AIBU to think that people are becoming too sensitive

[Whyisareallthenamestaken]

Just that really.
I feel like people have become so sensitive that we are expected to constantly watch what we say and even how we say/phrase it.

I don’t like telling lies and would rather give my candid opinion, but I’m always stuck between being truthful and risking hurting people’s feelings, or lying and telling them what I think they want to hear.

I would rather you tell me the truth just as it is without sugar coating it, but no one seems to do that anymore these days.

Seems like it’s now considered RUDE to be truthful.

I’ve got some scenarios to use as example but they will be in the comments..

I agree, @BertrandRussell. And while I accept that it is impossible to go through life and meet no rudeness or offensiveness, I also think that it is not only possible but a good thing, to try to avoid being rude or giving offence where possible. If there is a rude/blunt/offensive way to put your point across, and a more polite, less rude and offensive one, why not choose the latter? And if you choose the former, in the knowledge that it is rude and is likely to cause offence, then that is not a good quality, in my opinion.
