This is an article about being the blunt person in the friend circle. Being blunt means many things...you are honest, there is no such thing as a filter, you don't take anything from anyone, you get annoyed at the drop of a pen, you raise your voice often, your attitude level is always at like a 10. There are many other things, but you will find out if you know one of these. Or maybe you are this friend.
Blunt friends will always be straight up honest and tell you what they think. They have no filter on their mouths and you may get offended at just about everything they say. You should not take everything they say so seriously, though. They really don't mean what they say, or actually, scratch that, they do, but they don't think about things that they say. They just say it and it is probably something that you don't want to hear or that is going to hurt your feelings (whatever those are). Don't take everything they say so seriously, they're just being blunt.
They won't take anything from anyone. You get them, they're going to get you back. There is no such thing as winning when it comes to challenging a blunt friend. They will win every argument, every prank war, everything, so just don't.
They will literally get annoyed at anything. There is a right and a wrong way to squeeze the toothpaste. Betch ya didn't know that. There is really no pleasing someone who is super blunt. Just don't get upset when they ask you to do something differently, or pick up after yourself. Or when they tell you or someone else how they really feel.
When they do get annoyed or mad or whatever, they will raise their voice. They care about your feelings but they don't, so they will raise their voice anywhere, in front of anyone. Don't get upset because the blunt friend will get over it pretty quick.
Attitude. So much attitude. All. Of. The. Time. You eventually will get used to it but there are some people who just can't seem to wrap their head around the fact that there are people that have major attitude. Like, major attitude. If you can't take the heat, stay out of the kitchen. Better yet, stay far away from the kitchen because blunt friends care about your feelings, but they don't.
Having a blunt friend can be the biggest nightmare, while being the best day dream. They will tell you straight up what they think. They will tell you that the dress you're wearing may not go as well with the earrings you get on as you think. They will tell you that guy or girl you are dating just isn't the right one for you. They are good friends to have around, if you can handle it. Are you the blunt friend? Or are you the one that has to deal with the blunt friend?
