I'm a "straight-shooter" but am I honest or am I just rude and calling it directness? Analyze my straight-shooting: what do I say? How do I say it? Then reality-check: straight-shooting is honest and direct while respecting people; rudeness is just saying whatever you want without considering impact. Map my "honesty" and expose: am I being truthful and kind or am I just being an asshole and calling it authenticity? Show me where directness is valuable vs. where I'm just lacking social grace. Include: whether I'm straight-shooter or just rude, what I'm getting away with by calling it honesty, and if people appreciate my directness or just tolerate me.
