“Let me be blunt”: This usually means that someone is about to tell you something you’re not going to like -or- agree with. What they think is the absolute truth is only THEIR version of the facts. THEIR version of reality.
“Let me be blunt” is a phrase leading to a statement, leading to an emotion, leading to a feeling that you may not like or want to deal with.
I DON’T want anyone to be blunt to me. Sugar coat it, don’t tell me the absolute truth. Please don’t make me feel bad. It’s already been a tough day.
Of course, if it’s your MOM, you have no choice. (Yes mom, I know you only want the best for me…) But when complete strangers write anonymous comments???? WTF
Problem is, there are so many places online to be blunt these days, that the temptation is just too great.
I know, I should have thicker skin (which I write about in another post), but, I can’t help myself.
A thousand people can love and worship what I do, but if just one negative comment shows up, it feels like a thousand paper cuts.
Anything that can make me roll up into a fetal position is not welcome in my world.
What can I say?
I know… “Let me blunt”: “Keep it to yourself.”
