STRAIGHT TALK IS NOT RUDE
Don't deceive yourself with the idea that being straightforward means you must say things anyhow.
You can speak your mind, be honest and say things exactly as they are without insulting people, disrespecting them or closing doors for yourself.
Being direct is good. Being disrespectful is not. you can tell the truth and still have wisdom. You can be honest and still have manners.
Straight talk is not a license for rudeness.
