Am I a bad person for just being straightforward?

thats not bad. if you say it in a nice manner and privately, i think the other person should admire your honesty.

You sure have the guts to tell them things like that. As a straightforward person, there is nothing bad about it. As long as you are using your being straightforward attitude correctly.

i think there is nothing wrong when you want to be straightforward and to tell people how you feel or what you have in mind, but you should be also considerate of people's feelings.

It's not bad to correct someone else but it depend on the words you may say to others which is not offended to anyone... As the words you used here is not proper because you say "contributory to the air pollution" that is not proper, my friend. You should say in proper manner not something like that... If you really want to correct someone you should not speak in the crowd or in front of your student. Your a teacher I think and that is not the proper way to say it...Call the student in the guidance office or in your office if you have then talk to the children about it...

If it jut for BO then for me it is fine. Nothing is bad about it. THe person might not know so they need someone to tell them about it. Since you are their teacher you have right to tell that to your students. It is not just for their sake but for other's good as well. Salute you have guts to tell such to people. If its me I will only be frank to people who I really know.(^^)

No you are not. I do the same. I think there is nothing wrong with telling people how or what. As long as you also explain that if you don't like that part it doesn't mean you don't like the whole person.

Well,being straightforward is not bad at all.On the contrary, i think it is much better that beating around the bushes. But since we all have our self-esteem. So it is better to point out one's shortcomings with some tactics. I think you can use some humorous way to tell your students. It is better to accepted. By the way, are you a teacher? Well,if it is yes. then you do need to be more humorous. I think a humorous teacher can fill the class with happiness, and his or her speech is more easy to accepted by the students. Including his "bad straight words".

No. You are just concerned. If they take it wrong,then, it's not your fault anymore. You just want them to be aware about themselves. Yes, it's kind of hurting/insulting, they should accept it, for their own welfare.

As long as you talk to them in private, it is in no-way bad. If you humiliated the person in front of others, that would be bad! It may be a bit uncomfortable at first, or the person may get mad at you. In the long run the person will probably thank you for being honest. They might not be aware of the problem, or there may be a reason you are not aware of.

you're so cute person.i like it.but i think you'd rather adopt to a better way to express yourself that the other one may agree with you...everyone prefer praised words than bad words!i think you're the same.but you're a good man

why its a bad guy no one likes him some smell of sweat or anything unclean. everyone wants to smell nice and good. I think it is telling that the truth does not make you bad but rather a man who wants to have told the truth that they are not kept clean and there is nothing wrong. This means that you can stand face to face with the problem, and I respect people tekiva. my congratulations. nice day!

There is nothing wrong in correcting other's fault as long as you say it in the right way.Be sure to say it to someone when no one is around and in the nicest way you can.There is noting wrong with it.You are just being honest,and I know that telling other people the truth helps them develop and improve themselves.

i think there is nothing wrong if you tell about your bad body odor, you don't mind what others command let them tell. how many times they laugh at you be brave. being straight forward is good.

Too blunt, i think. If I were that person you had talked to, I would feel really really bad and hate you for saying those things the way you did. Your intentions were good, so try to be in that person's shoes, imagine yourself in that person's shoes then... how would you like to be told about that odor issue and not have your feelings hurt at the same time?

Hello airramtheb and welcome t o myLot. I gather that you are a teacher and if that is the case then yeas it is alright for you to be straight forward with any student in your school. I don't think that telling a student that they are already contributory to the air pollution around us is the way to do it though. You might mention her health instead.

Hi, I would not say that is bad. But I would say that it could hurt lot of people when you behave in such a manner. When you did not really intend to hurt someone, why do you give such a projection to others, that you are rude?! Unless, you are rude and not diplomatic in expressing your thoughts, I would not call it 'bad'. Have a great day!

Because you are a teacher , you have the right to tell those students of what to do in class. Telling them , that they need to take a bath, isn't bad either. Because you are a teacher, you can address them all, so it's up to them to discern, who are they. Well, as to talking to someone as to having a bad body odor, you can do that too, since you are their teacher , but yes, you have to tell them in private and as loving as you can. It really depends on how we say things, for us to be tagged as bad.

hmm, that's what we call an "honest" type of personality. And oh, say some nice things too so you won't feel too straightforward.

Like the others responded to you, its not bad saying those. But just show it in a nice manner. In that way, other people will understand you.

They say that it' snot what you say but how you say it. It is good that you tell them the truth but better say it in a nice way. Some are sensitive and they can be hurt easily. But correcting someone's mistake is one way of showing that you really care for them.
