Do people ever seem put off by your opinions or call you opinionated even if your just presenting the information logically. I don't generally make uneducated decisions or have unintelligent opinions and I am open to other points of view, but for some reason most people get very defensive when I state my opinion. I do seem to have a more passionate approach to things I care about, but I am getting really tired of others thinking that I shouldn't feel so strongly about my decisions or opinions.
My husband said tonight " I love it that you make people secretly cringe inside"
I think that hilarious but also a little disturbing.
I am just trying to be honest and I think that maybe sometimes the truth is just not what people want to hear.
Do any of you have the same experiences?
I don't really skirt around an issue much and as long as I know it won't devastate the other person I will be very upfront with what has been called "brutally honest" about things. I don't find it brutal, just honest.
People do however say that they always know where they stand with me and they can expect me to be honest with them regardless.
I take some pride in that, but I don't want to be considered offensive really, but I also don't want to be vague and play games.
