Sometimes, I can be a real asshole. No, this isn't related to the above, this is separate. Actually, it's not that I'm so bad, it's that your average human cannot take brutal honesty. See, I'm the kinda guy, you ask my opinion, or you give me the chance to express it, and I'm gonna give it to you. When I do, you aren't gonna get sugarcoating or niceties; I'll give it to you straight up, no chaser. And you just might hate to hear it...though, 99% of the time, I'm right, and you'll come to see that.
Yes, that's an arrogant thing to say, but it's true. And it's not that I'm so smart that I know everything, it's that I'm not distracted by emotion and bias, so I boil things down to the basics and go from there. And most people can't handle that. Humans feel safe inside their little shells, back behind those filters that they have erected like walls to clean the dirty Truth so that, by the time they face it, it's some pretty Pollyanna version of the world...and then they are shocked when things fall apart.
So, just a warning. Don't ask me for my opinion or advice if you don't want that truth shoved in your face. You wanna hear what you wanna hear, you go somewhere else, there ain't no sugar here, kid. Just raw, unvarnished Truth, sold by the pound.
