Are you close to anyone who lacks tact?

"I'm going to speak my mind"

No filter and believe it's completely justifiable.

You notice these types always have issues with everybody and everything and never really progress in life socially and professionally?

They also believe that they are better and stronger people than others because they are so brutally honest. However, I realized that these types are very thin-skinned. They can dish it, but can't take any criticism that comes towards them.

I meet a fair share of females like this and I say to myself: "Man, I see why she's single"

I'm not close to anyone like that but I follow a distant cousin of mine on Facebook who is like that just for the entertainment she provides.

I live in Lafayette, 90% of my peers aren't even aware of what tact is. So yeah, sadly I have a bunch of tactless friends.

Edit: As proof, we elected Clay Higgins, who doesn't know his arse from a hole in the ground.

You just described the lying psycho bitch that I used to work with.

There's not much of a bigger indicator of a person's personality than hearing, "One thing about me, I'm going to tell you how it is." They always seem to think that's a trait that I'm going to find impressive or appealing.

It's called "keepin(g) it real" and it's a noble trait.

Seems like all are women. Someone told the ladies that attitude was cool, and it ain't. Just because you think it doesn't mean you gotta say it

You can speak your mind and still have tact.

Yes, my dad. He would agree with that too saying life is too short.

quote:

No filter

Yes

quote:

Odd phrase for this. I wouldn't say my dad feels justified.

Nope, he is very outgoing and social when he wants to be, much more so than me. And he did pretty well for his career.

quote:

They also believe that they are better and stronger people than others because they are so brutally honest.

Nope. Never claims to have a moral high ground or to be right. He's lacking in tact. He isn't a douchebag.

quote:

They can dish it, but can't take any criticism that comes towards them.

Depends on the circumstances. He doesn't care if his way is the right way or wrong way, he still wants it done his way. He is pretty humble outside of that.

Yes, I've been told that I'm that way. It's been helpful and hurtful along the way. Kind of hard to change who you are. Some things need to be said straight forward. One thing I'm not is a hypocrite.

It's because guys learn in elementary school that if he mouths off to another guy there's a good chance he's gonna get his knuckles checked.

Girls don't learn this lesson because they rarely confront each other directly. Instead they are passive aggressive and create drama behind the scenes.

Assuming that you're serious, do you ever feel like you should tone it down?

Someone is putting up with her BS if she is in the right zone in the hot/crazy matrix

If he's smart, he's had that quick conversation of 'what color do you prefer your ballgag to be'
