Having no filter makes you incredibly genuine and honest, but it can also be a huge struggle when you suffer from regular word-vomit attacks. If you have no filter, here are 11 things you definitely know to be true:
1. You're bad at first impressions.
Meeting new people is always a struggle because failing to think before you speak often leads you to say the wrong thing.
2. You unintentionally offend people.
You will most likely verbalize when you think someone’s outfit makes them look like they’re homeless or their hair style is “interesting.” However, your statements are usually not meant maliciously; you’re simply making observations.
3. People think you’re stupid.
Sometimes the things that come out of your mouth sound unintelligent to those who are not familiar with your I-say-whatever-comes-to-mind style.
4. And it’s worse at parties
The comments you make become even more out of control when the night begins to get hazy...
5. No one tells you secrets.
Your friends think that because you are brutally honest and often say the wrong thing, their deep dark secrets might slip out too.
6. Your friends are always apologizing for you.
You always cause second-hand embarrassment to the people you go out with. When you’re at a restaurant with friends, they feel the need to apologize to the waiter for the awkward comments you made when you were ordering.
7. You’re terrible at surprising people.
If it’s on your mind, you let it out. So you’re never part of the planning process for surprise parties, proposals, etc.
8. You get in trouble with authority.
Having no-filter carries over when you’re dealing with teachers, parents, and other high-standing people in your life, so you’re always getting in trouble for accidentally disrespecting authority.
9. You always lose card games.
No filter equals no poker face.
10. People think you’re self-absorbed.
Because you say whatever is on your mind, people assume that you think your opinions are most important, but really you just can’t keep them to yourself.
11. You never lie.
Your friends know they can always trust you to be honest about an outfit, and you give the best advice too.
Being someone who always speaks their mind can get you in a lot of trouble, but being a genuine person and true to yourself is one of the best qualities a person can have. Sometimes you're even really funny! And you're definitely never bored.
