Do you tend to be tactless sometimes?

I am also that sometimes. I would just realize i have offended someone when that person suddenly stopped talking or even smiling at me. When i notice that, i would ask her and explain what i meant and apologize .

I'm very careful with what I say. I have the ability to really control my tongue and think first before saying things. I often consider who I'm talking with before I speak my mind. I do this because in the past, I have said some words that were really tactless and they did bother me a lot, as much as the person who got bothered by what I said.

Hi. whengcat. With what I have been through in my life for my own self, I am no longer tactless. People have offended me, so I make sure that I don't try to offend someone else. If I do, I try to make sure that I don't offend them at all. Especially, around, a sister-in-law. I am pretty sure that your sister did not mean to offend her sister-in-law like she has, but sometimes these in-laws can take things too seriously.

Sometime im so sarcastic and tactless but i didn't meant to hurt somebody, sometime i say the word that were not meant to be especially when i get mad. so that i tried not to talk when i fell upset.

Sometimes, I do tend to be tactless as well. But I can say I was more tactless when I was younger but as you get older, you tend to realize when not to talk, when to talk, what to say, how to say things, whom to say things and all that stuff. I can't say I'm a hundred percent tactful, but I still have moments when I tend to be tactless. And when I do, I apologize immediately especially if I get to realize how it sounded to a particular person and to others with us. As they say, think before you talk and as much as possible, lesser talks mean lesser mistakes.

Yes, I tend to be tactless sometimes but I don't mean to hurt anyone especially if they are my friends. Sometimes we hurt someone because we are simply implying the truth behind our words and we tend to ignore the feelings of someone.

I wouldn't consider myself tactless, no. I tend to go to quite a lot of trouble to avoid giving offence. Having said that, there are times I give offence without meaning to, simply by trying so hard not to...and someone may misinterpret my words, or meaning. Yet while I'm tactful, I can also be extremely honest and outspoken in debate; although...on a general, not personal level. I don't like hurting peoples feelings.

Hi whengcat. I tend to be very careful with what I say. Before even saying out loud, I ask myself whether I'll get hurt if I say something. If yes, then I just keep my mouth shut . But I believe I do have moments where I became tactless but I'd like to believe it's seldom. I hope the sister in law is ok now .

Hi whegcat I have learned within the years to be careful after some careless honest mistakes. See I am a very happy and fun type person and at times I do tend to think a bit more first before I can interact with someone. Reason is that sometimes we do not know the person too well and what seems to be a joke is taken out of context, so I have learned that we must be careful until we truly know the person well before we apply something tactless.

I could say I am tactless most often too. Well, I am used to practical jokes and well some real cruel jokes thrown at me and I don't get offended. I just got back at them and throw them some good practical jokes. Well, I am tactless with my friends, I know them and they know me. When I say things I know, they knew what I meant and that they know when I am joking or not. Maybe the lesson there is to speak accordingly with the person you're with. IF you're with the person who usually throw some jokes at you then it's safe to be tactless on "jokes" while if you're talking or with someone who's a serious type of person, then maybe you should be cautious in throwing words at the person. IT might just offend him/her just what happened to your sister.

I am not the tactless type of person,I usually thin k twice before making a joke or some remarks that might offend somebody,that is because I don't like tactless persons either,so if anyone behaves with me like this I feel offended and I reply and forget about politeness and diplomacy,but I am not the person who starts such an argument,it isn't my style,I only respond when I need to.
