Have you ever known someone who just "tells it like it is?"

I am reminded of this exchange in Star Trek: The Next Generation

(The band is assembling and tuning up. O'Brien is on cello, a Vulcan on violin)
DATA: Captain. Doctor. I am honoured by your presence, but may I suggest you attend the second concert.
CRUSHER: Why, Data?
DATA: Ensign Ortiz will perform the violin part. My rendition will be less enjoyable.
PICARD: Oh?
DATA: Although I am technically proficient, according to my fellow performers, I lack soul.
CRUSHER: Data, telling us why you're going to fail before you make the attempt is never wise.
DATA: But is not honesty always the preferred choice?
PICARD: Excessive honesty can be disastrous, particularly in a commander.
DATA: Indeed?
PICARD: Knowing your limitations is one thing. Advertising them to a crew can damage your credibility as a leader.
DATA: Because you will lose their confidence?
CRUSHER: And you may begin to believe in those limitations yourself.

Another take on this is do you always have to tell people what you think? If two people are talking about a film and you don't like it, do you have to interject with your thoughts on it? Unless asked or you think you might have to watch the film, what does it matter if two people like a film you dislike or vice versa?

People who are always expressing every thought and worse, stating them as if they are irrefutable facts are just tiresome.

My grandmother thought of herself as someone who just tells it like it is.

What she was was a tactless loudmouth.

Like most fat people really aren't attractive. Ugly on the outside will never land you prom queen title no matter how beautiful you are on the inside. Watching 2 men kiss is not normal and feels completely wrong no matter how much Hollywood tries to desensitize it. Trans people are just insane. Lots of black American men get shoot by cops because they act like wild animals on the streets.

Sadly, such a thing is a double-edge sword. On the one hand, it's sometimes refreshing for someone in the room to say what everyone's thinking, but are too polite or afraid to say out loud. On the other hand, that can be a bad thing, because that sort of bluntness can become a problem in certain social situations.
