Honesty is a great virtue, although we often don't want to hear it. Therefore, it is not surprising that we keep such friends in our lives who do not have a hair on their tongue. Recent research has shown that they are just such friends - the best friends.
A study, published in the journal Psychological Science, claims that they are just rude and extremely sincere friends – the best friends. These so-called "bad" friends may accidentally or intentionally say something negative, tactless, but brutally honest, all because they think it will help you. And because of course they care about you. These friends-foes love to push you out of your comfort zone and move you to do something you wouldn't otherwise do. Although it seems they are terrible, thus expressing their affection and care. Namely, in themselves they want you to progress and that is why they use harsh words.
For a friend who will be you warnings to a wrong choice of outfit, you might think she's jealous, but it's her sincerity that's real. Namely, we often see ourselves incorrectly or completely in our own image.
Why is it good to have such a friend? Because they will try to wake you up from your self-belief and direct you to make changes that would benefit you. This will never be a friend who will agree with everything you say. He will be strict if he judges that the situation is suitable for it. Because when you find yourself in a difficult situation living situation, its realistic picture will help you. A true friend will not always agree with you, but will have her own opinion.
Also accept this: we ourselves are strict with our loved ones in order to make them aware that they are wrong. Therefore, we should not judge such friends, but we should understand them.
So the next time you get mad at your friend with poisonous tongue, remember that this is their love for you.
