Truth Bomb

The realist prides himself on being a truth teller.  They are the type of people who tend to look through the bullshit and see what is really going on. It’s a talent, it’s a gift, and it’s also the fastest way to be a jerk.

What’s the point of delivering a truth bomb if it deafens the audience?  Giving someone a piece of your mind is more about you than them.

The realist might say “That’s not my problem, I’m just calling it like I see it.”

Calling it like you see it and being blunt doesn’t move the needle in the right direction. (I checked). It’s relationally lazy. The more useful approach is to start with kindness.  The heart behind what you say manifests itself through your tone.  

If your tone is laced with self interest it won’t go well.
