How outspoken are you, IRL?

I mean...I am very outspoken in real life ..:p
With my friends I always speak my mind...and sometimes our conversations sound and look like this:


With males I am another person. Gentle, kind, refined...


What about you?:)

What are the women in the video talking about?

Generally, I'm soft spoken and quiet in real life. If people will let me talk, I'll talk, but if I'm with people who constantly interrupt and never let me get a word in edgewise, then I'll usually just shut down and lose all interest in conversation.

Well....it's Mussolini's granddaughter talking to a leftist journalist :)
The dialogue is something like this:

- She sounds like a social justice warrior's center...
- No I do not. It's like I called you fascist. I am not making fun of your surname

LOL

I know how to stay married.
So my candor is unleashed with discretion.

I am very sweet and kind with my boyfriend.

But when it deals with arguing with my friends...who are like sisters to me...we are very blunt to each other.
It's fun actually...there's a lot of complicity and arguments... :) because we share opinions that may differ from each other, but at the end of the day we always make fun of ourselves and our flaws.

I think that taking life not that seriously is the secret to live well.

I've heard people say that America is weird, but I think every country has its own idiosyncrasies. It's part of the charm, I guess.

I guess I could never understand the logic of people yelling at each other, since neither of them really hear what each other is saying, and neither does the audience. That may be why some people prefer text-based communication, as it allows people to have their say without being interrupted or shouted down.

I don't make a lot of noise, and tend to be pretty quiet. Sometimes people mistake that to mean that I'm easy to push around. Nope. Then they get a big surprise.

I tend to be very blunt as well; I say it how it is, and do what needs to be done. Unfortunately, it means I get stuck doing with doing that too often, because no one else wants to...

I speak the same way with men and women. Men tend to respond to me better. I do word things for different people, though, in ways they can understand or relate to it. That has nothing to do with gender, though.

This illustrates a difference between North and South European culture. As a young man on a visit to Malaga in Andalucia, I recall hearing two old men sitting on stools outside the pension we were staying in, going at each other hammer and tongs. I thought they were about to come to blows, but there they were again every morning, still shouting at each other, and apparently still the best of friends. In England, after that much shouting they'd have been off their stools, taking their jackets off, and probably shoving each other until one of them threw a punch.

It all depends as to who one is talking to, and especially whether it is an individual or a group, and as to whether one knows them well or not. I'm not shy of giving my opinion but will usually hold back if such would not really achieve anything, and especially if it might just cause friction or even violence - given that some are more in control of themselves than others. :oops:

I've probably fairly lucky in having had friends who tended to get on well together, and given we often had to operate as a team in outdoor activities, this is rather essential - especially the trust issue. So no issues with these. But one of our friendship group I suspect was more right-wing than most others, so politics was usually off the menu in his case. :oops:

I'm generally easy going and try to at least get along enough to be civil with people. But if I get pushed hard enough or if someone "steps on my toes" I'm going to say something (I've noticed this typically starts with "yo." I don't know why).
But if it's friends or family being pushed my fuse tends to be short, and I can get pretty nasty (I shocked a few people the time this ***** called my brother snitch).

I value outspokenness in a person, because it means they are sincere. :)
So it can be a plus in friendship.

As for being in a relationship, I prefer mystery and unsaid things.

I never use vulgar words in real life. Not even with my friends. :)
But I am outspoken. If I think they have been impolite and annoying, I tell them.

I use "dearest, honey" all the time whenever I am angry with them. I guess...these are to sweeten bitter things. :p

It depends. At times I can be quiet and reserved. Other times I say things that other people may not share due to the embarrassing nature of it but sometimes I just don't care.

I'm so laid back I'm almost comatose.
I do get upset about dumb stuff I do, but mostly not at others.
