If you can't say what you think without other people getting upset, then you either need to change the way you think, or change the way you say it.
Or change the people you are with.

I find that most people that claim to be direct, brutally honest, doesn't pull punches, etc. are in truth, tactless dickheads with little to no social skills. If you don't understand how to modulate your interactions based on the situation, you're clueless.
I guess this isn't one of those times you ought to be clued in and tactful ...
