice). On the other hand, i think we're better off how it is now. I suppose you can go on thinking you are better than everyone by being blunt with them, but the blunt truth is that sometimes you have to lie to make people feel good. What would you say when you open a birthday present from your grandma, only to find a hideous sweater in the box? "Thank you grandma, I love it", or "Grandma, this sweater is ugly and i will probably never wear it." Im sure your grandma would very much respect the fact that you were blunt with her.

Danny makes a good point. There are many people that are passive by nature.

Or passive by nurture. It is hard to change all ways, but it is possible.

"I suppose you can go on thinking you are better than everyone by being blunt with them" <-- What the hell is that? That is completely irrelevant, not to mention wrong, to this topic.

And your assuming that if one is not passive, then one is aggressive. This is not so. There are so many other ways of being, like assertive and nonconfrontational. And just becasue one is blunt doesn't eman they are necessarily mean. For one, the reason people think that is becasue we have all these stupid tendencies brainwashed into our heads that one has to be poltie and follow rules, even if those rules are illogical and unfair.

And with your grandma situation, is it not worse for her to find out later that that you hate the sweater than for her to find out at the point or you get it. I guess your right in saying that you shouldn't say that you hate it or w/e right away. However, you dont need to fake that you like it, you could merely just not say anything.

Steve isn't giving out the message to start conflicts, he just trying to get out that he thinks it is stupid to be nice to people when it isnt deserved.

The best way to be honest is with compassion and consideration. We should deffinately confront issues, but blutness often comes off as contentious and mean, and there are ways of getting one's point across without becoming cruel and uncouth.
