Some people say I am tactless for just speaking my mind. They don't realise my intention isn't to upset people. I say good positive things, and I also say something about things I disagree with, or don't like sometimes. Saying good things is fine, it is giving those who need it, narcissistic supply. But when I make a comment about something I disagree with or don't like, the person often gets very defensive and usually just attacks me.
I am the way I am because I prefer honesty to lies, I speak my mind and give my true opinion.
On Facebook I guess it isn't directly asked for, but then why do people add me to their contact list if they never want to hear my opinion about things?
Did they only join FB to be surrounded by people who will constantly tell them how wonderful they are and always agree with them?
I guess they must.
I think this is the difference between me and them. When I ask someone's opinion about something, I don't do it to get compliments and be told how wonderful everything is. I ask them so I can get their opinions and then I can either see what they mean and make changes and improve it, or say I don't agree and just stick to how it is, but at least they were honest with me.
If I post something on my FB wall and someone comments under it that they don't agree, I will discuss it with them and find out why they think that, and why I don't. I will look at their side and if needs be just accept we are never going to see eye to eye on that point. But I won't instantly hate that person and attack them and call them names because they don't agree with my opinion about something.
Please try to change your perception of 'tactless' people, as they are just telling you like it is. They are being genuine. They haven't spent hours thinking up what to say, they just say it and they have no ulterior motive.
A troll will just call someone names for no reason, that is completely different. When someone doesn't agree with something, it does NOT mean they are a troll.
