Are you "unfiltered"?

I have noticed (in all my wisdom) that when I see all the cute little anecdotes on FaceBook and other places about how someone is "unfiltered" that they are bragging about it. Oh, I'm not a bicch, I'm just unfiltered. I say what I think, blah blah blah. But really, doesn't that just mean your rude, disrespectful and don't think about anyone other than yourself? Are YOU unfiltered? Why? Did you not get enough hugs as a child? Let's hear about it.

    I associate "unfiltered" more with brutal honesty, but even that can be delivered tactfully.

    Saying what's on your mind is no excuse for being rude. I have no problem communicating my emotions - regardless of what they are - without being rude or insulting.

    I'm so abrasive in my fight against ignorance that staff would nuke me in 3 posts if I went unfiltered.

    My theory is if you have to start a sentance with "I'm not a b*tch but........." then, you are a b*tch.


    Not that there is anything wrong with that.

    Myself, I've got enough of a filter to make most people think that I'm really nice.

    As I have had issues with mine today. I take offense at this! But then again, I can be an *kitten*, and you are all supposed to only tell me how awesome I am. Have you not read the terms of the site yet?

    Actually, unfiltered is the exact word I use on the sub-title of my personal blog.

    I used it on purpose, because, compared to my other blog, which is about building a small business from the bottom up? The tone is different.

    In the business blog, I'm politically correct and overly polite in my writing, much as I would be at the day job.

    I do drop some cuss words in my personal blog, which a lot of people might find offensive, so I kinda put that "unfiltered" in the subtitled as sort of a warning. :smile:

    I think you nailed it. Society demands that we "filter" ourselves. Even these "unfiltered" types are still filtering. They're not walking around nude are they? Because society demands that we clothe ourselves (okay, it's February and freezing, and that may have something to do with it. Still.) These unfiltered folks still look to compliment the people they care about (or want something from). Everything that is said and everything we project into the world goes through our own personal filter. People with Asperger's Syndrome suffer from not being able to filter correctly, and this is a mental disorder. No one chooses to be "unfiltered". They choose to be rude, or condescending, or whatever. But not unfiltered.

    Bingo. I file myself under the "brutally honest, but (mostly) tactful" category.

    Agreed. Some people don't care and just say cause we'll that's how they are.

    ^^^ LOL ^^^

    That is like when the girls in the office start a sentence with, "I don't mean any harm, but..." then out come the claws, and there usually IS harm...


    I'll be the first person to tell you I can be a real b*tch. I'm not stuck on that setting, however...it comes and goes.
