Impressionistic

Now while I completely understand the need for tact, I wish it didn’t exist. I don’t ever mean to offend anyone, and I dislike that I have to change my speech to convey that. I wish people weren’t so sensitive. I like that trying to be tactful makes you think about what you’re going to say to someone, but at the same time, that just wouldn’t be necessary if people just understood that being straightforward is not the same as being rude. Perhaps I just feel this way because I am terribly tactless and end up being silently upset in too many situations.
