Blunt honestly is a preference of mine. I hate those who hide or beat around the bush. There is a sense and gut feeling when others are straight with you. People may say this is street smart or emotional intelligence. I think it is about being self-aware and knowing how I would react or share with others. It is hard to gain my trust. Once you break my trust I become guarded.
Although lately, I have decided to no longer be as guarded and defensive as I once was. Sure I will be smart and only tell certain people certain things in my life to protect myself. But I plan to not hold onto fear, anger, anxiety, or grudges against those that I feel have wronged me. It was their choice to act or behave that way, not mine. If people want to beat around the bush, and not be upfront or truthful, that is their problem, not mine. I am tired of spending so much energy, time, and emotion on those who are inadequate to share the truth up front. Those that are so scared that they are not honest with themselves or honest with others.
I choose to continue to be me, be honest up front, and be me. I choose to not give my time and energy to those who choose a different path. I choose to not be drained by others. I choose to trust my gut and live my best life possible. I choose to trust myself.
