I’m not sure if it’s a strength to be like this or not. The prospect of being blunt with people (or just honest when it would be likely to upset or offend them) is something that makes me anxious to the point of feeling dizzy. But, at the same time, I’m fairly sure that the people I convince don’t think I’m an asshole. I’d much rather provoke sympathy than scorn, even if it makes me feel dirty.
