“I have learned that friendship isn’t about who you’ve known the longest, it’s about who came and never left your side.”
– Yolanda Hadid
Blunt people don’t really make the best first impressions. They can come across as rude or harsh to others sometimes. Despite that, they really do have good intentions. Once you get to know them, you’ll realize just how kind they really are.
Having someone like this as a friend can make a huge impact in your life. Here are 6 reasons why your blunt friend is probably your best friend.
1. They Push You to Better Yourself
A friend like this will see potential in you that you yourself might not even see. They don’t want you to waste your talents by not improving yourself or not taking risks. Because of that, they’ll always push you to do more and won’t have a problem in telling you to.
2. They Won’t Lie to You
Some people may not like their brutal honesty, but it’s definitely better than having a friend who lies. Whether you want to hear the truth or not, they’ll always give it to you. The reasons they do this isn’t because they’re rude, it’s because they’re looking out for you.
3. You Always Know Where You Stand
Nothing’s worse than having a frenemy without even realizing it. Thankfully, with this friend, you won’t have to worry about that. They never hold back when they don’t like someone, and you’ve seen them do it time and time again. So, you can always be sure that they’re friends with you because they want to be.
4. They Won’t Let You Make Stupid Mistakes
Some friends can be afraid to tell you what they really think. They’ll let you do something that they know that you’ll regret because they’re afraid to hurt your feelings. Unlike them, this friend isn’t afraid to tell it like it is. Even if it doesn’t seem like it, they always have your back.
5. They Admit When They’re Wrong
You’ve seen that this person isn’t afraid to tell people when they’re wrong. However, that doesn’t mean that they’re stubborn and blind to their own mistakes. They’re always honest, so when they do something wrong, they’ll own up to it and apologize.
6. They’re Your Toughest Critic, But Your Biggest Support
Have you ever watched someone audition for a singing contest on TV and wonder why no one told them that they were awful? Well, it was probably because they didn’t have a friend like this. They will always tell you the truth about everything. Along with that, they will help you to improve yourself along the way.
Having a friend like this will mean always having someone in your corner that you can trust. Everything that they do, they do out of love. Truly, blunt people are some of the best friends out there if you just give them a chance.
